Had a fabulous and very full day taking in the sites and stories around Sydney. Charlie is a delightful guide, super friendly, expert in his local knowledge, and wanting and able to craft a day's plan according to the interests of the client. He made me feel like a family member who flew into town so that he could show off the place he calls home. Could not be more pleased with the experience. Thanks, Charlie!

Was a brilliant experience learning about the history of Australia and Sydney from Scott! Even though the weather was against us, we spent the day driving around the city to absorb the vibe of places such as the Rocks and Bondi beach. Scott knew amazing view points for us to take nice clicks. He made sure the group (which included an infant and 2 seniors) were comfortable and engaged through his entire sharing. Would highly recommend the team at Your Sydney Guide for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Sydney and its surroundings!

We throughly enjoyed our Sydney city tour with Scott! We had a group of 8 ranging in age from 9 months to 71 years old and Scott was a pro at making sure all of our needs and interests were met! I loved the convenience of being picked up and dropped off right at our AirBnB. Scott is so kind and personable, he really adds a dimension to this tour that you don’t get with large tour companies. He showed us lots of highlights of Sydney- most we would have had difficulty finding on our own! His knowledge and pride of his country and city were a true delight! Amongst all the normal Sydney highlights he even took us to a famous food trailer for a meat pie and to the beautiful Bondi beach! You cannot go wrong if you book your tour Your Sydney Guide! I cannot think of one way that this tour could be improved- definitely 10/10.

Our guide Scott was affable and knowledgeable, crafting an itinerary to the outskirts of the city with some great view points. Due to a change in our airline schedule, he accommodated carrying our luggage and driving us to the airport earlier than we had expected, which was super helpful and saved us having to go back to the hotel and calling an Uber. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking to see more of the further sites of the Sydney area.

We had a fantastic tour with Charlie. Saw all the places you see pictures of and read about, plus many hidden gems that only a local might know to show you. We would recommend this tour as a great beginning overview to your time in Sydney.

If you’re reading this, look no further! Best private tour we’ve ever had. Scott had something interesting to say about every stop we were at. Truly made our experience personal and we were able to check off so many things in one day. We loved our tour so much that we booked the Blue Mountains tour with him the next day. He gets booked fast so if you see something you want to do, book it NOW! Thanks Scott for making our first trip to Sydney absolutely memorable.

Scott was a fantastic guide for this private tour. I have discovered very beautiful areas of Sydney like the famous beaches of Manly and Bondi, Paddington, the Rocks, Taronga zoo including also a tour with the ferry in the amazing bay. I spent a very nice day. Guide to recommend.

Outstanding tour!! We booked this tour to not only fill in the time till we could check in to our accommodations but also to see a bit of Sydney upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Charles. He asked many questions at the beginning about what we liked to do and see and totally catered to that. He also shared tips on what to do with the rest of our time in Sydney. We highly recommend booking a tour (or two) when you visit Sydney!
