    Anne was awesome , a small group tour where all questions were handled expertly. It was raining that didn't stop our tour guide knowing where to position the group even down to avoiding known puddle spots. The teenager with me thought it was cool and looks forwards to his new career as a dog walloper

    A very interesting look into the origins of Sydney and the history of the early settlers. Judith, our guide, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the area and provided an excellent insight into The Rocks from early times to the present days. Well worth the couple of hours we spent exploring.
