About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- travelfam2011260 contributionsEpic day trip with Charlie to the Blue MountainsWe had an absolutely epic day trip with Charlie. Charlie is easy-going, knowledgeable, and adventurous. He is also funny and talkative. He understood what we wanted to accomplish and tailored our day trip accordingly. He also blended in his recommendations, based on his extensive knowledge of the Blue Mountains.Written 1 November 2024
- sdes930 contributionsDown in the Blue MountainsTo appreciate the Blue Mountains, if possible get off the rim and go down into them, the slot canyons. We wouldn’t have known this, hiked where we did w/o Charlie from Get Your Guide. It was a great immersive day rather than seen at a remove. He also added color by adding tidbits about geology, early exploration, flora and fauna. Genial, caring guide and we would happily follow his lead again.Written 14 October 2024
- 240klausr0 contributionsExcellent tour to Blue MountainsWe really had a great time with Scott and would like to thank him for extraordinary service and friendlyness. The tour to Blue Mountain was great and we even walked a very nice tour in the valley. This tour is recommended to take. The winery tour was very nice, however, winery tasting was limited to drinking one bottle of the same wine. This could easily be improved because the location was superb. Thank you Scott for making our day so perfect. Sigrid and Klaus from Norway.Written 22 September 2024
- H6930EUdavidv0 contributionsPerfect day in the Blue Mountains!Charlie was great. He made it a perfect day! Excellent insight to the Blue mountains. We wouldn't have been able to see all we saw without him!Written 8 July 2024
- 821abhishekb0 contributionsBest way to explore sydney In a dayAmazing tour. Daniel was very knowledgeable and flexible. Had a great time exploring Sydney. Wish we started the tour a bit earlier during more day lightWritten 4 May 2024
- kaileyt0 contributionsFantastic day in the Blue Mountains!!Wow, this was such a special day trip from Sydney! Charlie took us all through the Blue Mountains and into the Megalong Valley. Being on a private tour, Charlie tailored the day to what we wanted to see. We felt like we were the only people in the blue mountains that day. He took us so many places that tourists/buses don’t go to. The only time we saw other tourists was at sunset when we viewed the 3 sisters and even that was less crowded than usual. He went above and beyond to find wild kangaroos for us to see and lunch at the tea rooms was phenomenal. He recommended we take the ferry back into Circular Quay and I’m so glad we did - it was a great way to end a beautiful day.Written 2 May 2024
- mollycW2890TD0 contributionsBest tour ever!An amazing tour with the most friendly tour guide. Saw some incredible views and sites whilst learning all about the blue mountains. The hikes we went on were spectacular and fitted well with our walking ability. Definitely would recommend to do when you visit Sydney.Written 4 April 2024
- Enviro2000 contributionsTwo most wonderful days.Undoubtedly the best tour guide company in Sydney, we had 2 full days with our personal guides ( Blue mountain tour & Southern highlands tour) and we couldn’t have been more delighted, the guides were knowledgeable, prompt, flexible and most importantly lovely people. I would recommend this company 100%Written 7 March 2024
- alexandermD9295DU0 contributionsAn Epic Day of Touring Sydney & Surrounds with Charlie!Charlie is a professional,highly informative, friendly and expert guide! All pre-tour planning and email conversations were timely, thorough and satisfying! Upon arrival via the Celebrity Edge....our tenders delivered us to the Opera House Wharf much later than scheduled,...and Charlie was there waiting at the turn- around behind Sydney Opera House welcoming us to the city in his very luxurious Range Rover! Our day of Discover Sydney began with a bouquet of greetings, smiles and excited anticipation! We headed right into The Royal Botanic Gardens where Charlie began sharing with us the history of Sydney....he sprinkled his history lessons with information about the local flora and fauna.....Sitting on Mrs. Macquarie's chair, being amazed at the Merton Bay Figs and the gorgeous and raucous birdlife!!!!! We were enthralled with Charlie's breadth of knowledge and his calm, humorous and tranquil comportment. As we drove from place to place, Charles answered our queries about Sydney, Sydney's history, government past & present and drew our attention to the historic architecture and the interesting animal life we passed along the way....we trailed after a Kookabura and watched as it pulled worms from the ground and another Kookabura in a tree "beating a mouse to tenderize it" before eating!!!!!! We were regaled by cockatoos, black swans, ibis, and australian magpies to name but a few!!! Our travels took us to and thru The Rocks, Darlinghurst, Moore Park, Woollahra, and to Centennial Park! At Centennial Park Charles brought us on a walk to a huge forest area that was home to thousands of Flying Foxes hanging from trees high up in the canopies! It was magical!!! Then on thru Waverly Park, Rose Bay, Vaucluse and to the famous Bondi Beach!!!! Charles gave us time to walk in every location, take pictures, and enjoy the exquisite views....we enjoyed a lovely coffee at one of his favorite cafes ....and throughout our day together Charles was brilliant companion, teacher, guide and friend. We could not have been happier with our tour with Charles. Every minute was packed with details and history of the beauty of Sydney and Surrounds...we can surely say that Charles expertly guided us into falling in love with Sydney. Thank You Charles!!!!! Next visit....how bout the Blue Mountains, Charles???!!!!!! Many thanks! Madelyn and AlexWritten 5 March 2024
- JanaR600 contributionsBeautiful trip to the Blue MtnsCharlie was a fantastic guide, interesting, kind, extremely knowledgeable about the Blue Mountains - the trails, flora and fauna and really tailored our experience to our group. We didn’t want an overly scheduled tourist experience. It was cloudy but we didn't mind - the beauty of being in the clouds was part of the experience. I highly recommend.Written 27 February 2024
- D4457CRtanyas0 contributionsThe Views and The WallabiesThe Blue Mountains are definitely a bit of a drive from Sydney, but it was worth it. The views from Scenic World were fantastic. Hand feeding the wallabies at Featherdale Wildlife Preserve was without a doubt a trip highlight for my friend and I. Our tour guide Fabrizio did a wonderful job with our group of 24, that included a wheelchair. Working with Scott to organize this trip was great. I definitely recommend his company.Written 15 February 2024
- Mohitkumar D0 contributionsPrivate Blue Mountain tourPrivate Blue Mountain tour Blue mountain tour for my Family is one of the great experiences during our Australia trip. Beautiful mountain ranges, valleys, falls and photo points all became more enjoyable and meaningful with our tour Guide David. We started with visit to prehistoric site hidden from most of the people. Tour became not only natural site seeing but history, geography and culture and spirit of Australia for us thanks to our experienced Guide David. Recommended to all who are looking for something special and memorable out of Blue Mountain tour. ThanksWritten 13 February 2024
- Rey47610 contributionsWas it fate or luck? It was the Guide!Mister Charlie, hands down, made everything more interesting and then added some more! From the multiple off-roads, to the food recommendations and the added commentary, it was all gold. By the way we were with him for both our Sydney and Blue Mountains Day Tours. It was even his birthday on one of the days he was with us. He was our close friend that we finally got to meet again and reconnected with... for our first visit to Sydney; that's how it was having the tours with Charlie. We were comfortable in his vehicle and he assisted us all the way had a wheelchair with us. Loved that he had an itinerary planned and ran it with us to align both our expectations. Got to see many hidden gems on both places and shared a good amount of stories that really will stay with us. We also got to meet Scott on one of the tours, he is also an awesome guy. Your Sydney Guide, the easiest recommend for Private Tours in Sydney, no other choice.Written 19 January 2024
- doQ7383UR0 contributionsExcellent Tour GuideCharlie was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable about the Blue Mountains and Sydney. The vehicle was very nice and clean. Took us on an incredible hike to see the waterfalls and even though the weather was rainy, he still made the trip very interesting. Took us to a special hotel where we had a quick bite to eat and then dropped us off at the ferry for our ride back to the hotel. This was on New Years Eve and everything was extremely busy. We felt blessed to have a tour guide on New Years Eve. We would definitely use this tour company again in the future and ask for Charlie.Written 14 January 2024
- jdaddy19560 contributionsGreat 6 hour Tour!Scott was very easy to work with before we arrived in Sydney, helping plan our tour. Very knowledgeable about history and local areas. Extremely flexible tour. He even stopped at pharmacy for us to get supplies for cruise. Then dropped us off at Fish Market for a great lunch (his recommendation). Great way to see and learn about Sydney. Would highly recommend Scott and his services!Written 11 January 2024

