Laid back and customized tour! - Ben picked us up at our hotel. We had a previous tour and he wanted to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see. So he customized a route for us! We saw Sydney In the best way, neighborhoods, swimming bays, historic buildings and areas. We heard that the Opera house had a bar and we wanted to end our tour there. Ben dropped us off and we got to our hotel later. Book this tour with Ben!

A "Must Do" Experience! - Our tour operator was the personification of excellent! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly without being cheesy, on time, and once again, let me say excellent! He was our first real contact in Sydney. Our high expectations for a too short experience in Sydney were more than met by the tone he set for this trip. I would highly recommend this tour to any and all future travelers to Sydney.
