Did Elliot's tour on Sunday, it was fabulous. He is super interesting and his passion was palpable. We will definitely do another tour with him. Thanks Elliot for your generosity of knowledge and time.

You know the enthusiasm that the tour operator has when he goes half an hour beyond his tour end time and has a beer with you at the end

A great tour. Elliott was very passionate aboutSurry Hills and it’s history and architecture. His presentation was easy to hear as he projected his voice ver well. His knowledge of the area is extensive.

What a wonderful idea this is! I went on the tour with Elliot today and it was fantastic! Elliot is a very captivating storyteller and also super knowledgeable on Sydney's crime history. The whole tour flew by and I was sad when it was over. It was like experiencing a living history book, complete with standing in the actual locations. I will book the Darlinghurst one next! Definitely go on this tour, you won't regret it!
P.s. Elliot, please do more tours!

I undertook this tour today and can highly recommend it. The tour guide has an extensive knowledge of the crimes he describes and a passion for the local history of Surry Hills. I am a Sydney local but he took me into nooks and crannies that I didn't know existed. I'm glad he did! Do this tour.

We enjoyed the Surry Hills tour so much we did the Darlinghurst tour today. What a beautiful sunny walk with Elliot who is a great story teller & so passionate about Sydney history. 10/10 for both tours.

Really enjoyed this walking tour. Elliott was an engaging and knowledgeable host. It was great to go to areas we wouldn’t have gone to on our own, as well as to hear the relevant history and stories . We will definitely attend the Surry Hills tour in future, based on our experience with this one. Thanks so much Elliott!

Murders Most Foul Surry Hills tour with guide Elliot was most captivating. I was thoroughly engaged the whole tour with the enthralling commentary Elliot provided. My favourite tale from the tour was the suspicious cold case murder of Francis Charles Kennedy, and the inconsistent witness reports and dealings from Cocaine Queen May Smith.
I highly recommended this tour for anyone with an interest in true crime, Australia's past, or to simply explore the city of Sydney from a new perspective. It definitely left me wanting to know more.
