5.00Daniel took us to iconic sights and interesting neighborhoods, and tried to see that we experienced everything that was mentioned by our group. His narrative was interesting and informative. We never felt hurried.

5.00Our tour with Kori exceeded our expectations. He made sure to make changes/customizations to align the tour with what we wanted to see and do while together. Kori shared and explained a great deal of information about everything that we saw. The amount we were able to see during our time together was incredible and the length of the tour was great. We were able to get a sense of what it would be like to be a local in Sydney, something that is not always easy to get while in a city for a limited amount of time. Everyone in our family appreciated the tour and we also walked away from the day with great photos and a better idea of things we could do with the remaining time we had to spend in Sydney.
Excellent tour!!

Fabulous tour and city

5.00The tour was fabulous. Daniel our tour guide communicated with us the day before, and morning of. Arriving on time and picking us up at our hotel. SUV was very nice. Daniel knew his stuff, was so pleasant to deal with and could alter the tour to accommodate our wishes. It certainly was nice to sit back and have someone else do all the work considering it was not easy to get around Sydney with its undulating narrow streets! I would highly recommend this tour who doesn’t want to be bused around the city with 40 other people. We arrived back at the hotel exactly at 3pm! Thank Daniel for a great day!
