Cultural and Theme Tours

Walk into Australia’s hidden history.

She Shapes History believes the past isn’t confined to textbooks – it lives in the streets beneath your feet. Their guided walking tours in Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne uncover the extraordinary stories of the women who shaped Australia’s political, social, and cultural life.

For too long, women’s contributions have been sidelined or forgotten. She Shapes History is here to change that. Their tours bring history to life through the lens of fearless, formidable, and often overlooked women who challenged the status quo and reshaped the nation.

From suffragettes and social reformers to artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, She Shapes History offers a fresh feminist take on Australia’s past — one that’s as empowering as it is enlightening.

Whether guests are wandering Canberra’s corridors of power, tracing feminist landmarks in Sydney, or navigating Melbourne’s cultural laneways, these experiences go far beyond the usual history tour. They’re immersive, inclusive, and unforgettable.

She Shapes History is rewriting the narrative — one woman, one story, one step at a time.
