Easy walking, great stories. - The tour is 100% worth it. My guide was an incredible story teller, he even tried to nail a French accent during one story. He laughed at himself when it didn’t totally hit.

Great history and great fun! - So glad this Tour had been suggested to us, really enjoyed Lachlan’s impressive historical knowledge and access to underground places you wouldn’t otherwise get into or know anything about! Definitely recommend this Tour - was lots of fun and beautiful photo opportunity of the city lights at one of the stops too.

Entertaining and spooky - Fantastic tour of The Rocks last night. I didn't know there was so much marcarbe history to Sydney. Our guide was a natural story teller and had the hair on the back of my neck standing up more than once. We loved the ghost stories from The old pub The Hero of Waterloo at the end. Even stayed after to have a drink a see if we could find the ghost that haunts it!

Very entertaining tour! - Such an entertaining experience. Our 'Ghost Host' Lachlan was very knowledgeable about local history with specific details. He entertained us all with the delivery of some riveting stories of murder, mayhem, misfortune, and adventures from the early inhabitants of the Rocks district.
We walked a lot around various sites where Lachlan gave us historical information on the sites, buildings, and people who lived there. I couldn't imagine a more entertaining way to do a live tour of the district.
We didn't see any ghosts, nor did any appear in photos, however it was a great experience! Highly recommend!!

good but - the experience was good, but miss a bit of the talk due to noise, might be a good idea to give people headsets so they can hear the talk

Informative Story Telling through the streets of Sydney! - The tour went for around 2 hours starting at the Cadman’s Cottage located at The Rocks. Our guide shared several stories of each location, which were interesting and sharing person photos of visions of spirits that had been observed on previous tours. It was a great way to end my trip learning history of these old buildings and stopping for a quick drink at the most Haunted Pub in Australia after the tour had finished. The Hero of Waterloo which was part of the tour. Beautiful old building. I didn’t witness anything myself, but it was noisy so not sure if this made a difference. Had a great time.

2 hours long. Lots of... - 2 hours long. Lots of going up and down stairs. The guide knew his Sydney history and was very personable. He helped my wife across some rough spots in the street. . The “ghost” part of the tour was not very believable. We did see a rat and some cockroaches which wasn’t a surprise since the tour was a nighttime one. The tour ends at a bar where you are invited, but not pushed, to have a drink.

My dreadful experience - Do not repeat do not go on this ghost tour pick another .total waste of time and money, thought I was 10 years old sitting around a camp fire telling ghost stories. Tour finished at some pub in the rocks and we were left to find our own way back. Thank God I was with family and they had a smart phone if I was on my own I would have been terrified asked bar tender to call a taxi and was told the taxis wouldn't go there they were black listed.
Pick another tour or you will regret it.
