We will briefly enter the Queen Victoria Building, but mainly just to see it and for any guests to use the bathrooms.

We stop in Hyde Park where you will get a great view of St Mary's Cathedral. We do not enter the cathedral or go up close to it (approximately 50 metres from the building).

We will stop in Martin Place and Pitt St to look at the General Post Office and hear the story of its controversial construction and design.

We will stop in Martin Place to hear about the ANZAC Cenotaph and Australia's involvement in World War 1.

We will walk through part of The Rocks towards the end of the tour, visiting the Nurses Walk, Jack Mundey Place and lower George St.

We will see the Opera House from where we finish the tour and at Campbell's Cove. We do not enter the Opera House but you will hear the story of its construction.
