We had a lovely guide Eva Massi take us through the city and suburbs. She is very knowledgeable and very friendly too. She was very flexible and explained us all of what we expected to know and much more. I highly recommend this tour and kudos to Eva. Keep up the good work!

Lovely way to see the city! We mentioned to Andrew that we like history and architecture, so he brought us through some of Sydney’s many neighborhoods and told us about them, pointing out certain houses. He also brought is to several scenic vistas, including Sydney Harbor National Park and Bondi Beach. Andrew knows all the best tea shops, too! He left us off at the Queen Victoria Building so we could have tea there on the top floor.

This tour was fantastic! We covered all the highlights, toured many neighborhoods which we had requested and our driver even stopped at some out of the way spots we hoped to see. His Mercedes Van was very comfortable...

It was a wonderful tour and excellent introduction to the city. Alexandra has a fountain of knowledge on the history and special stories about the city. He was extremely understanding and took excellent care of us. Would highly recommend this to everyone on their first day in Sydney.

Our guide took us through the city in chronological order. He took us to the first areas that were established first and then to the areas that are just now being developed - Barangaroo. Throughout he gave us historical facts, folklore and anecdotes about each area. His knowledge was very extensive. He was also very personable. A great tour and a great guide!!
