Excellent Sydney Tour - Sharon, our guide, was in the agreed place at the right time with an air conditioned mini bus. Our two tour companions were already onboard. Sharon explained our tour and provided sturdy copies of a map of the route and the highlights. Sharon's running commentary was full of interesting facts and stories. I would suggest she pauses for breath occasionally and ask if anyone has a question. All the stops were well selected and included an optional walk along the cliff tops (perfectly safe) and Bondi Breach. Our companions were dropped back to their hotel and we had some extra time available so Sharon took us back over the bridge and gave us some suggestions of possible boat trips. All in all an excellent tour which was good value for money. A tour I would recommend to my best friend. If you have a few hours spare and want to cram in lots of the main attractions.

Great tour!! - The story of Sydney is a great tour! It takes you around the city to tell the story of the city from beginning to now. Getting to see the different areas, neighborhoods and beaches was a great way to see the city in a few hours. Sharon was a great tour guide and knew her information. Highly recommend!

Great Tour Amazing Guide - We booked a tour of the Blue Mountains that included a hike through beautiful forests of bamboo trees where we saw many species of birds. We also saw some breathtaking views of waterfalls. Our guide Rohan was amazing. He knew so much about the area and gave us great information about Sydney and surrounding areas along with great restaraunt recommendations. Highly recommend this as a day tour out of Sydney.
