Embark on a journey around the world’s most beautiful harbour, whilst delving into the stories of the 5 complex and controversial characters who shaped the city into what it is today. Each of the stops along the tour coincide with a different historical figure, which really draws you deep into the storey; rather than getting lost in facts and figures like so many other tours.

The tour begins at Bennelong Point, the site of the world-famous Opera House that was once the home of Woolarawarre Bennelong, a liaison between the British and the Aboriginals. We take a no holds barred look at Aboriginal life and the impact of the British arrival and delve into the raw details of Bennelong’s life.

The tour finishes at Campbell’s Cove (perfect Harbour Bridge photo spot) by delving into the great stories and characters surrounding the building and grand opening of the Harbour Bridge. Each stop along the way develops a roughly chronological journey through time making it much easier to keep up with the history. The overall distance covered is about 2.5km, so the short walks between stops will have you chatting away excitedly about what you’ve just learnt and eager to hear about Australia’s next controversial character.

Along the way, your dedicated and charismatic guide will make sure your camera roll is full of fantastic photos of you in front of Sydney’s famed sights. You will have seen the essential viewpoints of Sydney and learned the stories behind them. But most of all, by the time you’ve heard the stories of the 5 controversial characters you will finally understand every Australian stereotype you’ve heard.
