This was an awesome tour! So much fun, interesting Aussie history around Sydney. It was great to go downtown, off the tourist areas. Our guide, Steve, was so entertaining! Would highly recommend this tour!

Well worth the money! This was a 3.5 hour walk around Sydney, with a lot of detail into the history of the area. Steve was very knowledgeable, a really great guy, and because it was a small group you could easily hear and see the information that was being given. Highly recommended.
