What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel and drives a small group through parts of Sydney most visitors miss. You'll walk through Kings Cross, hearing about its colourful past, then head to Woolloomooloo's waterfront where you'll queue at Harry's for a Tiger (their signature pastry). The group moves on to Mrs Macquarie's Chair in the Botanic Gardens for uncluttered night shots of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The final leg takes you into The Rocks' narrow lanes—Sydney's oldest European neighbourhood—where you'll sit down with a drink in a pub constructed by convicts. Mostly flat walking, but comfortable shoes matter.
Good to know
Bring a camera; the night lighting rewards it. Carry a light layer even in summer—harbour breezes cool things down. The tour suits all fitness levels with minimal walking. Prams and infant seats available. Your own driver and guide throughout means no group-pace frustration.
