Thoroughly enjoyed this tour! A gentle stroll around the Rocks area, delving into the history of some of the crime and tragedy stories that helped shape Sydney. It was very interesting to learn about this side of Sydney’s history as it hadn’t been touched upon on the other tours we have done. The tour also included a stop for some lovely scenic views of the harbour Bridge lit up in the dark. FYI the group meets on the benches opposite the corner where the the meeting point is. I was mildly terrified approaching the meeting point as it was dark and all I could see was a group of people loitering under a tree and I thought it was a gang. The guide will wave to you if you look confused about where to meet.
