Worth Doing! Great Tour - We're a Sydney based team of 8 ladies and we really enjoyed this tour of little known, amazing women in Sydney's history. Thank you Kathryn, your passion, knowledge and story telling was just fabulous. What a great tour! What a great way to see our great city!

Fascinating and insightful tour of Sydney - This is a brilliant and thoughtfully crafted tour exploring women's contribution to Sydney. My guide Roxy was well-informed, engaging and effortlessly wove in contributions from the group.

A walking, talking tour celebrating the women in our history - All the stuff we weren’t taught in school and then some! Especially wonderful hearing of the role of women in our history, brought to life by the stories and anecdotes of our great guide, Kathryn.

Truly Badass Women - It was wonderful to be in the company of a group of smart and knowledgeable women and gratifying to have two men in our group too. Jess was a fabulous guide, enthusiastic, informative and friendly. It was a real treat to discover the amazing women of Sydney who have been so influential in our city and yet so invisible. We can't be what we can't see and She Shapes History showed us some amazing women who have made Sydney the city it is today.

Informational, accessible, and joyful - worth the booking! - This was such a lovely tour! Our group included people both very familiar with Canberra and new to Canberra, all of whom learned new things about the LGBTQIA+ history of the city. Our tour guide Zev was knowledgeable and funny, and ensured the tour was accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, knowledge, and abilities. It was exciting to hear how the tour is evolving with even more information from historical archives - clearly worth another go in future! Thank you to Zev and She Shapes History for a great experience.

Queer tour review ❤️ - Such a friendly and fun group on the tour and Zev was such an amazing tour guide. I learnt so much and I feel like there’s a lot more to learn. Thanks so much for creating such an inclusive tour that allows gender diverse as well as cis people to learn more about LGBTQI+ community and what it was like back then and how far we came today. Be out and be proud !! Thanks She Shapes History. I’ll def recommend to my friends and family.

One of the best walking tours I’ve done - Great tour with an absolutely fantastic guide. I’ve taken lots of walking tours and this is one of my favourites. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about Canberra’s incredible queer history.

Hidden History Comes Alive - A lot of Canberra history is 'big', public moments in big, public places. This tour dealt with events at a much more intimate, human scale and events that were often (but not always) hidden from public view. The lack of such big backdrops requires a skilled storyteller, and with Zev we had that and much more. They brought a passion and connection to the subject. Not everyone can breathe life into a window, a park, a tennis court or the site of a building long gone. Zev was able to do just this. While this is a must do for anyone interested in queer history, it is just as fascinating for people who want to know about the parts of history that are less well known but every bit as interesting.

Super interesting, fascinating and relevant queer tour - Such a great walking tour around Canberras inner north. The guide was super knowledgeable about everything and entertaining and open about their personal experiences. Would definitely recommend!
