Press Reviews

Our Sydney walking tours feature in newspapers, blogs and magazines across the world. Here's what some of our 'critics' have to say about our tours:

• "The fascinating Crimes & Passions Walking Tour gleefully retold grizzly tales like the 1920s feud between gangsters Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine, the day in 1954 when a Miss Australia entrant shot her boyfriend through the eye for having an affair, and the 1975 murder of journalist Juanita Nielsen. It revealed the stories behind the area's landmarks. I emerged from the tour feeling strangely fonder of the area." Sydney Morning Herald.
• "Sydney's Crimes & Passions Walking Tour proves some true stories are definitely stranger than fiction. The guided tour of Kings Cross reveals hidden gems historical, architectural and cultural. Oh, and plenty of scandal besides." Great Walks Magazine.
• "Just below the surface, behind a few doors in Sydney's infamous Kings Cross, are stories of life that would shock or enthrall every visitor. But to find these hidden treasures one must take a tour hosted by experts in the area. Bounce Tours has created a tour that exposes the reality of this colourful, bohemian, artistic yet sometimes tragic neighbourhood." Sun-Herald.
• "What better way to see this unique part of Sydney than on foot with a walk on the wild side?... The tour tells stories of love, murder, drugs and sex, but also included is the area's artistic and architectural past." Brisbane Times.
• "Bounce dished out more than enough 'dirt' to fascinate both visitor and Sydneysider alike. Some of the city's most infamous murders, court cases, mysterious disappearances, shootings and stabbings, even a minor riot, all took place within the Cross area and there are abundant "X marks the spot" locations." Sydney Morning Herald.
• "... there's much more to Kings Cross that even Sydneysiders don't know about and for visitors who are a little hesitant to venture into the area, a Bounce 'Crimes & Passions Walking Tour' is a great introduction... Knowledgable, bubbly guides take you near the sites of many fascinating gory events, important milestones, crimes and love stories and fill you in on the Kings Cross 'goss'." Get Up and Go Magazine.
• "...it is the first regular walking tour of the Cross and is both informative and entertaining. It's perfect for all ages and fitness levels." Daily Telegraph.
  
• "For all it's funky new bars, it'd be a crime not to take this walk on the wilder side of Kings Cross." Adelaide Advertiser.
• "Bounce Tours' Sydney Sights Walking Tour provides visitors and locals with an insight into the drama, beauty, history, secrets and lies behind Sydney." West Australian.
• "The tour takes in The Rocks, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, the Royal Botanic Gardens and other sights... It is the first tour in Sydney that provides walkers with an insight into each of the sights - not just The Rocks - on a regular basis.... Walking through Sydney's sights and hidden treasures is one of the best ways to experience the rich history, culture and atmosphere." Daily Telegraph.
• "The Sydney Sights Walking Tour is ideal for first-time visitors seeking to explore the city by foot." Sydney Uncovered.
