Easy to book the Crime tour which was a fascinating experience our guide Alex had so many interesting stories to tell. City watchouse tour at the end topped it off. Value for money.
-
Great value for money on the crime tour and our guide Alex was fantastic, very informative and knew lots about the Melbourne crime scene. At the end of the tour the visit to the city watchouse was fascinating, I would recommend this tour to others who are interested in learning more about melbourne's past crime history.

The whole tour was fabulous and the tour driver/guide bab bad leeroy borwn was fabulous and very informative and helpful and very nice too! It was very interesting - the whole 5 of us enjoyed it even my 15 year old daughter. I would highly recommend it - Leeroy had obviously done his research and was more than willing to answer any questions and he was funny too. A great day!

I was going to contact you today. The experience was fabulous and we loved the tour guide/driver - he was very informative and obviously had done a lot of research and very funny too! He was eager and answered our questions and very nice too! Plus he provided cold drinks for us which was good. Very interesting and all five of us enjoyed it - even my 15 year old daughter. Highly recommend it and I thinik Leroy should get a raise (he didnt ask me to say that!)
-
I really had a good time, the head of the tour was very neutral in his opinions of what happened at different crime scenes, which made it more appealing to me.

I had a very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks.

The tour in general was excellant, our driver Alex was not only informative but also very entertaining. It was easy to see that he is passionate about his job. The social club at my place of employment was thinking of going on the Tour and after my feed back to them they are definitely going to book. Once again I had a very enjoyable day.

My family and I had a great day and our tour guide (dave) was energetic, engaging and very knowledgable about Melbourne's crimes, I do believe however that, 4 hours was quite a long time and if you were to continue with these hours for there to be at least a 30 min lunch break or warning to bring your own lunch, as we were starving by the end of it, especially on a 12-4pm tour.

All in all we enjoyed ourselves and would suggest this tour to family and friends.

We were very impressed by the tour guide, Alex. He was very informed and interesting
-
The morning was great. The tour guide was well informed and l could tell he enjoys taking the tour. Going to each crime scene was cool. Some actually felt eerie, especially Walsh Street.My husband didn't want to go and he enjoyed it more than he expected. High recommend the tour for those who have a curiosity for Melbourne crimes.
-
Tour guide knew his stuff. For everyone who has an interest in all crimes that have happened in and around the CBD, this is a tour l highly recommend. To be taken to the site of each crime gave it an eerie feel, especially "the lady in the boot" the "Walsh Strreet killings" "Hoodle Street - Julian Knight". Totally awesome.. loved it. It would be great if you could do a separate tour on the ganglang killings....Jenni

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. I learnt so much from Alex. He maintained commentary for almost 4 hours. The only reason I didn't ask questions is because he covered all areas in his presentation. Note to self: take along some lunch next time.

The tour guide had an exceptional body of knowledge and insight into the crime process as he worked in the morgue in addition to being the tour host. He was exceptional!
-
Everything ran smoothly, organizers knew booking ahead so no hassles with that!
-
I had a great day, was good to put the underbelly series to a "face." if you loved the underbelly series you will love the crime tour.
-
- Probably should be for over 18's only - Perhaps a tv at the front of the bus for photos to be shown - Excellent information given about all the sites - Alex was easy to understand and very easy going - One of the best tours I have been on!
-
Alex, our tour guide was sensational. Great personality and his knowledge of Melbourne and its history (even crime unrelated) was fantastic.
