Discover the extraordinary history of The Rocks district in Sydney. Roam around the alleyways and see heritage buildings that make The Rocks one of Sydney's most famous and impressive districts. It will not be a boring history class, but a knowledgeable local guide will share stories from the neighborhood's colorful past.

Meet your guide and the rest of your tour group of 12 people or less at Circular Quay. The expert guide will bring your group through backstreets and alleyways to show you important locations from Sydney's history. Listen about the convicts who came to this area, cutting through the sandstone cliffs to build homes and roads in the fledgling colony. Turn back time as you enter a historic pub for a craft beer that has been in operation since the early 1800s. Continue your journey in the past as you reach an extensive archaeological site with remnants dating back to the 1790s. Wear comfortable walking shoes since you will be walking about 1.5 miles at a leisurely pace in 2.5 hours.
