Very informative tour - Lily was a very nice guide, very knowledgeable. I liked how she pointed out a lot of small things that I would have never noticed myself, especially the little birds! I think a lot of those things are even missed by the locals. I would definitely recommend this tour, interesting points visited and lots of recommendations regarding what else to do in the city.

A great small group tour - We had a fabulous walking tour with Lily. She was very knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been to Sydney many times and were amazed at the things we didn't know about that are well worth seeing. It would be best to do this tour at the start of your stay in Sydney. Lily pointed out lots of places for us to explore later on our own.

We love Lily! - Would highly recommend this tour. Loved our guide lily - she was so knowledgeable and very funny! I was a big fan of the information provided on the tour as well as the affordability and the restriction on the size of the group (yay for small group sizes)! Covers the man areas of Sydney, excellent for first timers!

Great overview of Sydney’s history. - It was very interesting learning the history of Sydney. There is a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. The tour ends in the Rocks area where there are options for lunch and access to public transport.

An excellent introduction to Sydney - Our walking tour with Lily was an excellent introduction to Sydney. She showed us the main sites and much much more. No question stumped her and her passion and enthusiasm for Sydney was so obvious. We can wholeheartedly recommend Lily as a guide, and she left us with many more places to visit than we have days for on this holiday. We'll have to return someday.
