Did a guided tour called 'Crimes of Passion' and went into the cells. It was very interesting to learn about some history. Very interested in returning to do some more guided tours. Good value for money.

Approximate cost: $33

Visited twice. Guided tour with ex-prisoner and automated walk through. Very interesting history to say the least. Humorously converted into a paintball facility at night. Definitely preferred the more realistic view from the ex-prisoner who explained what went on in detail (included Ivan Milat and others). Can also do night time and ghost tours. Use the online service for dates.

Approximate cost: $20+

I learnt so much on this tour. Definitely do the inmate tour. The guide is very informative and gives you all sorts of information that you just wouldn't have known otherwise. Great insight into what prison is really like.

I went on a tour about a year ago . It was a great experience you actually got to go into the cells and the tour guide was very informative about what it was like day to day . Lots of ghost stories were told . Would love to go back for a night time tour . They even offer sleep overs .

Ex inmate guided tour is what we did, and wow what an inside view you got. At first i was apprehensive about a criminal taking us on a tour but it was much more enjoyable then a slef guided tour would be. They give you the inside details of what it was like to live and exist inside the gaol. The goal has a haunted feel to it and feels alive with stories. We went as a couple within a group but you can also book your own group, go at night and they have loads of other activities throughout the year, even a beer festival inside the goal. Highly reccomend it not just for the history but a general inside of life as a criminal in those years.

Have been going to book for one of these since our recent trip to Dubbo, we had a bad experience trying to book into the Old Dubbo Gaol.

Good to hear it will be worth it!
