Scott was great. Very knowledgeable of Sydney and we went to places you will not find in large bus tours. He was accommodating to our request and made sure we were all (three couples with different interest) happy with the tour. He took great pictures that he sent to us and ended with a great drink at Sydney’s oldest tavern. He was on time and we never felt rushed and was flexible to make sure we saw the items on our most see list. If you are doing this tour you should request Scott!

I spoke to Scott on the phone and he got a feel of who we are and what we were after in out tour. When Peter our tour guide picked us up we were met with a bright, bubbly, knowledgeable tour guide. We learnt so much on our tour and saw some amazing places. Peter pointed us in the right direction for lunch and his recommendation did not disappoint!! My Husband and I loved our tour so much we would defiantly use Scott again. We loved looking around the Rocks precinct, getting to Manly beach, some amazing lookouts, going down Kings Cross and finishing up at Bondi Beach where we did the Bondi to Tamarama walk. all in all a 10 out of 10 day!!

Booked a 2 hour Harley ride as a gift for my dad, it was SO much fun and I couldn't stop smiling. Steve made us feel totally safe and comfortable. My dad especially enjoyed seeing views of Sydney and Bondi that he hadn't seen in years. I would absolutely recommend Troll Tours. What an awesome way to see the sights of Sydney! Special shout out to Katrina for making the booking process such a breeze. Thanks Troll Tours!

I contacted Ben as I needed some way for my 77 year old mother to go from a quarantine hotel to the South Coast as she had to return from overseas alone. From the start he was friendly and open to the idea of this unusual "tour". My mother found him to be very cheerful, a good driver and tour guide, finding her a lovely restaurant with a view. It was the happy and hassle free way to return home. We would definitely contact Ben again.

We thoroughly enjoyed this indepth look at this beautiful city. Our guide, Danny, was so very knowledgeable and accomodating. The van was clean and air conditioned and equipped with a speaker system, so we were very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour at the beginning of a Sydney visit to gain a good perspective of the city.
