Fantastic one day review of the city highlights. - Our guide, Cory, picked us up at our hotel, and explained that the tour would be based on what we wanted to see, and not on a predetermined schedule. He was exceptionally friendly, and knowledgeable about the city. We were able to spend more time hiking along the oceanfront, which was what we were looking for. We were able to hike across the Sidney Harbor Bridge, and visit the Opera House. Cory then took us Mrs Macquarie’s chair where we had a fantastic view of the harbor, bridge, and Opera House. Overall, one of the best tours we have ever had.

Best City Overview Tour of Sydney - Daniel did a fantastic job showing us all the amazing sites of Sydney. We particularly like being able to stop and walk around in many of the areas we drove to. He recommended a great lunch spot for us too! At each stop he took great pictures to help us preserve our memories. This is a must do tour to get a wonderful overview of Sydney, especially if you don’t have many days in the city.

Fabulous Sydney city tour- get the history of the city and see some amazing beaches, neighborhoods and hidden gems! - We can’t say enough wonderful things about the Sydney city highlights and hidden gem tour and about our guide Daniel. Daniel was very accommodating to us, since we had been in town for a few days and already seen some sights - but luckily we revisited some places and he gave us so much history and information that we didn’t get going on our own. We loved all the hidden beaches (amazing) and the overlooks and best places to stand at each overlook. We felt like we really got to see so much of Sydney and outer areas - we covered a lot of ground on this tour. We also gained insights on things to do to fill our last day in Sydney after this very informative tour. Highly recommend both the tour and Daniel as the tour guide!
