Did this after a full day excursion to the Blue Mountains so as tired as I was I wouldn’t have missed this night tour for anything. My guide, Scott, was very personable and stock full of local history and insights. You haven’t fully seen Sydney until you’ve seen how beautiful it is at night. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Scott was absolutely brilliant and very easy to get on with He took us to places we had not even thought about (as well as the usual tourist spots) and to the prefect locations for the best pictures – he was a mine of information providing us with the history behind the places we visited with him Nothing was too much trouble for Scott, and he left us with unforgettable memories of Sydney which we will always treasure Thank you Scott

We only had a short time in Sydney, so our excursion, Sydney by Night, was perfect. Scott picked us up at the pier, even a little early. We were able to view the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, as well as Mrs. McQuarries chair. The Harry's Meat Pie food truck was cool, the old pub was a delight. Thanks for the great trip, Scott!

This was a fun tour! Scott is warm, funny and truly loves his hometown. Highly recommend this tour, so much better than a bus tour any day. Thanks Scott for a lovely time.

I've always had a soft spot for privately owned businesses simply because of the personalized service. I couldn't have chosen a better guide to show us Sydney at night. Scott took us to a side neighborhood before the police closed down the streets where we were able to see a dry run of the New Year's Eve festivities at the Harbor....sort of ike a back-stage pass to a major event. Turns out Scott also enjoys a good ghost story. He brought us to a known haunted pub where we shared stories. A must-do indeed.

Don't you wish everyone who offered tours was professional, reputable, knowledgeable, funny, authentic, interesting, and friendly? So do we! And that's exactly what we got with Scott on this marvelous tour of Sydney by night. My husband and I have traveled all over the world and taken lots of tours and excursions, but nothing has compared to our experience with Scott. He is not only an authentic Aussie, but he's also an experienced traveler himself--so he knows how to do it right. We enjoyed taking pictures of the various sights (Scott knows exactly where to go to get the most iconic views), but even if we hadn't brought our cameras, it wouldn't matter because Scott captured the experience for us himself on his camera phone (really exceptional quality). What a nice touch--no need for those awful selfies! Scott conveniently picked up and dropped us off at our hotel, and he was right on time. He provided us with contact info & specifics on his vehicle so we would know what to look for. We enjoyed our dinner at Harry's and a drink to round out the evening at the pub. Our only regret is that we didn't have a few weeks to enjoy the rest of Australia with Scott. We strongly recommend this tour and any others with Scott and his wife Julia. Even though we didn't meet her, I'm sure she is as delightful as Scott. Best tour ever--don't miss it!

This was absolutely fantastic. Scott picked me up at my hotel, in a very comfortable car, and took me around the famous spots. Sydney by night is beautiful, and with all the info he gave during the tour extra enjoyable! We drove over the Harbour Bridge, with its beautiful lamps, visited the famous pie stand and ended at one of the oldest pubs in Sydney for a drink. I highly recommend to all to take the tour! It's on the top of my list of my days in Sydney!

I’m so glad I decided to take this tour. Everything looks so different in the dark and to be given the chance to be driven around and see the landmarks lit up was beautiful. Scott was a great host - easy to talk to, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend putting aside an evening to do this tour. Cheers Scott ☺️

We thoroughly enjoyed our night tour of Sydney with Scott! A delightful man with lots of local history and unique experiences. Went well above and beyond finding us what we really wanted! He took some amazing photos and shared them with us too!

I booked this tour on a whim (I typically have a minimum review count to verify trustworthiness) and I am so glad that I did!! Scott gave us a professional, personal, and memorable tour of the city! You can tell that he has a lot of passion for the city and cared a lot to make sure that we had a good visit both during and after his tour, complete with history facts and recommendations on things to do the rest of our trip. Absolutely loved my time with this tour! I wouldn't say that this trip is sufficient to say you've experienced all of Sydney, but it serves a great niche that other tours (e.g. boat, blue mountain, wine, bus) dont serve in the slightest! 10/10 must do.
