Absolutely fascinating - Amazing 2hr walk of the city, taking in key points in the city relating to crimes from the area (past and present). A little insight into the minds of criminals and the workings of the justice system. Tour led by someone currently working in the criminal justice system. Absolutely fascinating!

Very informative and enjoyable walking tour. - We had a great walking tour with Nicky on a beautiful balmy Adelaide evening- very informative, with Nicky's personal and professional knowledge adding to the experience. Very well organised, and Nicky kindly adjusted the route to suit us. A must- do in Adelaide for anyone with an interest in local high- profile criminal cases, and excellent value for money. Thanks again Nicky!

Light-hearted tour with an expert! - What an interesting tour, led by a real expert! I had expected this tour to be about only historical crimes but, to my surprise, many cases were recent or even ongoing/involving people who are still alive. This made the expertise of the guide, who has decades of experience in real cases, really important and valuable. We talked about a wide range of crimes, people and convictions and why they were significant and multi-faceted. The guide has an excellent sense of humour and is very personable, which balances out the heaviness of the topic! I particularly enjoyed our interesting conversations about poisoning, fraud, and the big events which led to policy changes that have shaped the Australia of today. (I also freaking loved the party bags we received upon arrival!)

Fascinating and thoroughly interesting. - It was a most fascinating and interesting 2 hour walking tour of Adelaide with an amazing forensic scientist guide, Nicky. We were supplied with a small goodie bag each, and the water was most appreciated as it was a hot day. We had moments where she stopped in some shade to talk to us. Absolutely fascinating talk about Adelaide’s murderers. Definitely worth it, if you are thinking of going, don’t think, just book it!

The stuff the tour guides won't tell you about Adelaide! - Nikki was brilliant, it's quite a trek but she knows so much about such a range of topics, the 2 hours went very quickly. Very informative and certainly interesting, highly recommended!
