Benjamin was an excellent tour guide and driver. He showed us many sights. He was able to alter the itinerary to accommodate heavy rain and the preferences of ourselves and the other couple on the tour.

As a solo traveller I definitely recommend this tour! In a city like Sydney it can be overwhelming to decide where to start exploring... This tour covers all the highlights. While driving through the different areas and seeing all the beautiful places from the vibrant city districts to the relaxed eastern suburbs with their stunning beaches Jelle provided us with historical background as well as insider knowledge and anecdotes in a charming and entertaining way. The four hours flew by in the blink of an eye!

On 20 October 2025 we did the “Half-day Guided City Tour of Sydney” with Dingo Tours (Jelle). A perfect tour to see the highlights of Sydney. We were picked up from our hotel and the tour started at Sydney Observatory. This was followed by many other places such as Mrs Maquarie’s Chair, Kings Cross, Watsons Bay, Bondi Beach and Chinatown. Jelle tells many stories about the history and life of the Australians. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone.
