Thanks Kotahi Tourism, I loved the tour, being with friends and new friends, having lunch afterwards, then a little shop at the markets.

High recommend to everyone.

Kia Ora

I've lived here 40 years and had no idea of the diverse history this place holds. We were a group of 8 & all enjoyed the tour. Having a dig site to see in the middle of Sydney is awesome. We would highly recommend this tour. And hope soon to do the Aboriginal Tour.
Thanks Mel & Hohepa Kotahi Tours

  Fascinating and fun tour!  - Great value tour of the Rocks from a Maori perspective. As a Kiwi I was shocked at how much information about early Maori-Sydney history I had no idea about... read more - really fascinating. Hohepa is a fantastic guide who is literally bursting with information. Just make sure you wear your walking shoes as he keeps a cracking pace up staircases, down alleyways and off course always with an eye on the harbour! Highly recommended - has really brought the Rocks to life for me.
