Our guide Vickie was knowledgeable on both historical facts of interest but more importantly, added anecdotes, stories and incidents that added colour and context. 90mins spent in her company opens your eyes to your surroundings. Even the texture of the stone will take on a new interest when you understand the texture, source and labour in its use. You will dive down alleys, walk through houses to see the backs and get a sense of how live evolved for the early pioneers. It wasn't all great, but it wasn't all bad either. Colonialism was a product of its time and history can't be rewritten. We can only learn from it and hope not to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers.

Best cruise ever! Beautiful yacht, plenty of time before dinner and in between courses to go outside and appreciate the beauty of Sydney’s harbour! Excellent service with very good wines served on demand. Cannot think of a single thing that I did not like. Worth every penny.

Toured with Fiorella who was beyond fantastic in her knowledge and details of The Rocks area. We were lucky to have a gorgeous, sunny day for the tour but the tour is worth it regardless of the weather! So many interesting stories and details of the early days of Australia in the 1810’s all the way through to today’s times. Would absolutely recommend the tour, if you’re looking to learn and experience more about the local history instead of just taking photos of the Opera House.
