Amazing guided tour

We were picked up by Greg at our hotel and he personally escorted us to many, and varied, sites. We were thrilled with the complete attention to our needs and wants during this time and Greg was willing to change up our list of sites to see based on our conversation during the time we were together. He was thoughtful and made a point of taking our photo in various places. We even got to watch a cricket match while enjoying a lovely picnic lunch. At the end of the day, we stopped at a micro-brewery before we were dropped off, again at our hotel. And in less than 12 hours after our trip, we've also gotten copies of the photos he took

Thank you, Greg

Review
We had a great day with our guide Greg. Particularly impressed with his willingness to adapt the tour to suit us. Allowed us more or less time if we wanted it. Suggested a great place to eat before showing us some interesting, out of the way, art galleries. Very different to Sydney Art Gallery! At central park the mix of old colonial architecture & ultramodern buildings was very interesting . Greg’s knowledge of the building’s history & his awareness of the eco principles behind Central Park helped us appreciate the area more. Never realized how a heliostat reflector system works.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience of inner Sydney
Thanks Greg

Off-the-beaten-path... at Sydney's most well known Instagramable locations

shinraemonsam, 24-07-2019

Yeah, nah.

This is not off-the beaten-path. Lol.

Disappointing. White Rabbit is well known for having one of the best collections of modern Chinese art outside of China.

USYD? Lol. 8,000 Chinese international students... about 60,000 local students. More like beating a dead horse than an unbeaten path.

Grounds? Please. This is on every itinerary as a last point before heading to the airport. It's a cafe. But you already knew that.

Won't be back until you add some real culture and local surprises to your itinerary.
