5.00We had a great time learning about the history of Sydney, we are from Newcastle and had two friends visiting from the UK, who have been to Sydney before but never been to the places the walking tour took us to and neither had we. Lily was a great guide and knew her history very well. We also had some laughs along the way. Thanks Lily
A delightful and historically enlightening Sydney tour!

5.00I actually learnt a lot in a short time on the history of Sydney and Australia, with the guide Lilly who showed us so many significant places and signs around the city. Never a dull moment, it was hugely interesting and entertaining and very clearly explained! I highly recommend this tour to anyone, even if it is not your first visit! This is a must! Sydney is not only a beautiful work of city building, but also of mind, strength, vision and so much more, and it will become crystal clear during this walk. I loved Sydney very much, a real discovery!
A great start to our time in Sydney!
