The oldest part of Sydney’s settlement, the Rocks was inhabited by the first fleet of convicts arriving in Sydney Cove in 1788, impacting forever the way of life of the local indigenous people and setting the foundations for what would become an intriguing and cosmopolitan city.
On this 90 minute walking tour, the personal and living history of Sydney comes alive, with colourful stories of the area’s past animated by the lively and personable guides.
Stories unfold with many rich accounts of the antics of sailors, larrikins and rogues, as you wander through a backdrop of original storehouses, public and working class cottages that can still be seen today.
A fantastic introduction to one of Sydney’s most iconic districts is also a perfect way to stretch your legs and become oriented after a long flight from overseas.
I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.
