What a fantastic experience! Amanda was an incredible tour guide and truly helped share what it meant to be part of her tribe. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and learning about her traditions and history. Would highly recommend, and already have to my friends who live in Sydney.

Really insightful and eye opening tour about the aboriginal culture and what has been lost due to the dark history of colonisation... A must do in Sydney - really enjoyed it ❤️

This walking tour in Sydney introduced us to the culture and customs of possibly the earliest humans on earth. Their connection to the earth and nature is profound and woven into their spirituality and daily lives. This influences many Australians' keen awareness and concern for the environment. We were also shown early evidence of the lives they lived before the arrival of white men. This tour is a must for those interested in the early history of humans in Australia (recent artifacts dated to 80,000 years ago).

Not worth it. Nothing else to say. I did not get the experience I had expected. It was disappointing.

Brilliant, loved this tour. Very informative and removed alot of myths developed through movies and the media. Always worth getting to know a country's history from the indiginate population.

Emily was amazing. A young Aboriginal woman proud of her heritage and more importantly her family. She educated our Canadian guests, and us, bringing the culture alive.

I thinks this business gets their bad reviews removed so I wasn't sure if it was even worth my time to write one...but hoping this one stays and helps others level-set expectations.
What I expected: to learn about the history and culture of Aboriginals pre and post colonization in the context of Australia today.
What I got: a 90-min lecture in the form of baseless claims, a tour guide who gets offended if you ask questions that she does not know the answer to, and a serious victim mentality that underscores every "fact" being shared.
