Introducing: QT Insider Tours – Stories in the Walls

Where history whispers, and Victoria spills the tea.

There’s Sydney history… and then there’s QT Sydney history: the kind that lives under the tiles, lingers in the stairwells, and struts through the corridors in 1930s fonts.

Step behind the velvet rope for QT Insider Tours – Stories in the Walls, a backstage wander hosted by our longtime insider, Victoria. She’s the keeper of secrets, the protector of old-school glamour, and the unofficial mayor of Market Street’s golden era (self-appointed, widely endorsed).

This is more than a hotel tour. It’s a deep dive into the art, architecture, fashion, film and delightful oddities that shaped two iconic buildings — State Theatre and Gowings — and transformed Sydney’s theatre and film scene in the 1920s and ’30s.

By the time you’re done, you won’t just know QT Sydney.
You’ll feel it — the legacy, the craftsmanship, and the absolute devotion poured into preserving these heritage hearts of the city.

Walk through the past. Leave with a little magic on your sleeve.
