Fun night out. - Thor was our guide. He was wonderful and kind. He has good stories to tell and points out where ghosts have been seen. He was a good host, and took the extra time to wait five minutes for a group that was confused about where to meet. Then also made a stop where people could use the toilet.

Worthwhile - Thanks to Doc for a great tour. He had to be flexible due to how busy it was for Anzac day but didn't miss a beat. Some cool and spooky history about the Rocks area of Sydney. He even provided us help finding our way home and some restaurant recommendations.

A great way to spend our Saturday night. - Our tour guide, Georgia, was an engaging story teller. Her stories were interesting, the walk was at a nice pace, and the view at the look out was stunning. Our children, 11 and 13, joined us on the tour and both really enjoyed it.

Glad we booked it! - The tour was recommended by a friend who visited recently. Glad we went and didn’t base it off how many stars. Loved the history that tied into the ghosts and of Sydney itself. Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely different than your typical tourist attractions. Guide kept our attention and made sure the whole group stayed together… even the stragglers. Would recommend if you want to learn more unique things about Sydney and not deal with as many people like daytime trips.

Interesting ghostly tour - We really enjoyed Thor’s stories of the history of the Rocks and ghostly murder stories. He was always telling us where the most haunted parts of The Rocks were and what to look out for. Unfortunately, we did not see any ghosts on the tour, but it was still very interesting, even though we didn’t go inside any locked buildings.

FUN, NOT SPOOKY, GHOST TOUR - Definitely not a spooky "ghost" tour if that's what you're after but a nice way to explore the back streets of The Rocks and hear some interesting stories of events that are part of The Rocks colourful history. The archaeological dig of the homes demolished during the years of the plague was an unexpected addition and probably worth a revisit in the daylight, if time permitted. Our guide Georgia was very enthusiastic and quite theatrical in her delivery of the tour. She allowed plenty of time at the photo-opportunity spots and kept the walking to an appropriate pace taking into consideration all of the group. There were some stairs involved and plenty of cobblestoned streets, but overall the tour should be manageable for both old and young.

Disappointed - Started ok but got really weird when guide got out some sticks and started talking to dead people. We lost interest and left tour early.
