We had a great time on the City Highlights Tour!

5.00Great tour and highly recommend! A wonderful way to see the city and get an understanding of where all the major sites are located. Daniel was entertaining and informational without sounding like he was reading from Wikipedia. Good insight about Sydney, places to try, and he was awesome about answering our numerous questions.

5.00A top day out. Daniel was most informative and took us to some lovely ‘secret’ places around Sydney harbour and surrounds. The day’s pace was excellent, even including two short, scenic and memorable walks: one across the iconic harbour bridge and another on the eastern beaches. A real taste of Sydney life. Definitely recommend 🤩
Nice overview of Sydney...

5.00Nice overview of Sydney and some of the nearby beaches. Be sure to take/use sunscreen and additional water. Lunch wad a bit layer in the day's schedule, so you might need to take a snack as well. Tour guide Daniel was excellent. Very knowledgeable of the areas. Wish lunch was provided earlier so we could have spent a bit more time at Bondi Beach. Too little time to squeeze in lunch and taking in sights or even getting down to the water.
Top Notch tour.

5.00If you’re lucky enough to get Daniel as your tour guide, you’re in for a treat. Nice guy who grew up here and really knew a lot about the area and many things local. We had a full bus load and one person had a mobility scooter which Daniel had to put away and take out at every stop. He always had a smile on his face and was happy to help. I would suggest this tour to anyone who was an overall view of a lot of the city. It would probably take a month to truly check this place out but this was a pleasant surprise. The staff also was text friendly and checked to make sure you were in the right spot for pickup which I thought was nice. Some of the other tours we took here wouldn’t do that.

5.00Our guide Leisa arrived early and communicated via text to keep us informed and ready for our tour of Sydney. The tour was informative and gave us a perfect overview of the city and hit all the highlights. She made the tour interesting and we enjoyed the time spent with her and her lunch suggestion. She is a local and gave us a true feel for the city. I would highly recommend her for this tour.

Outstanding Experience with Daily Sydney Tours

5.00We hired Daily Sydney Tours for a private six-hour tour, and it was absolutely outstanding. Our guide, Daniel, was exceptional from start to finish. I originally chose this company based on the glowing Google reviews about Daniel, and they were 100% accurate. He took us all over Sydney and showed us places we never would have seen if we’d booked a tour through the cruise ship. The experience felt personal, relaxed, and incredibly informative. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional tour guide in Sydney, I highly recommend Daily Sydney Tours—you won’t be disappointed.
