Heritage Walks
Cultural Heritage Tourism is at the cornerstone of our efforts to engage people with their heritage.
Through well-researched heritage walks across the city, we aim to provide locals and tourists alike with an intimate and authentic insight into the city’s heritage. Our walks take you not only to the city’s most iconic places but also unravels its hidden heritage, exploring its lesser-known yet incredibly vibrant neighbourhoods. Each walk is themed and we explore a diverse set of topics from colonial history and architecture to local politics and commercial history.
We’ve also had challenging albeit exciting doors open for us in the recent past, with the opportunity to transform our physical heritage walk experiences into captivating virtual formats. Our virtual heritage walks are specially designed and curated to provide an immersive experience and travel across the city’s notable historic precincts.

“The breadth of topics and places that are covered in a single walk feels cohesive and helps you build a good mental map that can be easily remembered. Really appreciate the thought and effort that has gone into the research."

Ashmitha is a wonderful walk leader, and I love her style of storytelling.
She is passionate and well-read, which makes for a very interesting walk.

Super interesting overall. Loved the souvenirs btw!"
