Tour description
Sydney is one of the world's most spectacular harbour cities, where a glittering waterfront frames the iconic Opera House and the great steel arch of the Harbour Bridge. Beneath the postcard views lies a rich history that began with the first European settlement of Australia. On this walking tour a local guide reveals both the sights and the stories.
You will stroll around Circular Quay, wander the historic laneways of The Rocks where the colony began, and take in the famous views of the Opera House and bridge. Along the way you will hear about convicts, immigrants and the Aboriginal heritage of the harbour. Stunning and vibrant, Sydney is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
