What to expect
You'll move at a steady pace through The Rocks for 90 minutes, starting as daylight fades. Your guide will stop at key locations—old pubs, heritage buildings, sites of historical tragedy—and explain the stories behind them. The focus is on historical context rather than jump-scares; expect a conversational tone that treats the supernatural aspect seriously whilst grounding it in real events. The walk covers uneven cobblestones and narrow lanes, so good footwear matters. Bring a torch if you have one.
Good to know

Not suitable for those with heart conditions or significant mobility issues. Minimum age 8. No food, drinks or tips included. Dress for evening temperature—Sydney evenings can cool quickly.
