Really get to know Sydney - Past and present - Great tour! We highly recommend it. Our guide, Tim, was knowledgeable, informative, personable and encouraged questions we might have during the tour. Many sights in Sydney, as well as coastal towns and beaches in the Sydney area. Much more than just downtown . This is well worth your timr! To have a well rounded tour gave depth to the city of Sydney.

Fantastic day with Tim - Had a great private tour yesterday with Tim. He is very energetic, positive, and enthusiastic. His knowledge of Sydney and Australia is very deep and we learned a great deal about the history, culture, and politics of Australia. Tim showed us many things all around Sydney we would never seen trying to do this on our own. He made the day terrific and is really enhanced or overall visit. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.
