Overview

This isn’t your standard walking tour of Sydney.

This tour is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Where are the women in Sydney’s history?” It’s for travellers who want to get off the beaten path and discover a side of the city that few ever see — but everyone should know.

Led by She Shapes History, this experience takes you from the heart of Darlinghurst to the State Library of NSW, uncovering powerful stories of women who built underground art scenes, challenged the law, ran criminal empires, opened safe spaces, and redefined what leadership, community, and resistance could look like.

You’ll meet artists, activists, organisers, and everyday rebels who reshaped Sydney — and Australia — in ways you’ve probably never heard about. Come curious. Leave inspired.

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    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.
