Crime and Passion Kings Cross

It was great weather and our guide, Lucy, was friendly and informative. As new residents of the area we were keen to learn about our neighbourhood and really enjoyed all the stories behind some of the famous and not so famous places in the Cross. It was a tour of discovery - gorgeous views, lovely architecture and dark tales. We finished at a pub near the Coke sign with a complimentary drink. It was great! Thanks Lucy.

Kings Cross walking tour

Taken on Sunday evening with a group size of 7, this was an interesting and entertaining couple of hours that gave us a taste of the recent history of Kings Cross. Well worth the effort.

Informative and fun

We had kathryn as our guide and she was able to make the information and stories relevant to what we liked. We learnt heaps about the cross on our tour and we loved all the stories told, it even got me passionate (and I did the tour just for my husband). I would highly recommend these tours and the guides every time.

Hi Isabella Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Busy schedules sometimes get in the way. This did not deter you. Politics is part of the history of the Kings Cross area. It is intertwined with the perceived corruption of the beautiful Potts Point peninsula. Thank you again. And maybe we will see you again on an Urban Adventure. JohnP Manager
