What an amazing walk

What an amazing walk, super informative and you get to know buildings that you would not visit by yourself. It is an eyeopener on urbanisation and the fun of buildings becoming ‘ alive’ when the architect talks about them. Highly recommend these walks!

Sandstone Sydney

A highly thought-provoking walk around the edge of Sydney harbour, looking at how geology, history, money and architects have shaped the city. An excellent architectural walk. The guide was full of knowledge and enthusiasm. I have come from the walk enriched by the experience.

Vision of a city - Sydney Reimagined

A journey not to be missed SAW 3 - Harbourings was easily one of the best experiences Sydney has to offer. It started out with a sprinkle of rain and a warm group of like minded travellers. Eoghan set the scene for what truly was...More

One of the best architectural tours I've taken

I went on the SAW 6 tour of George Street. Ben was outstanding. He was able to translate not only the architecture but the history, the politics, the geography, and design to the non-specialists. It was informative, interesting and very well thought out. I highly...More
