Sydney History Walking Tours

Our Sydney History Walking Tours

Our history walking tours all start at a train station in the Sydney city centre. Each walking tour has been researched and designed by a Sydney-based historian and archaeologist who specialises in Sydney’s amazing past. Our history walking tours take you off the tourist tracks and away from the tourist traps. You instead traverse back streets, and hidden lanes and explore secret neighbourhoods. Best of all, we don’t use tired old scripts, we prefer to customise the tours to suit the interests of each group. It is the best way to discover the Sydney of the locals.


Explore murder, myth and mystery in Sydney’s most eerie and sinful historical neighbourhood. You will track the steps of disturbed serial killers; lurk through old ganglands; uncover a 19th-century same-sex scandal that ends in murder and discover the forgotten prostitute lanes, beats and brothels. *Parental discretion for children under 15.* Click here to find out more.
