About this experience
In this private walking tour, we will explore the picturesque historic sites of The Rocks.
This area is the birthplace of modern Australia, and any tour of this city should start here.
The tour guide will run the tour exclusively for you or your group (up to 10 guests). This is a very intimate experience to make you really enjoy the rich history of the oldest neighbourhood in Australia.
We will reveal how Britain created a penal colony on the other side of the world and what the first convicts found when they first arrived. We will explore hidden cobblestone alleyways to unveil the harsh living conditions of this first settlement. We have tons of fun anecdotes to bring this historic district to life.
Sydney Harbour is the perfect background for this tour, and we will explore all the secrets behind the two major projects that have put Sydney on the map, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Sydney Opera House.
The starting time is 18:00. Please get in contact to organize a private tour at a different time (min 6 guests).
