Great overview of the area and some amazing views of Sydney! - A great intro into the area. A perfect way to begin a trip to Sydney. We had Ben pick us up at the airport and used this tour as a kick-off to our trip. It was ideal. Highly recommend

JAM PACKED FUN DAY - The 4 of us (two couples) let Ben take the wheel and guide us through the entire Northern Beaches. We hiked in parks and learned so much about Australia and its peoples! Lunch was reserved by Ben at Manly Beach and we enjoyed the food, view and easy flow of the tour. Ben has such a friendly manner about him. He has also had extensive travel experience throughout the world and he can relate to just about anything that you'd ask of him. We would love to return to Sydney and take all of his tours offered. Outstanding guide and tour!!

Very informative and a good use of time - I landed at Sydney in the morning and Ben promptly picked me up to go tour around Sydney for about 4-5 hours. It was beautiful to see all the beaches and landmarks. Ben was very informative and took his time patiently explaining things. Highly recommended.

Make the most of your special time in Sydney - Visiting Sydney is a once in a lifetime experience for us. We wanted to make the most of it & boy did we choose the right tour! This one day tour gave us AMAZING sights and secret spots that we hadn't seen mentioned in all the usual travel sites. So much brilliant info from Ben the tour guide helped us plan the rest of our week in Sydney too. We had the best holiday of our lives and this day in Manly was the highlight for sure. Thank you thank you. Everyone out there, I just say do right by yourself!! Book a dream day out with these guys.
