City Pub Walk (Sydney Pub Tour)
Politicians, governors and professional's hands grease the wheels to keep the economy running, but occasionally those fingers get a little sticky. Come find out how business really gets done in the big end of town on The City Pub Walk. On this 2.5 hour walking tour you’ll meet the scammers and fraudsters (not always politicians), who bashed, murdered and (in one case) robbed the whole state to achieve their KPIs. Between tales of greed for green, you’ll enjoy a few craft beers or wines in four of Sydney’s finest bars and pubs. Tour highlights include The heist of 1828; Jack Lang, bank robber; The hop thief; Rum rebellion; The first execution; The Mad Dentist; Sydney’s dog day afternoon; The Pub Bank; John Boston's brewery; Old George Street; The pugilists pub; The Big Mac; Bridge Street affray; The Lobster woman; and more. This tour is perfect for corporate groups, so groups of four or more can book privately at anytime. Email the operator to enquire.
The Rocks Pub Walk
Tread in the footsteps of the convicts, larrikin gangs and locals of the past as you share a drink in four of Sydney's oldest pubs. Between watering holes, your guide will take you through the alleys and cobbled streets of The Rocks as they share the gossip, shouts and stories of Australia's first European settlement. After the tour, you can enjoy a tasty meal and another beer with your fellow tour members. Tour includes: A choice of a beer (285 millilitres/10 ounce), house wine or soft drink at each pub and a 2.5 hour guided walking tour of The Rocks covering Sydney's oldest pub, larrikin gangs, the six o'clock swill, bubonic plague outbreak, the fight for The Rocks, the Rum Rebellion, haunted places, and more!
