Loved learning new things about Sydney, stops were awesome. A drink with Wonder Mama to end fabulousGreat activity. WonderMama knew everyone and the history of every building. They made sure to stop at places and give us the background of each building and the surrounding areas. One of my favorite events in Sydney.

What a hoot, the FABULOUS Wonder Mama walking tour of Oxford Street was simply amazing. She shared so much history of Oxford and Darlinghurst which was so interesting to learn. Her humor made the tour so much fun - I’d describe it as fun, campy and very entertaining. She really does show her passion for the community and all the meaningful businesses that is rooted in history for the GLBT movement in Sydney. She is super excited for the city to host World Pride over Mardi Gras - and i know her tours will sell out quickly during that time so be sure to book early. Don’t miss out on a fun tour!
