Overview

Sydney’s oldest neighbourhood, The Rocks, is bursting with history, culture, and world-famous sights. On this self-guided walking tour, where iconic landmarks meet unforgettable stories, you’ll experience the city’s lively energy and unique Aussie spirit firsthand.

The tour begins at the stately Customs House, a grand building from 1845, where Sydney’s early settlers once arrived. You’ll pass through Herald Square, filled with eye-catching sculptures and fountains, before stopping for a taste of colonial charm at the legendary Fortune of War, Sydney’s oldest pub, where early residents shared a pint and a tale.

The tour ends at the Sydney Opera House and Opera Bar with breathtaking views of another of the city’s crown jewels, the Harbour Bridge, the colossal ”Coathanger” that stretches across the harbour.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
