Experience the unique history that is The Rocks, the birthplace of Sydney and modern day Australia. With the magnificent and iconic Sydney Harbour as the backdrop, this whimsical and at times gritty 90 minute guided tour will take you through the lanes and cobblestoned paths of The Rocks. Be taken back in time to the convict days of Sydney’s first settlement, through to the dark underbelly of the street gangs of the late 19th century. Learn of the modern day fight to save The Rocks from the destruction of property developers in the 1970s. Be entertained by stories of the many larrikins who lived in the area, and whose character is ingrained in the modern day Rocks.

This walking tour is conveniently located close to Sydney’s main hotels, restaurants and transport. After the tour you may wish to catch a ferry to view Sydney’s breathtaking harbour, or perhaps relax and have a quiet beverage or two at one of the many historic pubs scattered around The Rocks area.
