Culture Scouting in Sydney

words by sophie rennard

What better way for discerning travellers or curious locals to explore a city than on foot? It’s a sure-fire way to see all the sights, take in the surrounds and get the most out of the local culture.

Sydney has a way of confusing those that are new to the city, as much as those who have lived here their whole life. The harbour is to the north of the CBD, Bondi to the east and airport is towards the south… But to really understand the city, you’ll need a little more than that to find your feet.

Paving the way for top-notch tours of Sydney is the team behind Culture Scouts Walking Tours, which was created to provide a local view of Sydney’s cultural hubs in a capsule experience blending art, food and guided conversations.

Culture Scout Tours are designed for local wayfarers and international visitors keen to learn and engage with Sydney’s diverse art and culinary scene. Their itineraries traverse routes of galleries, cafés, shops and bars, led by tour guides who share their diverse knowledge in sociable and thought-provoking tour sessions.

With ample options to suit varying interests, tours are broken down into culture-driven excursions, such as the Sydney Street Art Tour or the Indigenous Storytelling tour; or, if you’re enticed by the allure of a certain Sydney neighbourhood, you can choose between the Innerwest Tour, Chippendale & Redfern tour, or the Darlinghurst & Surry Hills walk.

They also offer corporate team-building or special occasion tours (think birthdays and school excursions!). Private tours can be specially tailored to suit your points of interest.

Culture Scouts will give punters the perfect snapshot the city’s modern hotspots and creative gems that they’re sure is the reason why so many people fall in love with Sydney.

So, throw on your walking shoes and let the experts take care of the rest.
