You will see historic sites and back street neighborhoods that NO other group tour will show you. Get away from the main tourist sites and get to know Sydney!

Cory was a great guide, super knowledgeable and experienced, took us to lots of nice sites around Sydney and he loves Australia! He told us a lot about what it’s like to live in Australia as we drove over around. We highly recommend this tour!

Today was a fantastic day touring Sydney with Joy as our guide. We saw the "Tourist" areas and was brought through the back streets to see cool architecture and little known view points. Joy shared alot of history of Sydney and Australia. She also gave us great tips for restaurants and coffee. If you get Joy as your guide consider yourself lucky.
Great Experience!

Daniel was our tour guide, he was fantastic! Daniel took us on a comprehensive tour of Sydney and was very knowledgeable. He also adjusted the tour to points of interest that we had not visited on our own outside of the tour. Daniel was a wealth of facts and a bit of history buff. We walked away at the end of the tour feeling like this 6 hour journey was well worth the money and adventure. We would highly recommend this small group tour company and Daniel. Even though we had to go to another hotel to start the tour, the communication from the company was very concise and clear to find the closest pick up/drop off location to our hotel.

With only 2 days in Sydney with family, this tour was perfect. Our guide Daniel was exceptional, relaying his knowledge and enthusiasm while taking us to not only the harbor highlights, but outlying beach and scenic areas. On a private tour like this, you learn so much more about the city, its people, culture, and sites than reading from a tour book and walking around on your own. We had multi-generations and Daniel catered to all our interests. The itinerary and quality of our guide made this the best city tour we have ever taken.
Wonderful Day in Sydney

We had booked 5 months ahead. Received confirmation. Made payment. Sent note to tour operator we were at pickup location. Tour operator said they never received our booking from Viator. Total bust what a major screwup.
