Great panoramic tour of Sydney with Sevi - AEA took our party of four on a great compressed tour of Sydney, with focus on must-see city areas and structures, but also reaching out to Bondi Beach. Our guide Sevi was knowledgeable, personable and generous with her time. She shared her wealth of experience with great professionalism and charm. Altogether, a well-spent half day that made us want to come back soon.

Great Tour Highly Recommended - We were meet by Graham on time at our hotel He was excellent from the start, taking time to explain the history and not to travel too fast so we did not miss anything I would strongly suggest you ask for Graham he was brilliant , mannerly and knowledgeable

Brilliant! - We did the half-day tour with Graham who was a very friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable guide whom we got to know quite well as we also did a Blue Mountains tour with him. We also felt very safe with his driving. The whole experience was very relaxed and enjoyable, would highly recommend. A special mention for this Company as they honoured our Bookings even though we were the only two for both tours and they would not have made any money - a sign of real integrity!

Like We Had Known Him Our Entire Life - As is often the case, a good tour guide can make all the difference. In our case we were matched up with Scott who met us promptly at our hotel for our private (there were five of us) tour around Sydney. It is always refreshing to hear that your tour guide grew up in the area you are touring. Scott was able to embellish the usual highlights with stories of his own that made it all seem more real. Our tour took us from downtown to the botanical gardens to the North Headlands before circling back through picturesque neighborhoods. The last thing Scott did for us is book a reservation for us with Doyles on the Beach in Watson's Bay. We had driven by this restaurant during our tour and he suggested it as an iconic dinner house that had the added bonus of requiring the ferry to get there. So rather than drop us off at our hotel he took us back to Circular Quay, explained the process of getting on the ferry and off we went. A great sightseeing day with a great tour guide and a happy ending for dinner.

Sidney Opera House - Sidney is a great city, we explored on the open top buses where there are two routes. Also a trip around the harbour was interesting and the Opera House is worth a visit. Travelling around is easy as public transport is very good. Theres so much to do the only way to find out is to visit the city which is highly recommended.
