Amazing fun and so informative

We had fhe most amazing time with Serge. He met us and spent 2.25 hours showing us all around The Rocks. Not only were there chilling ghost stories, the history of The Rocks is absolutely fascinating. My husband and I have some of our loveliest snaps from the places we went on this tour. Of course, Serge's photography skills were in full swing when taking pics of us together. We certainly hope to meet up with this amazing guide when we come back to Sydney with our friends. Thank you Serge for one of the best tours of our holiday!
