Your tour today will start in your hotel lobby where your friendly guide will meet you before showing you through the historic Rocks precinct. Witness the birthplace of Sydney and explore the convict-built cottages, pubs and the first church in Australia. Heading east, we make our way to the stunning Botanical Gardens situated right in the heart of Sydney.
