4Type in full address
Make sure you type the FULL address in uber to make sure you go to the right place. I went to the wrong place but Ryan was great in giving me location updates until I was able to join the group. Very informative tour with lots of names and dates and stories that you may not have heard. It happened to be a nice calm warm night, fantastic for a walk.
4Interesting and little known crime stories around The Rocks area
Ryan was entertaining,knew his facts and presented them well. I'd recommend this tour to friends. It was easy to find the meeting place and the flow was well planned and executed.
5Scary with a smile
Well, it's quite some months ago I did the Sydneys Crime Tour. But better late than never 😅 the tour was great, absolutely perfect. A perfect mix between scary stories but always as well giving you a smile on the face because some has been just tooo weird 😄 I would definitely do the tour again when I am back in Sydney.
5Must do your!
Sophie was a fantastic guide for our True Crime tour around The Rocks. She was engaging, knowledgeable and brought the history and stories to life without making it feel like a history lesson. A really interesting way to explore a different side of Sydney. Highly recommend the tour, and Sophie as a guide!
5Once upon a dark night in the Rocks
Ryan, our guide painted an amazing picture of life as it was in the Rocks and then brought its history to life with fascinating dark tales of crime and tragedy interspersed with Aussie humor. A highly enjoyable evening with some excellent tips for dining pre and post tour. A must do for any visitor.
5Great True Crime Tour
Really enjoyed the Dark Stories/True Crime in the Rocks tour. Our guide, Chloe, was great, and the walk isn’t difficult at all. The stories were pretty creepy. Definitely worth your time.

About Sydney
Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
Top-ranked sights in Sydney: Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour.
