Max Burns-McRuvie

Hello, I'm Max Burns-McRuvie, a Sydney crime historian and owner of the tour company Journey Walks.

This tour will explore the early origins of Sydney's historic maritime village known as The Rocks. Together we will unpack its notorious past, heritage architecture, and curious characters. Expect fascinating stories of prisoners, sailors, soldiers, whalers, smugglers, street gangs, slums, tunnels, taverns,  mysteries, and murders.

The tour will take just over 2 hours and will include local recommendations for refreshments stops.

**What is Around?** Around is an online platform that lets you take interactive walking tours without downloading any app. Each tour is created by a local expert who prepared an itinerary and audio content. An internet connection is required to ensure a smooth experience.
