A definite must do pub tour in The Rocks. - The rocks pub tour was outstanding and a definite must do if staying in Sydney. Our tour guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend a few hours with. He made the experience a pleasure. In addition to learning some history, we visited four pubs, a true pub crawl. I highly recommend.
