In this private small group Walking Tour 'Discover The Colony' we will travel back in time to discover all the secrets of the birthplace of modern Australia by visiting The Rocks Historic District and the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens. We will also cover the main projects that make Sydney a unique modern city.
The tour guide will run the tour exclusively for you or your group (up to 10 guests). This is a very intimate experience to make you really enjoy the rich history of the oldest neighbourhood in Australia.
In the first half of the tour, we will walk the cobblestone alleys of The Rocks where we will tell the stories of the first convicts, prostitutes and gangsters.
We will understand what were the true interests of the British Crown to create a penal colony in Australia, and we will relive the terrible living conditions of this first settlement.
We will continue our adventure walking to the Sydney Royal Botanic Garden to discover the historical importance that this place has had in the development of the penal colony and for the Aboriginal communities.
We will visit the Sydney Opera House forecourt to learn all the details of its construction.

Aunque no estaba entre mis prioridades el visitar el Jardín Botánico, fuimos un día de sol y realmente me sorprendió, con innumerables lugares para recorrer, sitios de descanso, rosedal, una fantástica pared verde , el Calyx, imperdible.
Las vistas a la ciudad, al mar , al Opera House, etc, sorprenden en cada esquina.
Todo en un ambiente de relax y sin ruidos que hace de este paseo un verdadero descanso para la vista y el cuerpo

As a tour guide myself I am particularly fussy when it comes to going on a tour... Oscar was exceptional in his knowledge and presentation. He manages to make it soooo much fun while cramming in lots of facts and anecdotes and historical trivia. My friends and I had THE BEST TIME. 5 stars from us
