School Excursion Ghost Tours

School Group Tour in Sydney

Catering to both high school and primary school students, The Rocks Ghost Tours is an excellent way of inspiring interest in early European settlement, with locally inherited stories as we take a walking tour through the myriad laneways and old sandstone architecture – some areas of which are off limits to the general public.

For teachers and principals looking for excursion ideas for primary school students in Sydney, The Rocks Ghost Tours combine early European history with children’s fascination with harmless spookiness designed for their age group. Our tours can be booked for any part of the day or evening, however for interstate or country NSW schools who are staying in The Rocks or CBD, an evening ghost tour will definitely be something to write home about!

For high school students our full school group tours is also available for 20-150 students and accompanying teachers & adults.

In both versions of the tour, students will journey from this world to the early convict settlement of The Rocks. On the ghost tour, they will connect with Australian history through eerie folklore, ghostly tales and haunted sites as your guide shows you along the cobblestone lanes and old alleys of The Rocks. Students will hear tales of the past and stories where they can experience the atmosphere of being guided through Australia’s most historic haunted village. This really is a fantastic educational field trips for all school students.