We had a great private tour and experience with Scott at “Your Sydney Guide”. (Despite the rain ;) ) We were able to see all the main Sydney sights, as well as Bondi Beach and the eastern suburbs. There was time to take photos at different stops. Scott was a thorough tour guide, and he provided lots of information about Sydney and Australia. He was friendly, pleasant, and had a sense of humor! Excellent experience!

Outstanding tour!! We booked this tour to not only fill in the time till we could check in to our accommodations but also to see a bit of Sydney upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Charles. He asked many questions at the beginning about what we liked to do and see and totally catered to that. He also shared tips on what to do with the rest of our time in Sydney. We highly recommend booking a tour (or two) when you visit Sydney!

I had an AMAZING day in the city with Charlie at Your Sydney Guide. If you are seeking an authentic experience with the best in the business, look no further. I was traveling from the US and everything from arranging the booking to the depth of knowledge from the guide was spectacular.

If you’re reading this, look no further! Best private tour we’ve ever had. Scott had something interesting to say about every stop we were at. Truly made our experience personal and we were able to check off so many things in one day. We loved our tour so much that we booked the Blue Mountains tour with him the next day. He gets booked fast so if you see something you want to do, book it NOW! Thanks Scott for making our first trip to Sydney absolutely memorable.

Charlie is friendly, personal, and accommodating. He met us after our cruise and picked us up at the overseas terminal. We even drop off our bags at the hotel before we started our tour (A tip that I read from one of the comment reviews). He is knowledgeable and amazed how the city changed over the years. He showed us the beaches and lookout points where the locals go. For lunch, he suggested the fish market. The seafood was excellent. He took me to places I had not seen before.

We booked a full day tour with Scott last year. We didn’t realize how much we would have seen by the time that our tour came. Scott was put to the test when we kept saying...we have been there, done that. So...off we went off the beaten path and had a great day seeing the fish market, Anzac Memorial, St. Mary’s Cathedral and lunch at Bondi Beach after a visit to Claudio’s fish market. Scott is very professional and still down to earth and fun. We had a great day and he even stopped for us to buy wine.

Charlie was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was also extremely flexible with sights as we had been to Sydney before. We really appreciated his accomodating us with taking pictures and snacks. Scott also worked out a private harbor cruise with Elodie at the end of our day and she was delightful!
