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.

I was pleasantly surprised with the day tour. Our guide John covered all the must sees with us where we learnt so much about the history of Australia whilst visiting the historical monuments and walking around the city. We visited the Opera house, Mrs Macquire’s bench, Hyde Park, Botanical Gardens, the Art Museum and the library and also stopped by key landmarks. We were given several opportunities to capture views of the Harbour and the Opera House. We also got the chance to experience local transportation to the area of New Town which was quite different to the city area. Our tour guide went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and he was very pleasant to spend the day with. I highly recommend this tour if you would like to experience Sydney in a day.

We had a great day with this company. Pre-tour, we dealt with James whose communication was immediate and thorough. He gave his honest option on car sickness, which was very accurate. Thankfully his recommendation of what to do worked out well and I got through it in one piece. Word to the wise, you do spend a lot of time in the car on the one day tour so car sickness might be a problem for some people. If this sounds like you and you have the additional day up your sleeve, best to pick their 2 day option. Alas, we only had one day, so we had to bite the bullet. On the day, Aaron was our guide. We got some incredible snaps, as he had a great talent for getting us to great picture spots when there wouldn’t be a lot of people there. I’m not sure if this was by accident or on purpose, but I expect the latter. He was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and we got to meet his wife en-route and she came out of her house beside the road, to wave to us and to give Aaron his work packed lunch for the day. It was nice to know we were being driven around by a real local. And because he was local, he really did seem to deliver us to some delightfully quiet but equally picturesque spots along the way.

I have to say, Simon was by far the best tour guide of our entire vacation. He shared so much info, was throughly enjoyable. I just loved him. He was attentive to our every need and want. He went way above and beyond to make sure we were all enjoying ourselves. I can’t say enough good things. We did tours at every stop, although they were all good..none were as good as Sidney and Simon. He made our trip amazing and I truly recommend him, we shared so many laughs and I feel like I made friend.

My husband and I did the tour on Sunday 28th March 2021. Everything about the day was fantastic. Our tour guide Kat was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some beautiful lookouts which we definitely wouldn't have seen had we gone on our own. Scenic World was amazing, especially the steep train! We were surprised that we were taken to Featherdale Wildlife Park as part of the package, we loved it there and we had our photo taken patting a koala, an amazing experience. We also had a delicious lunch at Grandview Hotel in Wentworth Falls. Thank you Kat for an amazing day!!
