The Rocks Pub-to-Pub Walk

Discover Syndey’s Oldest, Most Colorful Neighborhoods and Pubs Raise a glass in Sydney’s oldest pubs, and learn the rollicking history of The Rocks, Australia’s first settlement. You will walk in the footsteps of convicts, sailors, the Gadigal people, larrikin gangs and even a few ghosts, with your local guide sharing stories of them all. Nestled among The Rocks’ restored buildings, cobbled alleys, weekend markets and restaurants are many historic pubs. You will stop at four of the oldest and most atmospheric drinking establishments in Australia. Listen to enthralling tales of how rogues became rulers, debtors became philanthropists and convicts became upright citizens who laid the foundations of what was to become modern-day Australia. You will also hear stories about the underground tunnels and back lanes used for rum smuggling and shanghaiing sailors as you nibble on snacks and sip on a refreshing glass of craft beer, cider or wine in each pub. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
