Overview

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).

Meeting points

The tour meeting point is at the Customs House's main gate. Address: 31 Alfred St, Sydney. This historic building is located in Circular Quay, a transport hub with public train, bus, tram and ferry connections.

Best tour we did in Sydney! Oscar is awesome! We did another walking tour of the city and this was far better. Must do tour even if you do others.

This is a Must Do in Sydney!

Published on Mar, 2024

This rating needs six stars, like the Australian flag (and you find out why there are six stars on it in the tour!). Oscar was an amazing guide. He packed over 200 years of history in two hours while getting to see some terrific sights. We were able to ask plenty of questions, and saw parts of The Rocks that we would never have seen otherwise. He really brought the history of the area to life. Please take his instructions seriously about comfy shoes… it is on historical streets and uphill. Must do!
