Sydney Harbour Bridge Tour

This Sydney Harbour Bridge Tour has been carefully curated by a former Bridgeclimb climb leader/guide, having climbed the bridge over 300 times. A self-guided audio tour of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it offers detailed information and Sydney Harbour Bridge facts, as well as entertaining stories and facts about the bridge and its construction.

This tour offers an insider's view into how the bridge was built, its cultural importance, and the sacrifices made to build this impressive structure.

Listen to the stories of The Sydney Harbour Bridge

The self-guided audio+puzzle tour is an entertaining and informative way to learn about the Bridge and admire the views at a fraction of the cost of other similar experiences. Listen to the stories of construction, engineering and the drama that unfolded while the bridge was being built.

Outdoor 'escape-room' style puzzles

As you explore, you will also solve puzzles which will encourage you to interact with your surroundings throughout The Rocks area. It might be deciphering the secret codes hidden in the granite pylons, uncovering the names of workers who fell to their demise during construction, or figuring out the hidden messages on information panels!

Note that puzzles range in difficulty (just like a regular escape room), so they are suitable for both teenagers (8 and up) and adults.  

5 Tour Stops of the Harbour Bridge

1. Sydney Harbour Bridge history, from before it was build to present day
   
2. Detailed information on the engineering and construction
3. Life in The Rocks before the Bridge was built
4. The Bridge's Opening Ceremony and surrounding controversies
5. The cultural impact of the bridge on Sydney and Australia

Note: This tour finishes at the entrance to the Pylon Lookout on the pedestrian walkway. We recommend finishing the tour by going up the pylon for one of the best views in Sydney (pylon entry fee isn't included in this tour price). You can take your own camera and photos up there (unlike when you climb the bridge).

Walking over the Sydney Harbour Bridge is free, yet entry to the pylon lookout at the southern end costs $25 for adults, and $12 for children. We recommend this as it offers great views of the harbour at a fraction of the cost of climbing the bridge.
