We had such a nice time on this tour! Nigel was incredibly knowledgeable about Sydney and its history, sharing so many interesting facts and stories along the way. It gave us a much deeper appreciation of the city. We also appreciated that it wasn’t too heavy on walking, which was perfect since we had already explored Sydney on foot earlier in our trip. The pacing was just right, and the views were beautiful. A great way to see and learn about Sydney in just a few hours!
Even though it poured...

The tour was great, tour guide was very nice very knowledgeable informative with each stop. Really enjoyed the tour and I rate it 5 stars. The only thing I didn’t like was we were picked up at the hotel and was dropped off at least 5 blocks away from the hotel and we we’re supposed to be dropped off at the hotel

Vic was a wonderful tour guide , very knowledgeable on the history of Sydney and all the different neighborhoods. He was also able to suggest great places to take trips and local places to eat and drink. His easy going , humorous tour was a great way to start our stay in Sydney. I would recommend the morning tour as it is less busy than the afternoon ones as there are many other tour companies going to the same destinations
