5.00Had a great day with Ben, picked us up from the airport in the morning and showed us the sights before dropping us off at the hotel for check-in. Ben’s knowledgeable and I highly recommend a tour with his services.
A perfect way to explore Sydney!

5.00Owner, Ben Barry, picked us up in front of our hotel in his clean and comfortable vehicle and took us around all of the areas in Sydney. This is a perfect way to explore the city without crowds and was just what I needed with a bad back and using a cane. He was able to safely and carefully drive the city, answer any questions, and slowly cruised by or even stop by any points of interest that we wanted. This is his full-time job which supports his family, not something he does part-time. He has owned this business for 20 years. It was easy to contact him and ask questions through the Internet and found him to be quickly responsive to our inquiries. His prices are listed in Australian dollars, not US dollars so this is even more affordable than you might think. He made arrangements for a shared lunch at a lovely restaurant on the water. He took pictures of us and knew the best spots to take great pictures. This is the perfect way to spend your time in Sydney. If you’re only here for a short visit or the perfect way to start an informed longer visit.

5.00A great full day tour personalized to suit my available time while covering the key sites and some beautiful scenery around Sydney city, beaches and suburbs. It included pickup and drop off at my hotel which was convenient for me. I learnt a lot about the history, significance of various iconic suburbs, locations and historical building/monuments on the tour. We also had time to enjoy a great lunch in Manly. A very knowledgeable and flexible tour guide - happy to recommend this tour guide.

5.00We had an incredible day exploring Sydney on this tour! Ben was exceptionally knowledgeable—every stop came with fascinating insights, local history, and great stories that really brought the city to life. His communication was excellent from start to finish: clear, friendly, and always making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to enjoy iconic highlights like the Harbour, Bondi, and the historic Rocks area without ever feeling rushed. We especially appreciated the guide’s ability to answer every question with enthusiasm and detail. If you’re looking for a day trip that’s informative, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable, We highly recommend this tour. It made my visit to Sydney truly memorable!
Very Informative private tour

5.00Ben arranged a wonderful day of sightseeing for us in Sydney. He picked us up at the cruise port for an 8-hour tour which included short walking tours around Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Centennial Park and Bondi Beach where we had lunch. Much of the tour was driving around the city where Ben provided enough history to gain knowledge of all the main attractions as well as lesser-known ones. From White Bay, the Fish Market, Chinese Garden and The Rocks, to Harry’s Café de Wheels, Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, the Gap and the Eastern Suburbs, Ben provided a lot of information that helped us plan the rest of our week in Sydney. This enabled us to determine where we wanted to go back and spend more time seeing our favorite attractions during our week-long visit. I highly recommend utilizing Ben’s expertise to help plan your visit.

5.00Wonderful way to see the highlights of Sydney with Ben who was an exceptional tour guide. There was an excellent balance between driving through parts of the city and walking through parks and beaches. Tour guides make the day and Ben sure made ours, funny, knowledgeable, very informative, we spent a very enjoyable day with him. I would highly recommend this tour anyone who wants to see the highlights of Sydney in a day. Thank you Ben for a great day.

5.00Just spent 3 amazing days with Ben. We toured Sydney and the Bondi Beach area the first day, then headed to the Blue mountains on the second, finishing with the reptile park and central coast on the last day. Ben was a joy to tour with. We saw far more than we could have ever covered on our own. It was the perfect way to see Sydney and the surrounding area in a short time! Highly recommend!
We had an amazing day...
