Join one of our knowledgeable and expert guides for a tour of Convict Sydney.

From the site of the first Government House, a place of important early contact between Aboriginal people and the colonists, to the Rum Hospital (now The Mint) and the Hyde Park Barracks, which housed male convicts and was the epicentre of the colony’s convict system.

Follow in the footsteps of the thousands of convicts who were marched from Sydney Cove up to the Hyde Park Barracks through the Governor’s Domain for processing.

Hear stories of convicts’ successes and failures, punishments and rewards, as you immerse yourself in the landscape of early Sydney.

The tour includes access to sites we manage: the Museum of SydneyThe Mint and the Hyde Park Barracks.
