Product Description

 Experience Sydney's Only BUS Day Tour and Expedition with our trusted Performers and Tour  Guides who will take you back in time with real live adventures of Australia's Past in a  sightseeing journey across Sydney's most popular loved and popular tourist sites and  attractions as you are entertained in the Historical Knowledge of its past as we bring Sydney  alive back from the 18th Century.   

The Colonial Journey is an amazing BUS Trip Experience and Expedition Day Tour as our trusted Performers take you back in time with real live adventures of Australia's Past and real live performances that make your sightseeing trip of Sydney a truly memorable one.  Not only will you get to see some of Australia's most loved and popular tourist sites and attractions, you get to do it while being entertained. 

Be part of a voyage of discovery where you will travel through the annals of time to the days of the nation‘s fledgling beginnings as a penal colony in our colonial past. You will visit the dawn of European settlement at the Iconic Botany Bay where Lieutenant Cook visited in 1770 and the First Fleet under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip arrived on the 20th January 1778.  Witness actors as they recreate the disappointment of the Bay being not suitable for settlement and the use of Cook’s map for further exploration. Iconic Performances has some unique and rare location sights that no other Travel Tour offers. This is because of our attention to detail and love for Australia’s Historical Existence and Landmarks. Apart from all the normal famous locations, your patrons will also be taken to the magnificent and exclusive locations.

Travel in comfort, sit back relax and let us take you on an Adventure as we go back in time and venture into the historic areas of Circular Quay and the Rocks as your Colonial as your Town Crier tells you about the history and significance of the areas. View the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge from Bennalong Point, the closest and best place to see the Opera House.  Travel through the Streets of Sydney and discover in true realism Governor Phillips Plan of Sydney.  It will shock and amaze you.  Follow the journey of Captain Arthur Phillip and Captain James Cook towards the famous landing point of Botany Bay.  Once at Botany Bay, hold on to your hats, and seats as we bring back to life Captain James Cook and his Marine Sergeant.  Be amused by the British Humour of the Sergeant and the stories from Captain James Cook.

We then take you on the voyage of "The Frenchman's Way" - showing you the amazing watery area the French explorer La Perouse almost settled into.  This is an almost perfect spot for some fantastic photo opportunities.

Get closer to the attractions of Sydney Landmarks as you hear the Reverend Johnston the first Chaplin to the Colony give his sermon of hellfire and brimstone on the spot of the first church service that took place. Then take a short walk to view a part of the original water source “the tank stream” and the story of it.

The fun doesn't stop there.  The Colonial Journey continues through the Early Colonial Days of Sydney through St Phillips Church and the most important discovery of Sydney.

Following a scrumptious Colonial Luncheon in the Sydney’s Oldest Bar, built by Colonial Settlers in 1824, your patrons will continue their informed and entertaining tour through the outstanding sites. 

After a well deserved break, the Colonial Voyage brings you to the very first spot where the Union Flag, known then as the JACK ws flown for the first time in the Colony on the 4th of June, 1801.  Lieutant William Dawes, a Marine Officer will show you the ways of recording weather patterns as was done in the 19th century in Awe of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as he walks you directly under the most famous Sydney Landmark - The Sydney Harbour Bridge.  Be prepared for the possibility of an exciting battle of Canon Balls between the French and Russian who would almost invade the Colony.  Listen to what happened and why Sydney is what it is today.

Commissioned by Governor Macquarie in 1812, you are transported by the 73rd Regiment on Parade to the Hyde Park Barracks and the famous Rum Hospital.  That is correct Sydney's oldest RUM HOSPITAL!  You will be surprised as to what this RUM HOSPITAL was used for and what it is now.  Laugh with funny antics of the Reverend as your journey comes to stop as you enjoy a delicious lunch near old Colonial Cottages and eat a Colonial Meal from Sydney's Oldest Licensed Tavern.  This is also a terrific moment to venture into the Old Historical shops and tourist places.

Be part of the Forgotten Neighbourhood and sit back and relax as you are taken into the final Colonial journey of the Black Velvet Band, with music, flair and a story to tell your friends back at home.

Stand on the spot where Sydney’s first goal stood and hear the convict’s story of the goal as you witness the flogging by the cat-o-nine. Add to the excitement a short distance down the road as you are placed in the spot where the first man and woman hangings took place in the early colony. Hear their ghosts as the convicts recall their story. The tour ends as the patrons delight to the cheers, excitement and side-splitting laughter of the Convict Wedding. After an incredible day of informed treats, exciting rare and exclusive locations to take ample photos of and the realness of live historical performing actors to bring the History of Sydney alive, the patrons will rest easy in the comfort of the Air-conditioned coaches as we transport you back to their specific hotels.

There is so much to see, so much to do and all this is done in a true realistic experience that will bring Sydney and its history to LIFE right in front of your eyes.

    Management Reply to Review Hi Tony, As the event supervisor I am happy to hear that the show and the quality and professionalism of the show. We always try to maintain a high standard of our shows as a large production company. Our Show prices for schools is heavily reduced to allow many schools to be able to afford the shows. I will definitely forward your suggestion to our accounts department. I would like to note that according to our records on your booking, the Tax Invoice was emailed quite a few times to your schools accounts person who informed us that they did not receive the email and this is why the Invoice was Faxed. However even after faxing the Invoice and the reminders, I see the account was not paid in full until the 4th reminder which included the admin fees. This is an unfortunate situation, however, we did try to remind your accounts team of the due date and balance multiple times and payment was not made or a request for a payment extension. I am sorry to hear that you experienced this, but I can see that we did try to help by adjusting a portion of the late fees.

    Contacting Iconic Performances and being advised of what type of show we would require and booking it was excellent The show was brilliant and very informative. The students loved the interactive nature and were able to learn in a fun and engaging way. Unfortunately there was some confusion regarding payment. This was mainly centered on us needing a tax invoice but only receiving a booking invoice initially. There were a number of queries from SJA and Iconic Performances that lasted for a few weeks. In addition there was quite a number of admin fees added onto the initial price which totaled just over $200. Deposit was paid on time. We received the tax invoice for the remaining amount via fax. This was then paid. A suggestion would be to email the tax invoice instead of fax. The show you put together is a very professional and very well thought out production which captivated the audience and meant they learnt quite a-lot. I would recommend Iconic Performances to anyone, just need to ensure accounts department runs smoothly. Cheers, Tony Barnes

    The children felt like they were "in the moment" when stories were told. They thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for the various acting parts. It was a fun, humorous performance and the costumes and props were superb. Thank-you for giving the grade 5's such a memorable show..
