Delve into the past as you're introduced to some of the larger than life characters that made the city of Sydney what it is today.

Along the way, you'll take in scenic highlights like the Royal Botanic Garden, the magnificent Sydney Opera House, the bustling Circular Quay, the iconic Harbour Bridge, and the colonial sandstone architecture of The Rocks. A stop at a café with unrivalled harbour's views is all part of this immersive experience in the story of Sydney. Sip on some tea infused with native ingredients, accompanied by some damper - a simple bread traditionally cooked in the campfire - or take a deep dive into the Australian culinary heritage by grazing on local products showcasing indigenous ingredients in use for tens of thousands of years (optional upgrade).

This is the ideal tour to get an orientation of Sydney and at the same time experience a slice of Australia’s ancient and contemporary culture.
