Really enjoyed our morning sightseeing tour with Mario. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was great to get an overview of the city and surrounding area. Especially enjoyed the stop at Bondi Beach. Also enjoyed the small group format. Made it so much easier to get on and off the vehicle. Enjoyed the cruise as well although the bay was quite choppy making it difficult to move around. Food was just ok. The tour guide had lots of information in regards to the area. Would definitely recommend AEA tours

My friends from overseas were happy with this tour. I booked this for them instead of driving them around. I wanted them to have a professional guide to take thrm around Sydney. They were impressed with the guide. They told the guide was kind and knew his stuff well. The tour itself ?they said was wonderful. It covered a lot of sites within Sydney. They also loved the Harbor cruise. It was a good way to see the iconic sites of the city. Food on the ship was also great, they said. Overall, this tour is highly recommended. It might. be a bit pricier but my friends said it was worth it.

Great views and experience of high end residential areas. Guide was friendly and accommodating. Dropped us off closer to the hotel than needed, which was nice.
