Great Tour Rain or Shine - This is one of the best tours to do if you only have a couple of days to spend in Sydney. We're happy to have been matched with a professional, kind & knowledgeable tour guide named Olivia. We were so unlucky with the pouring rain throughout the day but that didn’t stop us from exploring the city and still saw a lot inspite of the weather. Olivia was exceptionally skilled in showing the best sights around Sydney and best of all she showed us how to use the Ferry and light rail. We had been here decades ago but Olivia made it easy for us to reminisce the past & compare the present. | highly recommend to give this tour a try and it will be worth your time.

A good walk about Sydney - Our walking city tour with Ross was outstanding. We found Sydney to be a big city with a rich history that had far more of a frontier feel than you might imagine. The complex history of Australia and Sydney were covered thoroughly and fairly by Ross. Additionally, his knowledge of today’s Sydney and its offerings were useful.

Great start to our honeymoon - We did a Sydney walking tour with Peter on our first day after arriving, and it was the perfect way to orient ourselves with the city. Peter was a great guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to follow—and he helped us get our bearings right away. We’re so glad we started our trip with this tour and would highly recommend Peter to anyone visiting Sydney.

Great Downtown Walking Tour - My experience has been that the guide makes or breaks the tour, so I was fortunate to get a great tour guide. Ross was retired and had lived in the area his whole life, so he was very knowledgeable. If I return I will definitely do the same tour again.

A Good Start to First Australian Trip - We booked this tour for the afternoon of our arrival. It’s a great way to begin to get acclimated to the time difference. Peter’s tour began right on time. He met us at our hotel, which was very convenient. We walked and used public transportation, which was helpful to know how to use for our trip. He showed us some of the major sites, and included historical facts and interesting stories. He also answered our questions fully about social and political life in Australia. The tour was a good introduction to Sydney, and Australia.
