5Pubs, History and a Great Afternoon with Dave-o
A Fantastic Way to Learn About Sydney We had a very enjoyable afternoon exploring The Rocks with our professional and knowledgeable guide, Dave-o. It was a fantastic way to learn about the origins of Sydney while visiting some character-filled historic pubs and enjoying good beer. We also appreciated having the option to choose a soft drink. Be prepared for plenty of walking, including some hilly terrain, but it was well worth it. A fun and memorable way to experience this historic part of Sydney. Highly recommended!
4Fun night at the rocks
We liked being able to walk around the rocks and learn the history of the area. We were able to pick which beer to try at each location and wine was an option if you are not a big wine drinker. It would be nice if you had time to buy some snacks at a location or two on the trip.
5Great tour of Pubs in the Rocks
Great experience. Emily has a lot of knowledge of the history of Sydney. All of the pubs were great.
5Fabulous Tour - Highly Recommend
We had a fabulous time on our tour with our guide Doug (aka Duggie, Dougall 😂). It was just the four of us (two couples), which made the tour feel really special and personalised. We’ve travelled to Sydney a few times before and have always enjoyed a drink or two around The Rocks, but this guided tour took it to the next level! It’s so much more than just a pub crawl — it’s also a fascinating history lesson and a great insight into how The Rocks came to be what it is today. Doug was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Do yourselves a favour while you’re in Sydney and book this tour. You definitely won’t be disappointed!
5Great fun
Great fun. Visited four really interesting pubs that served local craft ale and was given a recommendation for a fifth. Recommended.
5Worth it
Had a wonderful afternoon with one of ‘the Daves’ … interesting, informative, educational and entertaining… we thought it was good value. Do recommend.

About Sydney
Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
Top-ranked sights in Sydney: Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour.
