Wandering around Sydney without a destination in mind is a time-honoured tradition. However, having a guide can give you an even deeper look into the things that make this city what it is. With Sydney walking tours, you\u2019ll feel like an insider \u2013 because you\u2019ll be<\/i> an insider! From the bustling pub scene to historic neighbourhoods, you can see every centimetre of our favourite city on your own two feet. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Eat (and Drink) Your Way Through Sydney<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s better than getting to know Sydney on a personal level? Getting to know Sydney on a personal level\u2026while eating delicious food. We know \u2013 we\u2019re excited, too.<\/p>\n

Perk up your day with the Caf\u00e9 Walking Tour & Forsyth Coffee Workshop<\/a>. Sydney is a master of caf\u00e9 culture and you\u2019ll get to see two of its lovely cafes and <\/i>partake in a coffee workshop. That\u2019s right: you\u2019ll learn all about the process of making coffee, from plant to final product. Who knows, maybe you\u2019ll be inspired to open your own caf\u00e9!<\/p>\n

Prefer the understated class of afternoon tea? The Small-Group Tastes of Asia & Chinatown Walking Tour<\/a> is all that and more. You\u2019ll sample cultural delicacies while learning about a variety of Asian cultures that have settled in Sydney. A stroll through Chinatown will cap off your adventure, where you\u2019ll learn a few recipes to keep in your back pocket for your next dinner party.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another time-honoured tradition: a nightcap after a busy day of sightseeing. The Evening Walking Tour of the Bar Scene<\/a> is a great way to really get a feel for the local cocktail scene. Warning: there\u2019s every possibility you may finish up this evening with a new favourite pub.<\/p>\n

Get to Know Sydney\u2019s History<\/h2>\n

You know about Sydney\u2019s famous architecture and lively nightlife. But did you know it\u2019s got some pretty crazy history too? For example, we bet you didn\u2019t know about the Tank Stream tributary, now an underground waterway. The Private Tank Stream Walking Tour<\/a> melds historic facts with some truly dazzling photo ops (yes, Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are included), so make sure you bring your camera.<\/p>\n

No one can say they know Sydney\u2019s history until they\u2019ve paid a visit to The Rocks neighbourhood. This used to be the \u201cconvict side\u201d of town, and while you\u2019re on the Convicts in The Rocks Walking Tour & Bangaroo Picnic<\/a>, you\u2019ll hear their stories and follow in their footsteps, exploring pubs and old shops they themselves once frequented.<\/p>\n

Looking for an experience that\u2019s a little more, well, colourful? You don\u2019t have to give up the history aspect \u2013 or the pubs. The Small-Group LGBT History Walking Tour<\/a> combines the interesting history of the Oxford Street\/Hyde Park area with a pint or two in a popular area pub. Plus, you\u2019ll stop off at the Botanical Gardens, to add even more colour to your holiday.<\/p>\n

Sure, you could stay home and crack a book or two in an effort to get to know your city. But what\u2019s the fun in that? Expedia.com.au wants you to see Sydney<\/a> the way we do: as a living, vibrant place, full of fun and history. So put on your walking shoes \u2013 let\u2019s get moving!<\/p>\n
