Very interesting and informative!
Loved using the equipment while inside the cells.
Would love if torches were provided though.

Interesting tour but felt rushed through. Particularly in museum section, only got to view half. Tour was booked for 2 hours but completed in 1hour and 40 mins.

The guide and her assistant were both great! They were super friendly and knowledgeable about the jail.
I had the best time. I took the dowsing rods for the ghost hunting part and it was crazy. The spirit was actually responding and I am skeptical guy, I would find an explanation for the movement of the rods if I could.
I didn’t connect the dots there BUT the spirit I was talking to was female and was falsely accused of something. That screams elizabeth woolcock to me. 10/10 tour and the guides. Would definitely recommend anyone coming or staying in Adelaide to do the tour. You can even enjoy if you go alone like I did!
