This tour was originally the one I was most hesistsant about booking while in Australia. I thought, how interesting could a true crime tour be? But it DID NOT disappoint. This tour was fun, interesting and our guide Sydney, I believe was her name, had provided such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend booking this if you are looking for a fun night activity to do, even solo while in town! Thank you again for the great night!
