Do NOT Miss This! - At the end of a 3 week trip through NZ and Australia, we caught this tour on our last night in Sydney, and it was the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide, Colin, was kind enough to run the tour with just two of us, and from the start, we knew it was going to be great. He guided us through the Rocks and showed us things we'd never see, like a hidden archeology type dig. Even better, he told us so much interesting history (I had told him we were interested in history and culture) from WW2 Australia through current day. Colin also shared a couple of wild stories that I won't reveal about the origins of a couple of brews/breweries (keywords: monkey, admiral). At each stop we had the option of beer or wine, which added to the fun. I cannot thank Colin enough for a wonderful night and memories/stories from this tour that I have already shared with many back in the States.

A fun night of pub crawling - The guide Simon was very entertaining, and full of local stories and "yarns". He was a life-long resident of Sydney, so he was a great source of fun information.
