Did this with my colleagues and it was a fun time!
As Sydney locals, this was a really fun experience. It was an interesting history lesson with some darker elements that definitely added to an eerie atmosphere. However, our tour guide was engaging and made sure everyone was safe as we walked throughout The Rocks. No ghost encounters this time but still enjoyed the evening.
Overall was really good
Overall was really good, I would say it’s more of a history tour rather than a ghost tour which was still really great. There was no opium den experience which is listed on the ad which was unfortunate. The guide Kim was super friendly and bubbly,
