Great experience - Great experience! A bit of history mixed with ghostly activity. Need to be careful of directions getting to the Gaol with the main road being blocked.

A ghostly night at the Adelaide Gaol - This tour exceeded my expectations. Barry, Karen and Kerrie are very passionate and dedicated to keep the history of the Adelaide Gaol front and centre for all. It was very informative and great fun, as well as having a few 'ghostly actions' to make the night fantastic. I am going again with family. Unfortunately i only have one photo that turned out ok.

Wonderful experience. - Definitely worth doing. Our guide was perfect. It's not just for fans of ghosts etc, our guide told us all about the history and that's exactly what I wanted.

Awesome experience a must see when in Adelaide - Excellent tour guides that share real life stories from the gaol. They showed us photos of the actual people from the gaol and their backgrounds. We explored different areas of the gaol and got to explore the paranormal activities with the different tools to connect with the ghosts. I used the copper rods and was able to connect with ghosts from different locations and it was an experience. One of my photos even includes a face of a man. Highly recommend the tour and not only do you hear about background of the gaol you also get to explore the paranormal which was a first for me.

Left hanging - I had such high hopes for this tour and unfortunately left disappointed. Great concept, fascinating stories but just cut short of the mark. These stories should be ready to go with no pause to think. Whilst the tour guides knew about the stories they didn’t show passion when telling them. Towards the end of the tour the guides seem to have somewhere else they needed to be , which was a disappointing end

Ok at best - Perhaps expected too much but having done a few similar tours it felt underwhelming. So much more could be made of the place but maybe due to it being evening there really wasn't much to see.

Disappointing - Was very disappointing we were so excited to be there and to have a cell lockdown but as soon as we started to get active it was time to get out 10 minutes in lockdown was no where near long enough the gruop was way to big and the guides didn't even no the facts of the gaol or how many ppl where hanged in there my brother and I were drown to go upstairs but we were not allowed it was locked up so all in all was a very disappointing experience
