Overview of your Sydney tour:

Let's share Sydney’s iconic landmarks, stunning harbour, and rich history. I was born and raised here and have spent my life exploring every part of this amazing city. By studying archaeology and history at university, I have plenty of great stories to share. With years of guiding experience in Australia and overseas, I know how to make tours fun, engaging, and full of local insight. Join me and see Sydney through the eyes of a true local who loves every bit of it. Your Sydney tour begins with breathtaking views over the harbour, followed by a walk through The Rocks, Sydney’s historic convict settlement. We head up Macquarie Street to uncover colonial history & stories. Afterwards, we visit Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair for stunning views & stroll through the beautiful Botanic Gardens, to visit the iconic Opera House. We will end at Circular Quay, where you can find lunch, coffee, drinks and shopping or return you to your ship.
