Family tour in Sydney. - Lily was amazing, loved her knowledge and sense of humor! She had a great knowledge of Sydney and I don’t think we could stump her with the random questions along the way.

Excellent tour with Lily - The tour was a really interesting overview of Sydney's history, with lots of notable buildings included (which we would have otherwise missed). Lily was an excellent tour guide, passionate about her city and its history. She also gave us lots of useful recommendations about activities,and places to visit

Sydney Walking Tour - This 2.5-hour walking tour was the perfect way to explore Sydney! Our guide, Lily, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great stories about the city’s history and hidden gems. The pace was comfortable, and we saw both famous landmarks and off-the-beaten-path spots. Highly recommend for first-time visitors or anyone wanting a deeper look at Sydney!

Very informative - The top walking tour was at a good pace. Everyone would be able to do it. Lillie was funny when needed, but she knew all of the facts and she made it very interesting. She let us know when there would be a bathroom greak
