      We had an absolutely delightful morning with Helen. Her knowledge of the history of Sydney was in-depth. A great way to see the city in 4 hours. Highly highly recommend!

      Enjoyed the Story of Sydney Tour
      Learned lots and saw so many neighborhoods and beaches in the area. Time for a few short walks and our guide was great. This tour gives you a good sense of the history and layout of the city. Gave us some great ideas for our free time in Sydney!

      Our tour guide, Helen, was wonderful. She was delightfully informative and fun to listen to. I would recommend this tour if Helen is the guide.

      Fantastic day with Tim
      Had a great private tour yesterday with Tim. He is very energetic, positive, and enthusiastic. His knowledge of Sydney and Australia is very deep and we learned a great deal about the history, culture, and politics of Australia. Tim showed us many things all around Sydney we would never seen trying to do this on our own. He made the day terrific and is really enhanced or overall visit. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.

      Excellent
      We were told about the tour of Sydney's history by a couple in our hotel and decided to book it. Well informed about pick up, we met up with Derek our guide who offered keen insight, a friendly and helpful attitude and a wonderful, full tour of the city in a very comfortable vehicle which really enhanced our visit. Couldn't have asked for a better tour or guide, thank you.

      Awesome tour
      Yesterday morning we were picked up by two charming tour guides from Ultimately Sydney. Their knowledge of the usual and unusual historical sites around Sydney was a refreshing change from the standard scripted tour. They also took the time to point out the different architectural styles around the city and how they changed as the city evolved. Thanks for a wonderful tour! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

      Great way to see Sydney and learn about its history!
      We live in Brisbane and we came to Sydney for a week to celebrate a milestone birthday. We thought it would be great to do a tour and find out more about this beautiful city. Helen picked us up in a really comfortable vehicle and was immediately engaging. We spent four hours touring Sydney with her learning about the history and seeing all the major landmarks. Helen was so knowledgeable and informative and we learnt things with her that we would never have discovered on our own. What a great way to be a tourist in your own country. We couldn’t recommend the tour highly enough.

    This was a fun tour. We saw interesting areas in Sydney that we would not have discovered on our own. The food was all excellent. We tried some very different things like an infused gin tasting and meat pies at a famous food cart like restaurant. Helen shared interesting information about the history of the various areas. We liked the small group size of just 8 people.

    This tour was a real highlight of our recent trip to Sydney.
    Our group could have all fitted in one vehicle but we were picked up from our accommodation in two luxurious vehicles so that we had room to be comfortable and really enjoy our day. This is the kind of thoughtful and excellent service that Helen and her staff give you during your tour.
    The food and drinks on this tour is AMAZING!! You get a glimpse into the plethora of top shelf eateries that Sydney has to offer without booking months in advance or lining up for hours.
    Helen's knowledge of the city and its eateries if inspiring.
    I highly recommend you do this tour, you will go hungry and come back with a full stomach and some great knowledge about the city and suburbs.
    You will not be disappointed.

    My 21yr old daughter and I had the pleasure of taking this tour recently and it was amazing. Our guide, Helen, picked us up from our hotel in the Rocks, picked up another guest and away we went. We visited so many different areas of Sydney and at each one Helen shared fun and interesting information. AND the food and drinks! First stop.. lunch at Lotus in Barangaroo which was delicious Chinese food. Second stop.. the tram shed sampling beers and another platter of snacks. Third stop.. an incredibly fun gin tasting. Fourth stop coffee and the famous watermelon cake. Finishing the day with a tasting of 6 different NSW wines. So much fun, so much food. Highly recommend this tour. Did

    I liked that they confirmed the pick up the night before. Our tour was with Helen, founder of the tour, picked us up in a nice small mercedes van. She was running late, but did call to let us know which was appreciated. There were only four of us on our tour which was nice, but not guaranteed. We visited four areas of the city we might not otherwise have seen. We most enjoyed the turkish restaurant in Barangaroo, the host there was wonderful and they fed us enough for a full meal which was all fantastic. We also liked the asian area of the tour and the food there. The wine tasting at the end was disappointing, the person doing our tasting was so soft spoken you could hardly hear her and clearly didn't know much about the wines as every wine she just said it smells "fruity". I would have thought they would offer list of the places we visited or a map of some sort, which has been common on other food tours. There was lots of food, we weren't even hungry for dinner afterwards. Helen picked us up at our hotel and drove us back afterwards, and was a great host. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour!

    Evan was our driver/tour guide and was excellent both in knowledge of Sydney and Restaurants visited. He personally ensured that the 4 of us, 2 from Sydney (myself and a friend) and 2 visitors from Madrid Nigel and Martha (who were on their honeymoon) were looked after. Ultimately Sydney (Helen Fraser - Director - Owner/Founder) has to be commended on the selection and variety of restaurants visited during this tour. From experiencing Traditional Turkish (Anason) in Barangaroo; dining in a tramcar at Tramsheds; Drinking Gin at The Cannery and completing the tour in Spice Alley. Six hours of fun and entertainment. Highly recommended. I will be getting a group together to once again experience this very professional and exciting tour of Sydney.

    My wife and I took the Taste of Sydney tour, and we had a terrific time! Our host Helen picked us up at our hotel, and we were off to 5 different venues across Sydney (Seafood Market, Lotus @ Barangaroo, Harry's Cafe De Wheels, Moon Shiner Gin Distillery, Handpicked Wines Cellar Door). The food and drink and each venue were amazing, but the best part was hearing Helen regale us with the history and local knowledge of Sydney along the way. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney. Helen was a fantastic tour guide and host. Exceeded our expectations!!!
