We really enjoyed our tour, we saw lots of places we did not know anything about even though we have been visiting Sydney for years.

Description
Walk around Sydney with a local and discover its hidden secrets. You’ll enjoy this picturesque city’s highlights and see over 200 years of history come to life.
Sydney was settled around a freshwater stream that formed the back boundary of properties fronting the earliest main streets.
In time, these laneways became formalised, oblivious to any planner’s grid. Other laneways developed to provide access to the rear of the commercial buildings that came to dominate the area. Charming walkways and grungy service lanes today contribute to the complex tapestry of the city.
This 2-hour tour takes you along the historical Tank Stream. You’ll hear the bizarre backstories and incredible histories of the city’s sights as you take the least-walked path through downtown Sydney – a great local experience!
Please wear comfortable shoes.
