Description
Wind your way through the back alleyways, up the steps and back in time to uncover the stories and people who shaped this fledgling colony. Hear all about Sydney’s oldest pubs, the first breweries, amazing convict tales, and a rebellion over the most precious drink of all... rum!
As Australia’s first neighbourhood, the Rocks was literally cut from the sandstone cliffs that rise above Sydney Harbour. On this Sydney walking tour, we’ll carve out a narrative of this neighbourhood’s history, starting with the convicts that were forced to settle here and their amazing tales of survival and
entrepreneurship.
Along the way on this Sydney Rocks tour we’ll make pit stops at some classic local spots. Explore the once seedy back alleyways, which today are very safe and feature many great photo opportunities as well as great cafes, bars and restaurants.
From there we’ll delve deeper into some of the most unique and off-the-beatentrack parts of the Rocks. You’ll hear more intriguing historical stories and we’ll also visit an archaeological site like no other in Australia, before hunkering down to enjoy one last beer together.
