If you're going to be in Sydney and around the CBD make sure to put aside 90 minutes for the "The Rocks Sightseeing Tour". AMAZING!! We could have walked around ourselves and enjoyed the sights but it makes the whole experience 100 times better when you get the history and back story of the the streets and sights. Jill (the tour guide) was such a lovely lady and had great knowledge of the early history of the Rocks and Australia in general. Considering the low cost of this tour and the entertainment value it gives, it's really a no-brainer. Do yourself a favour and book this tour into your trip. Highly recommended.
