★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,092 reviews · 1h 30m · from $32Our pick

A 90-minute small-group walk through The Rocks with clear storytelling, harbour views, and hidden lanes, from convict-era beginnings to today.

“Judith was a great guide. Charming, funny and very knowledgeable. She also actively engaged with and involved the children in our group by asking them to help her to point out key building features or share items of interest with the whole group. This tour is a great way to see historic aspects of Sydney on foot and hear how the modern city was originally founded. Highly recommend.”
