Caitlin is an amazing storyteller & evening tour was great! - We elected to do the evening tour since the topic was true crime! We started at the Harbor Bridge, went down a number of laneways and ended near Circular Quay. Caitlin provided some great true crime stories, and while the walk was hilly with a number of stairs, she did a fine job of proving safety info along the walk. And, she did a great job of projecting her voice in a group of 16-20. Great way to see the sights in The Rock area!

Interesting and fun tour of rocks with murderous tales thrown in! - Caitlin was fun and knowledgable. The history of plague, murder, press gangs and executions from early colonisation to modern times was told brilliantly. We loved walking round streets we would not have otherwise have done and listening to the tales. An evening well spent! Thanks again Caitlin!
