Great personal experience of Sydney! - A great way to get the highlights of Sydney! Our guide Daniel went out of his way to explain what our day would look like, took time to ask for any specific sights we wanted to include, and was overall a great ambassador for the city. Being in a private vehicle we were able to go to and through neighborhoods in Sydney that would not have been possible in a tour bus. And, the private tour allowed us to set our own pace without worry about being too slow or fast for others. Overall, a fabulous experience.

Amazing 1 Day Tour of Sydney - Amazing tour that gave incredible highlights, broken up by nice walks which was great to keep our 9 year old engaged, and a fantastic guide in Korhi. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see as much of Sydney as possible in one day

A Fun Way to Get Acquainted with Sydney! - My husband and I had a spectacular time exploring Sydney (and the surrounding area) with our tour guide, Daniel. He shared "heaps" (inside joke) of stories about the the history of the city, as well as the various landmarks that we visited. We appreciated learning about the city from a Sydney native. And what's more is that Daniel's personality is PERFECT for this job; he is perfectly Australian and we loved it! Sydney Harbour Bridge is a well-known landmark, and now we can say that we walked and rode over it, as well as walked under it. It was also nice to discover some hidden gems like Kirribilli and Watson's Bay. These are places that we would have never happened across on our own. Lunch at Doyle's was a particular highlight! In fact, I am dreaming of their fish and chips even now. An excellent choice by our tour guide! My recommendation: take the tour. Take. The. Tour. It is worth every penny...between you and me, we would have paid more. :)

Great Tour, Great company - Every interaction I had with the Daily Sydney Tours team was great and I highly recommend booking a tour with them.
I loved my time in Sydney and have to say going on a tour with this company contributed to my trip being enjoyable, comfortable and easy. I got to see all the main sights I wanted to see (including visiting the featherdale wildlife park, bondi beach and the best sydney harbour views), the tour was customised to my interests.
If I ever come back to Sydney I definately would include booking on to another tour!
Thank you so much Daniel for being a great tour guide on the day.
Thank you Korhan for helping with my tour and booking queries.

Excellent experience in... - Excellent experience in every aspect. Our guide Daniel was an amazing source of local information. One of the best tours we've ever had. Think of the experience as a narrative of past and present.
We toured all the obvious and essential tourist attractions but we also got a comprehensive tour of some of the finest neighborhoods in Sydney.
The tour was well timed and we were given plenty of opportunities for walking on our own. We never felt rushed and we were impressed with the depth and breadth of Daniel's narration. Daniel was attentive in every way and his fund of knowledge was impressive.
Overall A+ for an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great way to start your visit to Sydney! - This is a great experience! Take this tour as one of the first things you do after arrival in Sydney. You will then know what activities/attractions you’d like to investigate more in depth and will give you a great idea of the ‘lay of the land’.
Daniel our guide was awesome!! He was a fountain of information and helped make the rest of our time in Sydney better planned out!
Nothing like having a local who loves his tour job to answer questions and give great recommendations of what to do and where to eat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
