Buyer beware!! Booked this tour on Feb 24 for a Mar 2 tour at 8:30am. My wife and I were getting off a cruise ship that morning with a return flight to the US at 2pm. I paid for the tour tickets and arranged and paid for storage of our luggage at a nearby business location, which couldn’t be refunded if cancelled after 8pm Mar 1st. After purchasing the tour tickets the tour operator sent an email requesting our input regarding what we wanted to see/do during the tour which I responded to. A day or two lter I received another email asking if we would change our tour date to Mar 3rd which I responded as “unable” since we would no longer be in Sydney. Next email said we would be advised of the tour guide’s name at some point. After disembarking the ship the morning of Mar 2nd, I received an email from the tour operator that, unfortunately they would not be able to provide us the tour and that we could expect a refund within 3-5 days. Since we were already on the hook for storing our bags for a few hours, we just walked around the “Rocks” area taking in the sights but not much historical knowledge. Received another email later from tour operator apologizing again and asking if we would “kindly” NOT post any negative public reviews regarding our experience. So, as I began this review, “Buyer beware!”
A very good introduction to The Rocks and Sydney's history

A guided tour where you get more information about both Sydney's history, the exciting area of The Rocks and about everything from markets to shops, restaurants and activities in The Rocks. Kevin was a very good guide for us, and also had a lot of additional information about Australia today and about daily life in Australia

This was a great walk. Kevin was very thorough with explaining the history and culture of the rocks. We learned a lot, and Kim was very patient with her slow walking speed left us on the walkway to the Opera House, which was our next tour.
