Excellent walk and talk and added value to understanding the birth of Sydney. Knowledgeable guide who clearly loved her job and passing on that experience.

We wanted to learn more about The Rocks and this tour gave us that opportunity. It went into knoocks and crannies that otherwise we would not have known were there. Guide was knowledgeable and informative.

John was very thorough and gave an Iinteresting account of the early history of Sydney. Took us behind the scenes to some courtyards behind the buildings to show us where the early city inhabitants lived. That and the stories about the early residents brought the Rocks to life.
