COVID-19 UPDATE JUNE 1st 2020
As from today, in NSW groups of up to 20 people can attend a wedding, and 50 people a funeral. However, the official advice is that the maximum for walking tour groups is 9 people, plus the tour guide.
At the same time there are rules that determine what is and what is not "an essential gathering" under Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order (No 3) 2020 [NSW]. Tour groups are not deemed essential gatherings.
Keeping everyone 1.5 metres apart in a group to run tours and being able to tell stories without having to shout or use amplification, is impossible. We operate in places where shouting and using amplification is not only inappropriate - in the evening, it is breaking environmental laws. As a result, we are continuing to await further lifting of restrictions.
Based on what was announced today, we are hopeful that we will be able to resume small group evening tours in June, ( groups <10) and resume tour groups of greater than 10 in July.
In the mean time - we remain open for the purchase of gift certificates valid for three years - and we will prioritise gift certificate holders on tours as soon as we resume tour operations.
Please watch this space for further developments...
In the meantime - stay well, stay safe, stay prosperous, and do your best to stay sane. Particularly if you have to spend some time self isolating and social distancing!
Kind regards
Daniel, Hera and all of the team at Sydney History Tours

Our past should be remembered...
& celebrated!
Focusing on the hidden history of Sydney, we tell the stories of the past, in a way that is so vivid that you will remember their stories for a lifetime. Reality is always stranger than fiction. Let us take you back, into the reality of the Sydney's past, and tell you the stories of how it became what you see today!
We reveal Australia's rich Georgian, Victorian, and Federation era history, in a way that explains the realities of daily life in these times. Life in these eras was so hugely different to our 21st century way of life, and now remains largely unknown - quite literally buried in our backyard..
