What a wonderful tour! Michael was our guide and filled our adventure with lots of fascinating historical nuggets. I became so wel-versed that the next day I ended up educating my coworkers on the history of the Rocks. This is the best way to start a Sydney trip, get acclimated and learn about Syndey’s origins. One of the best tours I’ve booked on Viator
The tour guide was excellent and provided a solid history of the Rocks District. Walking through the area utilizing pictures and historical buildings provided great visuals.
We very much enjoyed this tour, led by Sarah. She was delightful company and well informed. This tour covers a fascinating part of Sydney’s history.
Excellent information on the history of The Rocks. Short and informative.
I loved The Rocks Tour and tour guide Helen with the great job she did and the history she gave us all about The Rocks! All the history that goes along with The Rocks was very impressive and I totally enjoyed the walking tour. Very warm day out while doing the tour, but I enjoyed knowing how much of a role The Rocks location has been preserved and played in Sydney history. Very very popular place in Sydney for a lot of great reasons. You should enjoy this tour as well!
A short tour, but a good one. Would do it again!
The tour guide is knowledgeable, but tactics are a bit short on a sunny day. I start feeling uncomfortable when she had us standing under the sun for 20 minutes on a hot day listening to the history lessons. I would like to walk and to see more.
Enjoyed learning some of the history of Sydney and the colonization of Australia. Guide was excellent.
