Excellent content and presentation. Read the ‘Fatal Shore’, go on Max’s tour and understand the colonial birthplace of Australia.

Our guide, Beck provided us with a well structured and very interesting account and tour from the arrival of the British to Australia and the development of Sydney up to the present day. The illustrations she brought with her were particularly helpful.

Bec, our tour guide, was wonderful - engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly. We enjoyed her sharing so many stories about Sydney and the Rocks. And wonderful to be able to walk around while learning history. Would highly recommend.

The walking tour was excellent from start to finish 👏 . Our tour guide Beckie was very knowledgeable and dealt with all questions with interest and intusium.

Really informative and interesting walking tour around Sydney’s harbour. Beccs (our guide) was well informed and engaging which helped bring the history to life. Mostl of this walk is at street level, but there are a number of steps at the end of the tour, so most people should manage it quite well, however, I would check before you book if you have any accessibility needs as I’m not sure there is any alternative for wheel chairs, etc. All in all, well worth taking a couple of hours out of your time in Sydney if you can spare it, you will see a side to the city most will miss.

Fantastic guide so knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour interesting, entertaining and an easy walk.

As cruise ship passengers, we only had a day in Sydney, and this tour was perfect! Max is a fantastic guide and a master storyteller. We've had guides in the past that recite boring names and dates that we'll never remember, but not on this tour! With Max, we heard fascinating true stories about the convict history of Sydney and much more. We were left us with a much richer understanding of the area - thank you Max!

This tour brings alive early history of the rocks and why that location was important to the development of Sydney and the larger region. Our guide, Max, is a history teacher and that was evident in the way he wove the history and culture together to help us develop a feeling for what that place was/is about.

Rebecca was a fantastic tour guide. She wove the whole tour into a wonderful history lesson about the Rocks and Sydney. I would definitely recommend this tour!!

Max was our guide. He was simply the best guide we had in the three weeks in Australia (about 10 different tours). Besides completely knowing the subject, Max wove the history of the US into the history of Australia. Max provided anecdotes about each stop and foreshadowed future stops that became so much more meaningful when we got to that next stop. There was a lot of walking, but Max was patient, kept our group together and gave rest (and shade) when we needed it. Max was funny, informative and helpful. He offered suggestions on other things to do and see in Sydney. We were ready to sign up for his class. If you have any interest in better understanding the history and culture of Sydney, please sign up for this tour and specify Max.

Very informative walking tour through the rocks, Max our guide was a wealth of information. Definitely a must do while in Sydney

This tour was the perfect way to wrap up my visit to Sydney. I learned so much about the history of the city and in relation to the history of Europe and the UK at that time. My daughter and partner who live in Sydney also enjoyed the tour immensely despite knowing much more than I do about where they live. Max was a fantastic storyteller, extremely knowledgeable about Sydney and providing context through world history. The tour is a lot of walking, bring water and a hat.

Excellent walking tour with a guide who was knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about the life of the original convicts.

Excellent tour Guide was very interesting and the history of how Sydney was discovered and developed from the early settlers into todays city was fascinating So much to discover which you would not know and the stories and tour was run by the guide in a very friendly and engaging manner. Definitely a must do on a visit to Sydney

You pretty much go through history of city and surrounding area from Ice age to modern days. Although you cover a lot of places the walk is organized very well so it isn’t hard to do. Most important our guide was very knowledgable and also gave us recommendations to go to other places like Governor’s House for free tour.

I loved the Sydney Convict Colony tour. Our tour guide Beck gave us a great overview of the history of the area and I learned a lot in only a few hours. Beck was very knowledgeable about the area, gave good local recommendations, and was conscientious about our comfort and our tour experience given the very hot temperatures that day. I would recommend Journey Walks and would love to try another one of their tours on another visit to Sydney.

I did the convict tour and loved it! Max was fun and informative, I’d highly recommend it! If I was staying longer, I would do some of his other tours as well.

Wonderful tour. Our guide was exceptional. His knowledge and delivery were fantastic. I went with my grandson and we both enjoyed the experience very much. Wish we had the time to take a couple more of the walks.

We learned a lot about Sydney’s history from our great guide Max. What a nice way to explore the city on foot.

Loved the history with the tour of the Rocks. Could really imagine the challenges the Colonizers faced. Max was engaging and a great tour Guide.
