What to Expect

There is no better way to get up close and personal with the living history and heritage of Sydney than on foot guided by a friendly and enthusiastic guide. Join Sydney's most experienced tour guides on a 1 hr 30 min leisurely walk around Sydney's historic The Rocks district.

 

Hear the story of Sydney from the beginning as you stroll along the shoreline of sparkling Sydney Harbour with views of the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past Campbell's Cove and Cadman's Cottage.

 

Wander down hidden alleyways, into shady courtyards, along cobbled lanes, discover the nooks and crannies, getting to know the true and intriguing history and heritage of Australia's first British settlement.

 

Be amazed by stories of the First Fleet 1788, Nurses Walk, the Rum Rebellion 1808, Suez Canal, the Argyle Cut 1840, the plague 1900, the Sydney Harbour Bridge 1920's, the diabolical 1970's plan to demolish The Rocks and the green bans that saved it. And, of course, hear of the characters and rogues who called it home.

 

Today, The Rocks is renowned for having the oldest streets in Sydney, which are dotted with beautifully restored nineteenth-century buildings.

 

Where we Visit:

  • Campbell's Cove 
  • Cadman's Cottage
  • Nurses Walk
  • The Argyle Cut
  • Suez Canal
  • Sydney Harbour
