Weird Sydney Ghost
and History Tour Overview:
"Sexy,
sleazy, fun and factual" - Lonely Planet.
Under the
cover of darkness, we’ll show you a bizarre and fascinating side of
Sydney you never knew existed, in the comfort of one of our beautiful
Cadillac hearses. This is the history they don’t put in the text books.
This is the Sydney they don’t put in the guide books. And this is the
tour that shines the spotlight onto the tantalising skeletons in
Sydney’s closet.
Sydney is a
city that began as a poorly planned solution to Britain’s overcrowded
prisons and it was only by good luck it survived its formative years.
Now it has grown into the best place in the world to live – and the
world’s most desired tourist destination. But what a past our city has!
Exciting and extraordinary, ghastly and ghostly, uplifting and
downtrodden.
Come with
Destiny Tours Sydney to discover this undiscovered side of Sydney in a
fun filled tour experience you’ll never forget. Our informative and
entertaining commentary will tell you about the famous and infamous who
shaped the history of Sydney, and the scandals and secrets that have
spiced our lives since the very first days of European settlement.
Enjoy the
attention as you are transported (vertically) in one of our beautiful
haunted hearses.
So come and
join us on Sydney's most unusual tour, and your first ride in a hearse
won’t be your last! Wearing of
fancy dress (a
dead celebrity perhaps?)
or just plain black is encouraged, and don't forget your camera! [more]...
