Tours and Tickets by Journey Walks
Overview
Founded as a convict colony, Sydney’s history is simply fascinating. Discover it with a local historian on this small-group walking tour of The Rocks, which wraps up inside a converted 19th Century storehouse with a cobblestone beer-garden. See a scale model of the area in Customs House; visit historic slums, speakeasies, and ruins in The Rocks’ cobbled lanes; and hear tales of derring-do as you visit the landmarks in Macquarie Place.

Max at Journey Walks did such a fantastic job. We had booked in the Convict Colony Tour for a social event and the team absolutely loved it - since the tour all I've heard have been positive reviews and how brilliant Max and tour was. Thank you!

A must see for anyone interested in history! Excellent commentary with walking at a gentle pace. Even if you think you know the history of the Rocks there is more to learn on this walk, including diss houses, larrikins, Suez Canal and opium dens.
