NEW! The Golden Mile Walking Tour

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -1000

Take a walk on Sydney's wild side... A guided walking tour inspired by the new TV series, Underbelly: The Golden Mile, is taking fans and tourists on a journey through Sydney's colourful and corrupt past.

The Golden Mile Walking Tour, from veteran Kings Cross tour providers Bounce Walking Tours, explores the locations and settings for some of Sydney's most notorious criminal scandals featured in the new TV series, with expert commentary and a splash of contemporary tales of the Cross. The tour also features a cameo appearance from a local actor - but Bounce Walking Tours won't release the details of that, in fear of ruining the surprise for their walkers.

Starting at the Coke sign at 6pm daily plus 2pm on weekends, and finishing with a free drink at the Sugarmill Hotel, the 1.5 hour walk is the only tour of its kind in Australia.

It is an after-work or weekend experience with a difference, and for many domestic tourists, the tour is their only chance to delve into the infamous ways of Kings Cross with local knowledge at hand.

"Kings Cross is a pretty crazy place," says Rebecca Giglia, owner of Bounce Walking Tours. "But if you don't have a guide to tell you the tales and point out the locations, you can be left wandering the strip wondering where the action is. That's why we launched this tour - to have a bit of fun and help our fellow drama-enthusiasts appreciate their time in Kings Cross."

Bounce Walking Tours has been operating daily walking tours of Kings Cross since November 2006 and also operates Kings Cross based group and corporate activities.

Fodor's Travel Guides are the latest well-respected world guide to recommend a Bounce Walking Tour.

Last year our Sydney Sights Walking Tour was featured and recommended in the Frommer's Travel Guide for the first time - one of the most respected travel guides for US travellers. Here's what they said:

"Exploring all of the major sights and icons around the harbour is the focus of a new walking tour with Bounce Tours. Joining a wave of new and unique tours to showcase Sydney's diverse personality, the Sydney Sights Walking Tour is ideal for first-time visitors seeking to explore the city by foot. ..."

This year world travel guide Fodor's has recommended our Kings Cross Crimes & Passions Walking Tour in its Travel Tips section. In their own words:

Kings Cross has been the haunt of bohemians, criminals, and ladies of the evening for many decades. The Crimes and Passion walking tour, run by Bounce Walking Tours, takes you alongside streets where notorious villains plied their trade. Tours depart from Circular Quay at 5 PM and cost A$40. The 2½-hour tour includes a drink in a local bar.

Book either of these tours online here to try them for yourself.

Can't wait to book another one!
