Join us for a haunting look at Sydney’s dark side in the historic Rocks precinct. With plenty of macabre stories and ghostly apparitions, we’re sure to have you jumping out of your skin and sleeping with the lights on after you’ve been on this ghost tour!
On your ghost tour of historic Sydney, you can expect to hear stories of murder, suicide, hangings, hauntings! These ghostly tales will be told whilst you are taken on a lantern-lit, two hour walking tour around The Rocks area - the birthplace of Australia. Walk along cobblestone lanes and alleyways into the hidden part of The Rocks and discover how a haunted past has created the spirits that still linger here today!
Your ghost host will enthral you with the horrific story of the mutilated body and the gruesome tales of The Rocks ‘Dead House’. Hear the tales of the ghosts who haunt the Opera House and the ghost of ‘George’ who stakes his place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Enjoy the scenery whilst you search for the ghost of the cabin boy and discover why Mrs Greenfield was chased by her knife wielding husband. You’ll also visit a haunted house site built in 1822 where the apparition of Amelia still lingers.
Don’t forget your camera - you might even catch a ghostly apparition on film!

We had a wonderful night, Rowan our Ghost guide was an exceptional host and made the whole experience one to remember.
-
Our host was James and he was veryfriendly, knowledgeable and told dramatic, interesting, true stories of The Rocks area.
-
We had a great time. Our 'ghost host' was very professional. Thoroughly enjoyable!
-
James was a good host, and the locations we stopped at and the stories were all very interesting.
-
Great night on the Ghost Tour. Would love to do the South Side tour next time I am in Sydney.
-
I thought the Ghost Tour of The Rocks was very entertaining. Unfortunately we didn't see any ghosts, but our Ghost Host Lachlan was wonderful. The stories he told were excellent and he was a great tour guide.
-
It was amazing!
-
It was a wonderful experience. The guide (Ghost Host Mark) was knowledgable and engaging. The organisation was well run. The walk itself was fascinating and inroduced us to parts of the Rocks that we never really knew were there. It was an invorating walk without being too much exertion. Lots of fun.
-
Tour Guide (Gary) was very knowledgeable. Had a great night but at the end of tour was left to find your own way back to the starting point. Not good for people who reside outside the City area.
-
Very positive. Great experience!
-
It was a good healthy fun experience
-
Great fun for everyone, the experience ghost hosts made it interesting
-
Very enjoyable and informative tour thank you
-
Our Guide was fantastic.
-
Loved hearing some history (unknown to me) about the Rocks area. James was an excellent story teller.
-
Very informative and interesting for myself as a person who has lived in Sydney all of my life and has never experienced this side of our cities history.
-
The tour was very informative as to what really went on in the early days of Sydney...the host was excellent and made sure we were all entertained. I also liked the way that he got us involved in the whole thing as well...that was great
-
The historical stories were interesting and interactive, no one had any experiences but the tour guide was great and very knowledgeable and theatrical!
-
Jason was excellent; full of drama which made the night's atmosphere. Did the Melbourne Jail experience and thought the clanging of the chains and doors slamming added to the overall "theatre" of the visit. I would add a few of those types of innocent noises to boost the night's drama. Getting into all those off limits to the public areas was fascinating
-
My wife and i both really enjoyed the Rocks Ghost Tour we went on last Sunday night. Our tour guide Gary did a great job building the atmosphere for the stories (even though this would be a tough job with all the distractions around the Rocks!) We would both recommend the tour to any of our friends and will definitely be going on the South Rocks Ghost Tour soon.
-
We had a Great time, fun host
-
Very interesting to walk around parts of the Rocks that I have never been in before. A few more props to set the scene would assist in making it a bit scary......
-
Great Tour Guide. I believe his name was Rowan, great story teller and very interactive. Gave breath to many areas of sydney that previously had gone unnoticed. Interesting look into the past.
-
Great history information.
-
Very tiring with all the steps but what else can you do. The history was extremely interesting as was some of the back streets and old buildings.
-
I wish it was more scary, didn't see any ghosts! I would of like to have gone into more places, the history was really good.
-
Great host !
-
Had a great time will do another ghost tour again loved learning the the dark history of the rocks and mark our tour guide made the night fun.
-
We had a great time, Mark our tour guide was great would definitely do another tour .
-
What a fun and unique experience! this tour really blended the history of early sydney with the chilling atmosphere of the tour. We will definately do another one
-
Excellent guides who make the tour.
-
It was fun and educational even in the pouring rain. The host tour guide was great we will be booking for the part 2 experience.
-
The guide's in depth conveyance of the stories held my attention.
-
The whole process of me receiving a gift voucher for my birthday and then exchanging buying an experience for 8 of us was very easy. I will certainly use RedBalloon again. As for the Ghost Tour - we didn't see any ghosts, however had a really fun night and Mark looked after us and made the tour very enjoyable despite the rain that decided to fall just for the length of our tour!
-
The ghost tour was more of a comical experience rather than thrilling.
-
The guide (Ivan) was great. His information probably could have been a bit more extensive historically, but given the broad range of people attending, was good enough to keep everyone interested. Loved the fact that there was opportunity for participation by those attending and the small costume accessories were quite funny. We enjoyed the night, even though there was some drizzly rain for an hour or so.
-
Our tour guide Ivan was well spoken, informative and made the experience worthwhile. We loved it.
-
Ghost Guide Lachlan was absolutely great as a guide - very informative, very theatrical and overall great evening had by us - especially for my dad who's birthday it was and who is not one for audience participation, was great to see him get into character as Mr Greenfield and he can't stop talking about the sites we visited. Thank you for a wonderfully interesting tour!
-
We had a great time with the guide Ghostwalker James. Saw a part of Sydney that is not often talked about. Very entertaining.
