Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Absolutely recommmended and worth every Dollar
    Tust was an absolutely amazing experience. The flight was super smooth with fantastic views of the harbor with its landmarks and the beaches (Bondi, etc.). The headsets cut of all the noises and allow communication as well. We enjoyed every minute and took fantastic pictures from approximately 1,000 above Sydney.

    70th birthday trip
    This was part of my trip to Sydney, Australia for my 70th birthday. The tour was awesome and the city was beautiful. The tour guide was very friendly and professional. He explained some of the history of this amazing city. He showed us all the hi lights. This may for a enjoyable and relaxing way to see the city. This is a must do first tour so you can get a lay of the land. This way you know what you want to explore more. Loved it and loved Sydney ❤

    Shorter hours in spring
    We got on the bus red line at stop 1 at 9.30 until stop 12, where we changed for the blue line to bondi beach. We waited 30 minutes. Managed lunch at bondi about 11 /2 hours then back to stop 12 to get back on the red line to finish it all. The buses last trip was 3.30, we finished at 4pm so only just managed it all.
    Really you need 2 days to be able to hop on and off. We managed to see everywhere but no real time to stop. Really there should be a discount in winter when hours on offer are shorter! The information via the headphones the timing was often out due to traffic, so I missed things they were talking about as they were often ahead of us, we hadn’t reached them yet. Maybe pictures of what we are

    Great tour of Sydney’s historical Rocks area
    Our guide Judith was friendly and welcoming and the tour got underway promptly at 10:30. She provided interesting history of The Rocks area with quirky facts that made the tour fun. She managed the group well and engaged with everyone. The walking tour is about 90 minutes long and also included several sections of stairs so be advised if that might be an issue.

    Amazing tour! Do not miss out!
    My wife and I were in Australia on our honeymoon and are SO glad we booked this tour with Sam! Given Sydney is so big, he knew the places to go to give a truly unforgettable experience. He was a great resource for any questions you had and even gave us a taste of the popular music culture while in transit to the different stops. I would give this tour 10 stars if I could!

    Very informative - great introduction to Sydney.
    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Malcolm. It was informative, and very helpful in orienting ourselves in Sydney for the rest of our visit. Also, being in our 70's, we appreciated Malcolm pacing the tour at a comfortable speed. Money sell spent.

    Excellent Historical Tour!
    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Lilly was very knowledgeable and passionate about Sydney’s history and although we have been in Sydney many times, we have learned even more history from Lilly. We will certainly consider signing up for one of the other tours they offer.
    Thank you!

    Wonderful day - private tour
    Fazli was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable about Australian history. He took my daughter and me to many out of the way places a tourist would not normally know where to go. Fazli’s Hidden Gems!! Including a lovely lunch at a historic location.
    Easy pickup and drop off at the airport as we were only in town for 1 day. Highly recommend!

    Amazing
    This tour was one of the highlights of Sydney. We got to see amazing views at Watson's bay and ticked Bondi off my list to see too. The tour guide was hilarious, helpful and so lovely, he definitely made this a must do activity. Such a great way of seeing more of Sydney. Highly recommend. The tour guide Martin was lovely especially with my nut allergy and asking passengers not to eats nuts on board the coach.

    Walking tour of Sydney with Malcolm
    Malcolm was an amazing guide. He took us from the Radisson Blu Plaza to the Art Museum on the pier. Statue of William Bligh, looking at the Rocks and sandstone buildings. We walked the bridge to Dawes Point, learned about Ft. Dennison built to defend against the Russians who never came. We learned the history of the bridge and it's construction, the four economic sources for Australia and the history of Luna Park. We viewed some interesting art work as we walked along Barangaroo's new parkway and learned the aboriginal history of the area. We walkedd to Darling Quay and saw the variety of buildings and businesses there. Took the red line to the Fish Market and learned about it's history. We then retraced our steps after returning from the Fish Market and returned to the Radisson Blu. Wonderful experience from the eyes of a native!

    Laid back and customized tour!
    Ben picked us up at our hotel. We had a previous tour and he wanted to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see. So he customized a route for us! We saw Sydney In the best way, neighborhoods, swimming bays, historic buildings and areas. We heard that the Opera house had a bar and we wanted to end our tour there. Ben dropped us off and we got to our hotel later. Book this tour with Ben!

    informative experience of the historical city centre
    We had a great walk with Beck who covered much of the historical centre of Sydney. It was a lot of fun and we only regret that we did not book this tour at the start of our trip as it provided a lot of information about places we had already visited on our own. It is astonishing that the city managed to prosper given all the challenges the early settlers faced!
