Ripper night in Rocky - Have water and reasonable walking shoes, for a warm Rocky evening. I wish I’d remembered to take more photos.

Interesting into some of Rocky’s darker secrets! - Great, informative tour. Phil was super enthusiastic and told some really interesting stories. Well worth doing for a bit of inside info on Rocky!!

History seekers - Phil was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about history. He was very respectful of his surroundings and to all the people on the tour, his voice was clear and precise, showing photographs of some of the people who were on the wrong side of the law. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and came away reflecting on the history of Rockhampton. Totally recommend

A Great Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. So interesting. Phil is great at relaying the stories from the past. Seeing the old heritage listed buildings and back lanes of Rockhampton was also a bonus.

Thrilling - Enjoyed our tour tonight. Phil was a fantastic guide with his history and story telling. The Ghost, Murder and Jack the Ripper Night Walk was entertaining and it was great to get a different perspective of the town and hear some of Rockhampton’s history. Thanks :)

Seriously, do it. So good. - Awesome! Phil is such a brilliant guide and his curiosity, meticulous research and nose for a great story make for a sensational tour. Beforehand I thought the Jack the Ripper thing was a gimmick… it’s not! Have done his graveyard tour too, definitely a must do.

Happy/Disappointed - My son enjoyed the history side of it, but I’m afraid that I’m more of a ghost fan. I was disappointed that most of it was just history.
