From start to finish the Fabulous Wondermama Walking Tour was an absolute blast! Personality plus from this warm and amazing host, who not only told us the history of the area but forged a real sense of connection and understanding with stories of the community's past. Above this, it was obvious how Wondermama was a much loved and respected member of the area, embraced by the hearts of all! It was also a wonderful taste-tester of the great stores in the area, to go back to later and made us feel like we were helping the reinvigoration of this important cultural district. If you're hesitating about booking, don't...it'll be the best 3 hours you spend in Sydney!Loved learning new things about Sydney, stops were awesome. A drink with Wonder Mama to end fabulous

I so enjoyed the interesting and colourful walking tour with the added bonus of meeting other people from Australia and travellers from abroad. I am a Sydney local and in my younger years practically lived in Oxford street enjoying the many bars and restaurants and shops, to hear Wonder Mama's storytelling of the amazing history of the area and the "underground" I discovered a whole new Oxford Street I didn't know existed. I found Wonder Mama very engaging and entertaining and would highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors to Sydney.I live in Sydney and have walked the street of Darlinghurst many times, yet I still learned so much about the buildings, people, shops and stories of how the gay scene evolved.

I live in Sydney and have walked the street of Darlinghurst many times, yet I still learned so much about the buildings, people, shops and stories of how the gay scene evolved. Met some locals along the way who were funny characters. I felt like a star walking next to Wonder Mana as cars honked and bystanders said hello. Wonder Mama was fabulous. It was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.We loved the Wonder Mama Tour! You won't be disappointed.. fun, informative & Wonder Mama herself ❤❤
