Fun and informative - This was a fun and informative tour. I never knew that Sydney had so many unique and fun stories with its history. Our walk took us from the Hyde Park and ended at The Rocks district.

Wonderful walking tour!... - Wonderful walking tour! Gives you lots of information about the city and points of interest for you to go back and explore later. Great guide Lele who set a good pace but it never felt rushed and she made sure everyone heard everything. Highly recommend especially as your first stop if visiting Sydney

Walkable Sydney - Lele was an enthusiastic and charming guide. Made us all fans of the city. Appreciated getting the history from 60000 years ago to present day. Gems of architecture, sculpture, and associated Aussie humour would have been missed if not for this walking tour. Also, I was helped to spot my first kookaburra. Thank you!

A taste of Sydney - The entire tour went smoothly, from booking, payment, reminders from Viator, to meeting with Lily. She was punctual, took our needs into consideration, very knowledgeable. History is endless so I say she gave us a taste of a portion of Sydney. I liked that she touched on founders, art, growth, architecture, people, beauty and much more.

Sydney on foot - Lily is an excellent tour guide. We had a great introduction to Sydney and its history, without Lily’s knowledge I’d have missed many interesting places to explore.

Lily’s introduction to Sydney is wonderful! - Lily was an exceptionally informed guide and a fun person with whom to spend the morning. She knew history, art, and more, making it both educational and entertaining. Plenty of helpful tips for people unfamiliar with the city. Highly recommended.

Tour around Sydney - Although it was my 7th time in Sydney, I had never done a walking tour to learn more about it's history. Lily was our tour guide today and she was lovely. There were only four of us on the tour with Lily today so it was easy to engage in conversation and ask questions. I found it a very enjoyable experience.
