5.00We had the good fortune to hire Sam and Alex for our half-day tour of Sydney. When they were able to arrive early, we were thrilled to start - more time to explore! We quickly became good friends, sharing our stories of travel, while they provided ongoing commentary, edriving, and walkabout - including the rich history of the Rocks district (ask about stone masonry by convicts and clever formulation of mortar), background on Sydney Opera House, Mrs. Macquarie‘s chair, development of parks & gardens, and other areas. It was weekend market day, so it was especially nice to welcome the boots and stop by a pub, Doss House, and more. Our time together felt leisurely, but we took in all the sites requested - and polished off our souvenir shopping. Plus, we enjoyed time at Bondi Beach learning about local beers, and dipping our toes in the surf. We drove through gorgeous neighborhoods, shared pictures of favorite cars, and heard their backstory of life in Brisbane & Sydney - and their passion for surfing. The day was filled with so much laughter. They saved us from the weird selfies by being our photographers. If you want more out of your time in Sydney, you want to hire these gentlemen. It’s one thing to go somewhere and see people, places, and things - but it’s much more delightful to have someone from that locale flesh out its history and culture. Thank you, Sam & Alex!
Super fun half day Sydney experience

5.00We had an amazing experience with The Aus Adventure Co on our half day Sydney Tour. Our pit stop in Sydney meant we had very little time to explore this wonderful city, and our guide Sam certainly did an amazing job in showing us the city's highlights. The day was full of laughs and interesting stories about the countries history. I could not recommend this tour any more!!

5.00Our family had an outstanding tour with Gabi. She kept my kids, ages 8 and 12, engaged the entire time and made us feel completely at home. Gabi brought Sydney’s history to life and guided us to some truly special places we might not have discovered on our own. She answered all our questions with care and made sure the experience was both fun and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney as it inspired us to explore even more of the city’s hidden gems.

5.00Must be the best tour in Sydney. On our family's Half Day Sydney tour with Gabi and Sam we saw the most beautiful sights in Sydney. The beaches were magical, cruising through the beautiful neighbourhoods was a treat and we enjoyed some delish meals and drinks (some great Aussie beers). Not to mention photos of the Opera House that we will forever hold on to. The variety of each next destination is astonishing, an awesome city. Sam and Gabi were extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating tales of the city’s history. We bombarded them with questions to which they effortlessly answered. This is an excellent tour and one of the best we have been on in all our travels globally. So much fun. Thanks again Gabi & Sam for showing us all such a phenomenal time!

5.00This is our second time visiting Sydney, the first time in 2012, so we decided to take Sam’s private tour, to give us the opportunity to learn more about the city and surrounding area. It was excellent and Sam is an extremely engaging young man. We thoroughly enjoyed our four hours with him, and learning about his experiences. He drove us to some of the more affluent areas of Sydney and, of course, to Bondi Beach. We would highly recommend this private, customized tour with Sam.
Excellent tour, great...

5.00The perfect way to see Sydney! Our tour with Sam was the absolute best. First of all he is a great communicator! Which is important when booking any tour. His attention to every small detail of our day was above and beyond. He showed us many places in Sydney that I am sure the typical tour would miss. We stopped for cappuccino and pastries at a local spot near Camp Cove. He is knowledgeable of the Sydney history and customized the tour to our interests. We never felt rushed and learned so much about Sydney and Australia! If you are looking for a personal tour of Sydney - look no further. Thanks for an awesome day!
Best excursion of our trip!

5.00We booked a private tour with Sam and it was the best day I have had on my 15 day Norwegian cruise of Australia and New Zealand! Sam was a wonderful guide and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this trip. If I could, I would give him 10 stars ⭐️
