Explore historic lanes with your own local guide, with time for questions and photographs. Choose an English, Mandarin Chinese or Vietnamese-speaking guide when booking. Meet your private guide at Circular Quay Wharf 3 and begin with an introduction to Gadigal Country and the harbour that shaped Sydney. Your guide will contact you one day before the tour with the exact meeting location and further details. For bookings made less than 24 hours before departure, your guide will contact you after booking. Continue to Cadmans Cottage, where the changing shoreline reveals how different early Sydney looked. Enter the sandstone lanes of The Rocks and look for old doorways, building details and traces of the people who once lived and worked here. At Foundation Park, explore the outlines of rooms and old foundations to imagine the terrace houses that once stood here and the everyday lives of their residents. Continue towards Observatory Hill for stories of navigation, signals and the development of Sydney Harbour. Finish at Observatory Hill Park, with time for harbour photographs and recommendations for exploring independently afterwards. This is a private walking tour for your group of 2–8 guests.
