Led by a local guide, this walking tour takes you from Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and the Fleet Steps to Bennelong Lawn, Sydney Opera House Forecourt, the Grand Steps, the lower walkway, the eastern waterfront path, and Circular Quay. Along the way, enjoy some of Sydney’s best harbour views while uncovering the human drama behind the city’s most iconic building.
