A Fun Tour with a Great Guide (Who Should be a History Teacher)

5.00We always like to take a tour like this on our first day to try to get our bearings and learn a little about the city’s history and culture. Our guide Helder nailed it. We had a wonderful drive around Sydney seeing neighborhoods, statues and buildings to beaches. And we learned much Australian history - we can prove we did as we were quizzed and passed. Helder’s fun style made the afternoon fly by and his pride in his country/history was something to be respected.
Great tour with a fun guy!!

5.00Helder’s knowledge of Sydney’s history and his ability to answer questions about Sydney taught us and made it fun along with what he has discovered. He also wanted to get to know us. I would definitely recommend Helder for your tour guide always!! Now I will never be able to forget who Arthur Phillip was, 😁😁!!
