About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mikechas170 contributionsSuch a great tour that we had to book another!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.Written 5 July 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.

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
- Bob921100 contributionsExcellent way to learn about SydneyOur tour guide Andrew did a great job of showing us most areas around Sydney with very helpful commentary. Highly recommend this city tour. Very worthwhile.Written 15 February 2024
- melissamJ1173WG0 contributionsOutstanding!!!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!Written 12 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
- 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
- Exploration7916940 contributionsBlue Mountains with Scenic World is a must doWe took the all-day private tour of the Blue Mountains with the Scenic World add-on with Scott last month, and it was a fantastic day, with money well spent. Scott was personable and knowledgeable and truly a pleasure to spend the day with. We were a party of 10 and there was something for everyone on the tour. The Blue Mountains are worth taking a day from your stay in Sydney to explore.Written 8 January 2024
- Guide2501920 contributionsBlue Mountain AdventureWe booked a private tour to the Blue Mountains with Your Sydney Guide, and it couldn't have been better. We wanted some challenging hikes that wouldn't be too busy that gave us a sampling of the geographical diversity of the mountains. Your Sydney Guide met these requests perfectly. We even started our hike 2 hours later than usual, at 10AM, to maximize our chances of seeing wildlife at the end of the day, and our adventure ended at a park full of wallabies and kangaroos. Our guide was very knowledgeable and great to talk to about the Blue Mountains and the Aussie culture. It felt more like we were hiking around with an old friend than a hired guide. If you want a Sydney adventure that is tailored to you then you can't go wrong with Your Sydney Guide.Written 7 January 2024
- Dennis M0 contributionsOur tour guide Charley was great and made our hike fun.Scott was super responsive when we were doing our booking. Answered all of our questions and was helpful when we were customizing our trip options. Our tour guide Charley was great with lunch locations, local knowledge and made conversation. Charley made our hike experience fun and was filled with a lot of plant knowledge. A+Written 29 December 2023

We totally enjoyed our experience with Scott "Your Sydney Guide", and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Australia. We booked this as a private tour for just us two and went September 2019. It was well worth it to go with Scott rather than the other larger tours primarily because we could sculpt our own custom tour of Blue Mountains within their options. We opted to skip Featherdale wildlife because we had already visited the wildlife habitat in Port Douglas, yet we had a full day of awesome experiences. We travel a great deal worldwide and would highly recommend Scott.

We hired Your Sydney Guides for a day in the Blue Mountains. I am usually very meticulous about setting the itinerary but i gave them some suggestions of things i read about and what we like to do and let them set the itinerary. Peter was our guide. He was early and arrived in a very nice car. Peter was very likable and knowledgeable and a very good conversationalist. The itinerary they set was great. Exactly my kind of day following some of the themes of what we wanted to do. We made several stops including some short walks (20-30 minutes) to Wentworth Falls. Then Peter took us to meet Charlie, our guide for the main hike of the day - Grand Canyon Trail. Charlie was also a great hiking companion and as he saw we were good hikers he took us off the main trail into the canyon which was great. We met Peter again where we stopped at a nice cafe for lunch. We stopped a couple of more times to view the three sisters and a nice town to walk around for some ice cream and a late coffee and then headed back to Sydney. It was a fantastic day and the guides were great. Highly, highly recommend.

Scott picked us up at airport, took us to our hotel, and then we were off seeing the beautiful city of Sydney. On the second day we saw some beautiful countryside. He took very good care of us, and even made us dinner reservations at a good sea food restaurant, where we were told they were to take good care of us, and they did. We then took a 7 days cruise to New Zealand and booked a one day tour with Scott when we returned to Sydney. This time Scott took us South and we saw many beautiful places. Scott was open to stopping at any point that looked interesting to us. We are ranchers from Texas, so when we went by a cattle auction we ask Scott to turn around and go back. He enjoyed it as much as we did and said he might put this stop on future tours. Scott took us to a store that we both bought hats and a vest. I wear both all the time. We give Scott an A+ on our Aussie tour with him. We still talk about what a wonderful experience it was and plan on going back as soon as we can.

This is 2 years ago that we took this tour. We have a wonderful private tour with Scott to blue mountain and on the way he took us to try out kangaroo meat pie which is very different.then he took us to a view point which has a great mountain view and also visiting a zoo with a big variety of animals and birds. And of course the blue mountain is amazing. We have lots of fun. And Scott is very patience and very knowledgeable and explain everything we need to know. Thanks again Scott we will never get about you and will recommend to friends if they are going to Sydney.

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.

We had so much fun learning about Australia with Scott, our guide. There were 12 of us from 3 to 70 in ages, and every single person had an amazing time. If you’re looking for a tour, definitely use this one. Super friendly, outgoing and personable guide with incredible knowledge of his country!

Twelve members of our family went on a private tour on New Years Day 2010. Everyone had a great time seeing native animals, the Blue Mountains and having Kangaroo Burgers at lunch. Scott was very flexible with letting us hike and stopping for lunch and breaks. We would highly recommend.

Although we have been to Blue Mountains in 2018 via a regular tour, we opted to do a private one with Scott. It was such a pleasant experience. Scott drove us (6 of us) to beautiful scenic points we have not seen before. We were very comfortably seated in his Land Rover discovery and its off-road capabilities were put to use as Scott drove us to spots regular tours do not go to. We had a wonderful lunch under the cover of trees at Meggalong Valley at the Blue Mountains. This again a food joint out in the woods. What a wonderful lunch experience away from the norm. We were glad we opted for this private tour with Scott. Certainly this private tour would cost more than a regular tour. However, we all felt it was worth every dollar spent and would do it again. Scott is such a thoughtful and wonderful guide. We will certainly be back and would once again go with Scott and no one else!

We spent a day in the "Disco" with Scott visiting the Kanimbla and Megalong Valleys. Scott's knowledge was comprehensive and his enthusiasm was contagious. He showed us spectacular scenery and hidden gems often missed by the standard tourist trails. The highlight of our day was the suspension bridge over the Coxs River and the the nearby "Bellbird corner". We would highly recommend Scott's services to anyone who wants to experience the lesser known treasures of the Blue Mountains. P.S we won't mention the life challenged cow in the dam...

Thanks Scott for another great day to the Blue Mountains with customers from UK. So glad to be able to visit Australia again and bring more guests on your brilliant tour.
Have used Scott a few times now and his tours have always been perfect with great feedback from customers we bring to Australia. Great fun but always backed up with interesting facts and information. Always flexible to adjust to groups needs and happy to tailor tour.
See you again next year Scott.
