Badass Women of Sydney Walking Tour

This Sydney walking tour looks at the city through the stories of women who are often missing from standard history tours. Over two hours, you’ll go from Macquarie Street to The Rocks with a local guide, hearing about the women who influenced politics, protected heritage buildings, and built communities in some of Sydney’s oldest streets. Expect a more specific, story-driven take on the city rather than a broad sightseeing overview.

You’ll join a guided walk through central Sydney, starting around Macquarie Street and continuing into The Rocks. Along the way, the focus stays on lesser-known histories, with stories about pub owners, nurses, writers, widows, and Chinese women who resisted, rebuilt, and helped shape the city. It’s a straightforward walking tour with a local guide, and it’s suitable for all fitness levels. Public transport is nearby, prams are allowed, and service animals can join.
