Melbourne True Crime Tour Reviews

Top Marks

We had a terrific night with the tour. Our guide was informative and clearly loved her role and the histories
of the stories she was telling. And it had just the right amount of theatrics backed by fact.

Tour Guide was Awesome!

The tour was great! Really interesting stories, great locations, friendly, attentive and engaging
guide, and overall a great evening and experience. 😊

Thoroughly Researched and Presented Making the Stories Come Alive

I’ve been a crime reporter for various UK newspapers for many years and worked at the Old Bailey
and High Court so I appreciate detailed knowledge. Our tour guide always had answers to
questions extending the stories and that was great, as she was not simply regurgitating a script.
