Great Introduction to Sydney!

5.00Peter was a fabulous guide and packed a ton into our short amount of time without us ever feeling rushed. Love that we took the lightrail and ferry. We learned a ton and feel very comfortable making our way around the city on our own.
Wonderful walking tour of Sydney with a visit to Manly Beach

5.00My 22 year old daughter and I had a wonderful 5+ hour tour with Peter on a beautiful Sunday. This was our first full day of a week in Sydney, and it was the perfect tour, as he showed us the city and how to navigate public transportation. He took us to Manly Beach on a walk with gorgeous vistas. It was the perfect mix of Australian history, learning the city, and exploring one of the beach towns. I highly recommend Peter if you are planning a day tour of Sydney.
Great Experience

5.00A walking, tram, and ferry tour with Peter is a must. We felt we got to see many hidden gems and got to know the city.

5.00John had given our day a lot of thought from where to catch a bus for the most direct route to Coogee Beach to the path we would take along the coast to Bondi Beach. We did everything we hoped for. Saw beaches, amazing cliffs and crashing waves, incredible surfers. We had lunch at icebergs overlooking the swimming pool at Bondi Beach. We caught a bus to Watson Bay and then a ferry back. John gave us an opal card and then showed us where we needed to meet our excursion for the next day. We used the trams together. John was patient with us when we were stopping very frequently to take video and pictures of the stunning scenery.
