Description

Start the tour exploring the birthplace of European settlement in The Rocks, nestled proudly below the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Your guide will share the area’s convict past, once known as raucous settlement of convicts, soldiers, sailors and street gangs through to its evolvement into a thriving, modern precinct. Head up Macquarie Street to view a number historical buildings built when Governor Lachlan Macquarie reigned over the colony that still stand strong today. Some of these include Parliament House, The Sydney Mint, The Australian Museum, Sydney Hospital, and St Mary’s Cathedral. Head east through Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs. Macquarie's Point, which offers one of the best vantage points for Insta-worthy photos in Sydney. Enjoy the excellent views whilst indulging in the historical significance of this location that Governor Lachlan Macquarie carved out of sandstone for his wife in 1810 upon arriving in the colony. Travel through the trendy inner city neighborhoods of Surry Hills, Woolloomooloo and Woollahra where seedy small bars have been replaced with coffee, quality restaurants, fashion boutiques and art galleries. Visit the beautiful seaside village of Watson’s Bay with spectacular views up Sydney Harbor to the CBD and Harbor Bridge. Enjoy a stroll at The Gap on the huge sandstone clifftops at the entrance to Sydney Harbor. Dip your toes in the ocean and enjoy an ice cream whilst taking in the sun and surf at world famous Bondi Beach. If sand and surf are not your thing, stretch those legs and enjoy a stroll along the spectacular Bondi to Bronte clifftop walk, or a light ale at a local beachfront watering hole.
