“Free but pay what you think it is worth!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

These free walking tours meet at the city hall. We learned a lot about the city from our guide who started the business three years ago. It was a great way to orient ourselves and we went back to many of the locations she pointed out. I don't think we would have gotten to the back streets of the Rocks if we hadn't taken the tour. Although they advertise their tours as free, what they want you to do is consider fees charged by similar tours and then pay the guides what you think the value of there tour is. I didn't have a problem with that.

“Great Free Walking Tour, very informative”

My wife and I were very impressed with this free walking tour. The guide, Justine, is fabulous and helpful. She gave us a good insight into Sydney with interesting historical background about the city which other tours may not provide. The walking tour lasts for around 3 hours. It is a leisurely walk, and she takes you to all the main tourist sites in the city. Also, the walk takes you to spots where you can take good views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

It is a must do in Sydney, especially if you only have a short stay in the city. Highly recommend it. 5 Star. And leave them a nice tip at the end of the tour.

Note: If you have any questions about Sydney (transport, restaurants, shopping, pubs etc), ask the guide. They have great recommendations.

“Enjoyable walk around city centre”

I frequently come to Sydney to visit family but this was the first time I had done a walking tour of the city. I enjoyed this tour as the route was interesting and took us to places I hadn't seen before. The guide gave just the right amount of information about the various points of interest. Unfortunately I didn't catch the guide's name but he was personable and was easy to hear (even with lots of traffic around).

“Fabulous Walking Tour of Sydney”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I can not say enough good things about this tour. The walking tour is free and you can pay what you want. This tour is the best walking tour I have ever been on. Our tour guide Ross was terrific. He is very congenial and really knows his stuff about Sydney. The tour was well paced and took us to many of the most popular tourist sites.

Ross was also very helpful when I e-mailed him and asked questions about the tour and how I could fit it in with my itinerary. He offered lots of valuable suggestions for the places I wanted to visit and how to do those things affordably and easily. He didn't really have to do that but he took the time to help us.

We sure hope we paid enough because we definitely got our money's worth.

“Great way to start a Sydney visit!”

We took a weekday, 10:30am tour, and it was amazing. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable, kept up a good pace, and showed us all around the CBD, The Rocks, and Circular Quay.

I can't say enough nice things about this tour, the map they gave us was great, and he made excellent suggestions for further things to see and do. We left a nice (we think) tip, and it would be cheap at any price.
