Sydney half day tour - Simon picked us up on time and adjusted tour time because our flight came in late. He took us to get a quick bite to eat. He was so accommodating. We really appreciated his knowledge of Sydney. We had a great time and thank him for showing us Sydney.

Great half day tour of Sydney - Simon paced our time perfectly to cover major highlights, history and natural beauty. We were two families with children, teens and adults. Simon presented Sydney in a fun way with stories, photo spots and yummy Australian treats at the beach. His van was clean, spacious and comfortable for our group of 10. And we appreciated him giving us info and then flexibility to explore for a bit on our own and picking us up in a convenient spot. We all highly recommend any tour with Simon!

Definitely Recommend This Private Tour! - Having a private tour was THE BEST way for our small group to see the sights around Sydney! We were able to customize our tour in an affordable trip with Sydney Scenic Private Tours. My family and I had a wonderful half day tour with our tour guide Simon. We felt very comfortable with him, his driving, and his care for each of us in our group.
He was very knowledgeable about the history of each location we went to, and he even taught us about the Aussie snacks he brought for us to enjoy!
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone visiting Sydney for the first time!
Thanks for taking care of us Simon!

Excellent Tour ... Excellent Guide!!! - Simon's tour was all around fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the city as well as the history of the land. He was accommodating to our two children (6 and 7) and even brought juice boxes and water for the trip as well as picked us up all the way in Bondi right on time. We got a lot done in our 4 hours and didnt feel rushed. I am thoroughly satisfied with the tour and would highly reccomend it!!
He also takes great pictures and knows all the good spots!!

Best Sydney City Tour + Coolest Tour Guide - My family and I, had just finished the Sydney City tour with tour guide, Simon. It was a great and fun experience, as well as very informative. Simon, our tour guide and driver,was very flexible with our schedule, he was also very accommodating, made us all feel comfortable during the whole tour, and taught us alot about the history of each and every place that we went to. He even prepared an Aussie style picnic at Bondi Beach.. with delicious Aussie delicacies! We all felt happy, safe, and thankful that we booked this tour. To Simon, you are the best tour guide mate! Cheers! We will definitely book again soon!
Cheers!

The best of Sydney unveiled by the best tour guide - This tour covers most important sights in Sydney with just half a day, surprisingly cheap and ideal for travelers with limit time and no plan before. Simon will tell you everything you want to know about Sydney (no doubt about his knowledge) and will ensure that you are most comfortable in your trip, including picking up at your hotel and taking great pics. All the places I visited were beautiful and had different stories. Strongly recommend the tour for the amazing experience.

Great tour - This is a half day tour, good for who does not have the whole day available but wants to see the most important city sights in Sydney. Simon pick you up at your hotel and explain a bit about the spots and the history of Sydney and the convicteds. The van is comfortable and Simon is always open to answer any question you may have. I strongly recommend it.
