I had the absolute pleasure of doing a tour with Ryan, and it was one of the highlights of my time in Sydney. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging (and hilarious with his puns!), and the walking tour took me to some fascinating locations with rich and intriguing history. The true crime stories were especially captivating and brought each place to life. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney, an absolute must-do for lovers of true crime!!!
! I had an incredible experience on the Sydney Crime Tour with Caitlin as our guide. Her storytelling skills, deep historical knowledge, and engaging narration brought the dark and fascinating history of Sydney to life. She made every detail captivating, weaving together true crime stories with the city’s past in a way that kept us hooked from start to finish. Caitlin’s passion for history and her ability to create a thrilling yet informative atmosphere made the tour truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Sydney’s criminal past—it’s both chilling and enlightening! Thank you, Caitlin, for an amazing and immersive experience!
Presenter is great. Very detailed and interesting stories about Sydney's dark past! Also loved his puns. The walk itself takes you through the middle of sydney CBD with beautiful views of the harbour bridge, old buildings and heritage sites.
We joined the Dark Stories True Crime Tours Sydney and were guided by an Irish gentleman, possibly named Brian. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and presented the material with confidence. His grasp of the subject matter was evident, and his delivery added value to the experience. However, the tour itself wasn’t quite what we fully expected. We anticipated more stories and a broader range of content. While the guide did a good job with the material provided, the overall scope felt somewhat limited. All in all, it wasn’t the best tour we’ve attended, but it was okay. The highlight was definitely the guide’s knowledge and presentation skills, though the experience could be improved with more variety and depth in storytelling.
The tour guide was very dedicated and had a great sense of humor. We walked through the main streets, small alleys, and parks at night, and she talked about past cases, which created a special atmosphere. The lamp she carried also helped to create the ambiance. One particularly interesting story was about a bar that used to transport drunk people through underground tunnels to the pier to be sold as slaves – quite fascinating. Highly recommended.
Caitlin was great. we had a fun time on the tour.
The guide was very informative and was able to make the walking fun.
