Offers for you
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes — the tour covers uneven surfaces, cobblestone streets, and some stairs.
The Rocks is one of Sydney’s oldest and most character-filled neighbourhoods, so expect a few slopes and hilly laneways.
Bring a hat, sunscreen, and water, especially on warm days — many streets are outdoors and exposed to the sun.
Tours operate in most weather conditions, so a light rain jacket or umbrella is handy just in case.
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and meet your guide before departure.
Cameras are welcome — there are plenty of photo-worthy heritage buildings and harbour views along the route.
