Wonderful experience. - Definitely worth doing. Our guide was perfect. It's not just for fans of ghosts etc, our guide told us all about the history and that's exactly what I wanted.

Awesome experience a must see when in Adelaide - Excellent tour guides that share real life stories from the gaol. They showed us photos of the actual people from the gaol and their backgrounds. We explored different areas of the gaol and got to explore the paranormal activities with the different tools to connect with the ghosts. I used the copper rods and was able to connect with ghosts from different locations and it was an experience. One of my photos even includes a face of a man. Highly recommend the tour and not only do you hear about background of the gaol you also get to explore the paranormal which was a first for me.

What a great night for kids and adults, plenty of fun and laughter while learning about history - A fantastic part of South Australian history, with a fantastic tour guide that the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Plenty of fun and laughter with a lot to learn, and seeing the beautiful roses in full bloom too so beautiful, Thankyou so very much Jo for a great tour of the brilliant Adelaide Gaol.

Great fun! - This was super fun and interesting. Lots of interesting history and ghost detecting equipment was fun to use. The somewhat large group both added to the fun at times and also detracted by making it difficult to hear the guide. Guides were very personable and informative.

Disappointing - Was very disappointing we were so excited to be there and to have a cell lockdown but as soon as we started to get active it was time to get out 10 minutes in lockdown was no where near long enough the gruop was way to big and the guides didn't even no the facts of the gaol or how many ppl where hanged in there my brother and I were drown to go upstairs but we were not allowed it was locked up so all in all was a very disappointing experience
