We really enjoyed the pub tour. We got to try a different beer at each location, and our guide made excellent recommendations. We learned a great deal about the history of the area. This was a great way to experience the Rocks.
We had a great tour with Greg- he is very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great tips for our trip!
Doug was great and explained things really well. Loved the experience. Drinks were nice. 100% recco Nelson's Blood! Will be back for that. People on tour were so awesome too. Go for it!
Had an amazing time on the Rocks historical Pub tour, our guide Emily was brilliant, she was very knowledgeable on the history of the Rocks. Highly recommend this tour!
Emily was absolutely a fantastic guide and person. Lots of details on the pubs AND items that we past while walking. The pubs were great and each had a little different style and types of beers. Highly recommended!
Our tour was really fun! We had a small group… just 5 of us so it was easy and great to get to know the others touring the Rocks with us. Emily was……. AMAZING. she was not only fun and informative but so kind and conscientious. Loved having her to guide us around the Rocks. We really enjoy walking tours (like this one). They are such a great way to get our feet on the ground in a new city, get to know some of the history, and meet new people! We would definitely book again with Dave’s Tours.
Doug was a fantastic guide! The tour was fun, low-key and the history was amazing. Absolutely recommend!
We were looking for something low-key to fill an afternoon—something more engaging than just sitting in a bar—and this tour ended up being the perfect choice. Exploring The Rocks through its historic pubs was a really unique way to experience a bit of Sydney’s layered history. The mix of storytelling, local context, and great stops along the way made it both entertaining and informative without ever feeling heavy. Our guide, Emily, was fantastic. Her enthusiasm—especially when it engaging everyone to enjoy our time together—was contagious and really added to the experience. She kept things fun, relaxed, and engaging the entire time. One unexpected highlight: one of the stops had a pizza featuring kangaroo and emu meat. While we didn't have time to order one during the tour, we were intrigued enough that we actually went back later that evening after a show at the Opera House to try it. If you’re looking for a casual, social, and slightly different way to explore Sydney, this tour is a great pick. Highly recommend.
Emily was an amazing guide. Lots of great information and fun along the way. She brought us to four pubs, and knew the beers in each one. Highly recommend this tour and guide
Very enjoyable and enlightening. Learned a lot of history. The walking tour through the rocks was amazing
