Overview
Sydney began here. On this 2-hour walk, a local guide takes you through The Rocks' cobbled lanes and sandstone buildings, telling the story of the first colony from the streets where it happened. MEETING POINT: Campbells Cove, The Rocks, next to the Campbells Cove stairs WHAT YOU'LL SEE - Hidden laneways and alleys from the convict era - A secret spot few visitors find, with the remains of early colonial homes from the 1800s, showing how Sydney's early settlers really lived - Some of Sydney's oldest pubs and homes (and, if the group allows, a peek inside) - Historic terrace houses and sandstone lanes - The convict-built Argyle Cut - Views of the Harbour Bridge from the old harbour streets WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT Small group (max 15), English-speaking local guide, great stories and easy photo stops.
