Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went on this walk on our last day in Australia. I wish we had gone earlier so that I could do it again. Amanda was brilliant and I found the tour so informative. I felt very emotional as so much of what she said is exactly how I feel the world should be. I am probably too old now to make the long journey from Scotland again but if the opportunity should arise, this tour would be first on my list! Thank you!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with tour guide Donya. Donya was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable about the First Nations culture, specifically around the immediate area. Would highly recommend!

The history of The Aboriginal People is soulful, intimate, and enlightening. Amanda, our guide,told the history thru her heart and heritage. The awareness of my own shortcomings about Mother Earth were drawn from this tour. The art of this culture tells a story! Amanda, thank you, again! PS. Amanda, Hope you enjoy your painted rock. 😁
Hope you enjoy your tour as much as we did.

I was one of two people who attended this 90 minute story telling adventure. Our guide was delightful, in spite of the rain. She was from a multi-generational Aboriginal family and sprinkled her story with many interesting insights. She showed us things an average tourist would walk by and miss, like the shoreline markers from 1800’s; the original docking area under a hotel, where the tide flows in and out; tree and stone carvings from previous generations, and various uses from the trees and plants that made food, shelter and wellness for her people.

Interesting and insightful tour. It was the perfect amount of info to give me a basis of knowledge about aboriginal culture in Australia, but also left me feeling like there is much more to notice and learn. I liked that some basic info was interspersed with specific examples of plants and animals found in The Rocks area itself. Amanda was welcoming and approachable - which is important if you have questions about a subject that is not heard about in mainstream culture. Most of the info about The Rocks as it is now is easy to find online or in a book, so I found this tour special because I would not have found that info anywhere else.

I wanted to learn more about the aboriginal culture of Australia, and this was a perfect start. Our aboriginal tour guide gave us an introduction to aboriginal beliefs, family ties, language, cultural connections, lifestyle, relation to the land, animals and plants, and so much more while going on a walking tour through the Rocks.

We went as a family with a teenager, unsure how he would find the tour, but he was captivated, as were we, and we all loved it! Amanda was so engaging and the history was fascinating. The interactive nature of the talk really helped us to understand the stories and cultural heritage aspects. Would highly recommend this brilliant tour.

What is the pace of this tour? I walk slowly using a walking cane so if the pace is quick I would not be able to keep up.
