Description
Discover the story of Sydney on this expert-led walking tour, while hitting all of the city’s main attractions.
Perfect for those who have just arrived, as well as locals and those who want to go deeper in learning about Australian history, culture, society & First Nations people.
Starting from Customs House, you’ll hear about Sydney’s colonisation by the British – and how their arrival impacted the original inhabitants, the Cadigal people of the Eora nation.
Your guide will provide you with a range of perspectives on Sydney’s development, introducing Aboriginal people, British governors, convicts & entrepreneurs, and other multicultural migrants, as you weave your way through the city centre.
You’ll finish with a beer at a popular brewery that has harbour views of both the Bridge and the Opera House. While there, your host will give you a custom-made map with heaps of recommendations to make the most of your time in Sydney: food, nightlife, art and more.
