We will soon be visiting Sydney for a few days (I haven't been there for over a decade). I've been looking for ideas of things to do. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to offer them. Here are some tours I've been looking into:

The Weird Sydney Ghost and History Tour

Ghosts, history, crime scenes, sites of suicide, suffering, scandal, sex, drugs and rock n roll, we cover it all, relinquishing every dirty detail with an informative and entertaining commentary. So come and join us on Sydney's most unusual and fun filled tour experience, 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!

The Weird Sydney Ghost and History tour includes an adults-only tour of a bondage parlour, a souvenir DVD of the hearses, facts sheets and a complimentary drink in the cellars of a haunted hotel.

Ghost Tour of Historic Sydney

On your ghost tour of historic Sydney, you can expect to hear stories of murder, suicide, hangings, hauntings! These ghostly tales will be told whilst you are taken on a lantern-lit, two hour walking tour around The Rocks area - the birthplace of Australia. Walk along cobblestone lanes and alleyways into the hidden part of The Rocks and discover how a haunted past has created the spirits that still linger here today!

Your ghost host will enthral you with the horrific story of the mutilated body and the gruesome tales of The Rocks 'Dead House'. Hear the tales of the ghosts who haunt the Opera House and the ghost of 'George' who stakes his place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Enjoy the scenery whilst you search for the ghost of the cabin boy and discover why Mrs Greenfield was chased by her knife wielding husband. You'll also visit a haunted house site built in 1822 where the apparition of Amelia still lingers.

Crimes & Passions (Kings Cross)

Kings Cross is traditionally the home of Sydney's artistic, bohemian, criminal, passionate and deviant lifestyles. From sophisticated society beginnings, the area has transformed itself again and again to become the lively, vibrant and controversial hotspot it is today.

This tour guides you through Kings Cross and its speckled history of fame, fortunes, murders, drug-obsessions, mysteries, crimes & romances. Stand on the site of one of Sydney's greatest unsolved mysteries, hear of the sly grog and razor gang days, visit the heart of old Sydney bohemia... and more. Don't miss this rare opportunity for a taste of Sydney's colourful underbelly!

And there's a couple more here.
