★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 514 reviews · from $57Our pick

Review of Sydney’s small-group walking tour, covering colonial history, Indigenous heritage, major sights, and a beer at Circular Quay.

“Great walking tour taking us through the main business district, the circular quay, and the Rocks. Our guide Matt was very friendly and shared a lot of interesting stories of the establishment of Sydney and it's interactions with the First Nations people. He was also quick to share suggestions of places to eat when we asked. We had 7 in our group, which was a great size because we were able to be nimble and fit into places or alleyways larger groups couldn't.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 251 reviews · from $82

Explore Sydney’s oldest quarter through four historic pubs, local stories, and four included drinks on this lively 2.5-hour walking tour.

“Our guide Colin was excellent - full of knowledge and enthusiasm. The beer/drinks were very generous on the tour and we were very happy to have eaten a hearty meal in advance. We knew there would not be food on the tour so it worked out great for us to have an early dinner (we went to The Rocks Cafe) and then the drinks. Colin took us to places we would not have found on our own, and every place we stopped had a designated table waiting for us. Our 20 year old daughter joined us on the tour and it was a fun thing for all of us to…”

Explore Sydney’s best small bars on a 3.5-hour guided night out, with five routes, one drink included, local stories, and useful tips.

“We had the joy of having the day tour as well as night tour. It was spaced out brilliant and had hours of the day before the night tour I highly recommend doing both and seeing a different place each time. We were thinking we may be going over things we done during the day but absolutely not! We were lucky to have Dan again and he had even more new stories and interesting facts about a few places we walked passed and it was such a different tour with amazing choices of bars.
