A Fun Way to Get Acquainted with Sydney!

My husband and I had a spectacular time exploring Sydney (and the surrounding area) with our tour guide, Daniel. He shared "heaps" (inside joke) of stories about the the history of the city, as well as the various landmarks that we visited. We appreciated learning about the city from a Sydney native. And what's more is that Daniel's personality is PERFECT for this job; he is perfectly Australian and we loved it! Sydney Harbour Bridge is a well-known landmark, and now we can say that we walked and rode over it, as well as walked under it. It was also nice to discover some hidden gems like Kirribilli and Watson's Bay. These are places that we would have never happened across on our own. Lunch at Doyle's was a particular highlight! In fact, I am dreaming of their fish and chips even now. An excellent choice by our tour guide! My recommendation: take the tour. Take. The. Tour. It is worth every penny...between you and me, we would have paid more. :)
Excellent experience in...

Excellent experience in every aspect. Our guide Daniel was an amazing source of local information. One of the best tours we've ever had. Think of the experience as a narrative of past and present. We toured all the obvious and essential tourist attractions but we also got a comprehensive tour of some of the finest neighborhoods in Sydney. The tour was well timed and we were given plenty of opportunities for walking on our own. We never felt rushed and we were impressed with the depth and breadth of Daniel's narration. Daniel was attentive in every way and his fund of knowledge was impressive. Overall A+ for an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour!

Wonderful tour! Daniel was amazing! Daniel took us to all the best photo spots and gave us all the history about Sydney. On a private tour we get time to take as many pictures as we want!
Great way to start your visit to Sydney!

This is a great experience! Take this tour as one of the first things you do after arrival in Sydney. You will then know what activities/attractions you’d like to investigate more in depth and will give you a great idea of the ‘lay of the land’. Daniel our guide was awesome!! He was a fountain of information and helped make the rest of our time in Sydney better planned out! Nothing like having a local who loves his tour job to answer questions and give great recommendations of what to do and where to eat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Magical day in Sydney

Perfect day touring our one day in Sydney. Daniel, our guide, made sure we saw every important place in the city and shared lots of personal experiences and tips along the way. This is a wonderful small group tour to book if you are in Sydney.
