Overview of your Sydney tour:

When I first came to Sydney, I, like many visitors, thought there wasn’t much history here. Compared to Europe, where buildings date back centuries, Australia seemed young. But I quickly realised how wrong I was. Sydney’s history is fascinating, from the world’s longest continuous human civilisation—dating back over 60,000 years—to the wild stories of colonisation, convicts, and rebellion. The Rum Rebellion, the absurd politics of early governors, and the dramatic construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge all tell a story of resilience, innovation, and transformation. In just 250 years, Sydney has grown into one of the world’s most dynamic cities. This tour isn’t just about landmarks—it’s about uncovering the stories that shaped modern Australia.

Your Sydney tour itinerary

- We’ll start at the Queen Victoria Building (QVB), an architectural masterpiece reflecting Sydney’s colonial ambition. - Walking through Hyde Park, I’ll share how early governors like Phillip and Macquarie shaped the city. - At Martin Place, we’ll uncover the story of the Tank Stream, Sydney’s first freshwater source. - Strolling through Circular Quay, we’ll take in breathtaking views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, before diving into The Rocks, where Sydney’s convict past comes to life in its narrow, cobbled laneways. This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a glimpse into how Sydney evolved from a penal colony to a thriving global city.
