Lily, the tour guide, was really happy to explain and took a decent break to keep us going at everyone’s pace! He is a very gentle person and is a great tour for solo travellers as it is a small group tour!
Brilliant tour...brought alive with plenty of stories and less frequented locations!

We've visited Sydney quite a number of times and our guide, Lilly, took us to streets and sites we'd never seen; and told us stories and history we'll long remember. Lilly was extremely knowledgeable and very willing to answer questions. Whilst walking she also suggested other places of interest to visit during our four day stay. Thank you Lilly for sharing your knowledge and deepening our understanding of Sydney's history...the places and people.
Great overview of Sydney’s history.
