A Journey Through Maitland’s History. Take the tour you won't regret it - The Maitland History Walking Tour was an amazing experience Growing up here, it felt so special to be immersed in the stories of my hometown. Seeing familiar places through a historical lens gave me a whole new appreciation for Maitland. A huge thank you to Violet, our guide—her beautiful energy and wealth of knowledge really brought everything to life. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to reconnect with my home town. Highly recommend this tour to anyone, whether you're a local or just visiting!

Amazing tour - My partner and I did the True Crime Tour with Cooper last night and were the only 2 on the tour. It was such an interesting tour (private tour!) and Cooper was amazing - very knowledgeable about the area and told the stories well. He was really friendly, polite, easy to talk to (we spoke not only about the crimes but also a few personal things) and we felt very much as ease in asking questions. We recommend this tour to everyone - everything was amazing!

Recommend - Cooper was friendly and knowledgeable, this is a great way to pass time and see the town. The route could possibly take in more of the main streets and sights but over all an enjoyable walk.

Excellent Tour - We really enjoyed this experience. We loved the stories that were told and looking at all the old buildings. The two things I would change is the walking pace. It says in the advertisement it is a leisurely walk but it was far from that. The other thing that could change is where the tour ended. We expected it to finish where it started and not leave us a kilometre from the train station. We are glad it was daylight....would hate for two women to be walking alone through Maitland to the train station at night.
