Once again, Viatour, and its service providers, were a delight to be with. They are so experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had Julian for our trip. He was a joy to be with and showed us so much, and talked to us so much about life and people in Sydney. He moved here when he was 11 from Italy. We had a great experience! We love Sydney but not enough time as we are only here for 1-1/2 days.

Liz was our driver & guide on this private tour of Sydney - she was amazing! Liz was at our hotel early for pick up, and we had a quick discussion of what to expect, plus we were given the option to tailor the day as we wanted. She was very knowledgeable about Sydney, it's history, culture, and the attractions. We had ample time to explore at each stop, she took photos of us and explained in detail about the landmarks. I'd highly recommend booking a private tour & requesting Liz as the driver/guide!
