What to do and see in Sydney, New South Wales: The Best Photography Tours

November 5, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

I had a great morning Sunday learning so much about the use of my iphone to take photos with tips, tricks and expert advice from Colin. Strolling around the opera house, Botanic Gardens and Woolloomooloo on a perfect blue sky day provided lots of content. Colin is a patient teacher and incredibly knowledgeable. I found the rate great value for money and would recommend the workshop to those who want to get more out of their iphone photos!

As one of Australia’s oldest neighbourhoods, The Rock boasts plenty of historic magnificence and on this tour we guarantee that you won’t be disappointed by the clandestine ruins beneath the now trendy streets. Historically the area had a reputation as a slum on the arriving convicts’ side of town. Often frequented by visiting sailors and prostitutes, the contrast to todays trendy vibe is sharp as the cobbled streets are lined with boutique stores and quaint cafés. The Rocks historic area was once home to the Gadigal aboriginal people and later became the country's first site of European settlement. There is therefore so much vibrant history to discover in this neighbourhood and we will introduce you to it all. Among the many things you will explore on this tour is Fortune of War, Sydney’s oldest pub, and the haunted Susannah Place, where the ghost of a little convict girl is rumoured to roam at dusk.

Inclusions: Professional Guide

Exclusions: Gratuities
