Overview

Discover Sydney's unsurpassed beauty and remarkable history on this exciting free walking tour! Starting from the delightful harbour that has attracted people for millennia, we'll explore the historic Rocks district, admire the world-famous Opera House, stroll in the delightful Botanic Gardens, admire the colonial buildings of Macquarie Street, finally concluding at the magnificent Queen Victoria Building in the city centre. Along the way, we'll meet characters like the forger who became Sydney's first architect, the Jamaican soldier who started the first ferry service, and the cat who helped map Australia. Your guide Philip is a born-and-bred Sydneysider who has lived for many years overseas, giving him a unique perspective as both a local and an outsider. He presents the remarkable story of the city, blending historical facts with observations, opinions and a few jokes. Questions and discussions are most welcome!
