We enjoyed our tour of Susannah Place. Jeff was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. I now know the history of thie building and the types of families that lived here. I assumed the apartments had been home to poor Irish families but found out this wasn't true. This particular part of The Rocks was home to middle class families.

Very interesting, despite half the cottages being under restoration and not open for a visit. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide took us around. You do have to book if you want to be guaranteed a spot on a tour at your preferred time.

One of the best guided museum tours I’ve been on.
The lead guide was engaging, knowledgeable and a very good story teller (drawing on oral histories with previous tenants and historical records dating back to 1844).
A great way to spend an hour exploring the social history of The Rocks, the lives of ordinary people, and how this row of houses was saved from the wrecking ball and is now being faithfully conserved by Museums of History NSW and opened to the public.

This is a guided tour visit due to the size of the place. The guide was knowledgeable about the history of the place and explained about the various families who had lived there over the years.
