  • What should I wear?

    General sight-seeing wear is perfect. We suggest wearing any clothes that are comfortable for you to walk in - including comfortable shoes - on our walking tours. Please note that the Australian sun can be very harsh. On warm days, please cover up as much as possible and wear a hat and sunscreen at all times.

  • Where do your walking tours start?

    All of our daily walking tours, including each of our Sydney, Paddington and Kings Cross walking tours, start at Circular Quay - within seconds of Sydney's Circular Quay railway station and ferry, bus and taxi terminals. You'll find your Bounce Walking Tours guide outside the Australian Travel Specialists booking centre, directly opposite Wharf 6, Circular Quay. They'll be easy to find in their bright blue "Bounce" t-shirts. If you'd prefer to meet your guide in Kings Cross or Paddington, please contact us to arrange.

    The starting point for our Luxury Walks, Custom Walks and Student/Large Group/Special Interest walks is by arrangement.

  • Where do your walking tours conclude?

    Our Sydney Sights Walking Tour concludes on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay.

    Our Kings Cross Walking Tour concludes at Kings Cross Hotel, William Street, Kings Cross and our Paddington Fashion Walk concludes at the Paddington Town Hall, Oxford Street, Paddington. At the end of both tours your guide ensures your safe journey back to the city if you wish (included in the price of your ticket), or can direct you on to more activities and sights within Kings Cross and Paddington.

    Our Luxury Walks conclude where you like!

  • What if I want to do something a little differently?
