5.00My friends and I totally enjoyed The Historical Guided Walking Tour of Glebe led by the talented Ned. This is the second time in two years I have done this tour and it is still extremely enlightening and enjoyable. Glebe is a beautiful part of Sydney’s heritage and Ned’s passion and historical knowledge kept us entertained all morning. His ability to interweave the facts with humorous social tidbits from Glebe’s past ensured a great start to our weekend. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Book today!

5.00Ned’s exciting and informative tour of Glebe was a really great experience. My jaw dropped at some of the interesting facts right at my door step. I can’t wait to share some of what I learned with friends when they visit. The walking was nicely paced with frequent stops. Ned allowed me to bring my small dog (I did ask in advance) which was a treat for him too!
Great local tour of suburban Sydney

5.00Ned is a terrific tour guide. He's so knowledgeable about the history of the SYD. I've moved here within the past year from overseas. I love learning about the richness of my new home - Glebe. We took in quite a bite of neighborhoods I'd not seen before. Ned has a wealth of knowledge and readily answered questions from the group. We were all enthralled. Looking forward to taking visiting guests on this tour - and to exploring more of Sydney with Real History Walking Tours!
