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.

This was my first tour after arriving in Sydney, and I really enjoyed how informative and relaxed it was. In the morning, we went on a scenic drive around the city while our guide introduced us to different neighborhoods, famous landmarks, and shared interesting stories about Sydney. We stopped at several beautiful viewpoints and spent some time at Bondi Beach, which was a great way to start the day. The guide was a long-time local and very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and gave helpful tips for making the most of our stay in Sydney. For lunch, I joined the harbour cruise, which was another highlight of the day. The food and drink options were excellent, and the commentary provided interesting historical background as we sailed past key sights. We also got some amazing photo opportunities of the Opera House from the water. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour that gave me a great introduction to Sydney.
Great day, the guide was very nice.

We were very fortunate to have Mario as our guide. He was not only informative, but also funny which certainly breaks up a long ride. He showed us things from inside the bus. He stopped the bus to show us thinhs if interest. He he told us that there was a path that was not steep and about 90 stairs. He was also right about that. This man exemplifies everything that you company wants to achieve. Please give Mario more than just a path on the back! Award Mario with a raise and/or let him teach the other tour guide/ and get a stipend. He was one of a kind and made that day for us in Australia memorable.
