Excellent Sydney city tour.

Margaret_N, 11-12-2022

Our morning Sydney City Tour was excellent. In a short time we became familiar with the city and Graham had lots of suggestions as to what to focus on for a more in-depth experience in certain areas of Sydney

Eye view of Sydney

LynnetteK_L, 09-12-2022

A great way to get an overview of places to visit in Sydney! We made some nice photo stops as well as a longer visit to Bondi Beach. Would definitely recommend!

Must do tour

Irene_E, 09-12-2022

Hoof was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. This tour was a great overview of Sydney.

Great tour!

IREstl, 07-12-2022

We had a fabulous day seeing the sights of Sydney. Hoof, our guide, was very knowledgeable and full of excellent tips. It was a small group of 8 of us in a nice Mercedes minibus, We would recommend this tour right at the beginning of your stay. Then you can choose where you want to explore in more detail.

The driver was very nice...

Having a good time on the bus

Urszula_W, 10-01-2023

Traveling solo can be uncomfortable, But not with Viator! It was just wonderful the history and little stories of growing up in Sydney. the guide was so informative and lively and had such good stories.

Highly recommended

Good overview for further exploration.

Mai_L, 08-01-2023

The tour covered a lot of areas, including the Rocks, exclusive residential areas, Watson‘s Bay, Rose Bay, the Gap and Bondi beach. Our driver/guide, Hoof, was amusing. He did not know anything about Australian rules football, but being from Sydney, this is not surprising. I did the afternoon tour and it was fun. Though there was some rain when we were at Bondi, I liked seeing the surf, rather than a calm ocean.

4 hours to "see" a big...

Carol_J, 07-01-2023

4 hours to "see" a big city is an daunting expectation - however, Graham did an XLNT job of sharing the highlights, in a very timely manner! And it was a beautiful day, to boot!

Great Tour

Seaside464612, 04-01-2023

Our tour was very informative. We were able to see most of the major sites in Sydney and learn more about the history and surrounding area.

An ideal overview of Sydney! With a great guide!

Sherald_S, 03-01-2023

Graham was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable
And also made the tour interesting with little anecdotes he knew. We recommend him highly! Sydney is such a lovely city and Graham is an
Ideal representative of your city.

Guide was knowledgeable...

Deborah_B, 13-12-2022

Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. However, he should have known about a large pro Iranian women demonstration. It was on Google that morning. Getting tied up in this traffic caused an hour's delay in getting back through the city. Some participants got out and walked.
