Moriarty recommends... - What a delightful introduction to murder, mayhem and madness in Melbourne! Our tour guide, Bri (?) could make a corpse smile with her effervescent good humour and cornucopia of 19th and 20th century crime. Who would have thought spending a couple of hours at night in the company of serial killers and armed robbers could be so much fun? Nothing gory or confronting, nothing to leave anyone traumatized. Just good, old-fashioned malefactors keeping the hangman at Old Melbourne Gaol in steady employment. Highly recommended!!

Fascinating tour- great way to learn more about Melbourne. True crime buffs will love! - The tour was really interesting, I’ve been to a few of these sorts of things over the years and found out some cool things I’d never heard. Our guide, Brianna was great, really engaging and personable. Would definitely recommend!

Great fun! - This tour was amazing. Bree was a lovely guide and an expert in Melbournes true crime history. She was very engaging and funny! We learnt so much about Melbournes true crime history and it was even cooler actually being able to see where things occurred many years ago. I loved every minute and would highly reccomend other true crime junkies to do this. Thankyou again Bree you were amazing.

Enjoyable Melbourne Crime Tour - The tour was very enjoyable, however the walking pace of our guide Bree was too fast for the majority of the group. Bree was very informative and had a cheery personality.

Melbourne Crime tour - It was a good walking tour that not only informed us about some historical Melbourne crimes but also covered some ground around the CBD , which involved some beautiful Melbourne Gardens , Melb Exhibition building , immersed us amongst Melbourne traffic and trams . Bree was our guide , she was easy going and fun to be around.

Poor - The guide was too nervous, quiet and didn’t know her speech well enough. She needed to be able to make it more interesting as the stories seemed fine. She was a very nice girl though.
