Where to Eat Before the Dark Side of Launceston Tour
Where to Eat Before the Dark Side of Launceston Tour
If you’re joining us for the Dark Side of Launceston tour, you’re in for a night of fascinating, gritty, and gruesome history – but let’s make sure you’re not running on an empty stomach!
Our tour kicks off at 7pm sharp, so you’ll want to plan ahead and allow plenty of time to order, eat, and settle your bill before heading to Civic Square for the start of the experience. Most restaurants will be happy to accommodate your timeline if you let them know you’re off on a walking tour – just give them a heads-up when booking!
A word of warning: Once the tour wraps up, food options are limited, so don’t assume you can grab something after. You’ll thank us later!
