In-depth and entertaining

mmcgraw, Feb 2020

This tour was in-depth and gave us so much history and information about the central city district and the rocks. Greg is a fabulous guide and even though there were only two guests on the tour, on a very hot afternoon, he gave us a complete and entertaining walk. This small group tour is the best way to explore Sydney. We highly recommend Greg!!!

Thanks for the review guys! Sydney did its best to try and kill a couple of Candians with heat, but you guys smashed, thanks for joining the tour.

Was a funn tour

sherrimick, Feb 2020

There were 3 of us on this tour. This young man did a good job keeping us moving. He just hit on the highlights of this area of Sydney. He was very informative about the local pubs and there is some confusion in Sydney on which pub is the oldest. The second tour we took the next day was much more informative about this whole area.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thanks for the review guys. I may have been the guide on the day, i'm unsure, but i do love the pubs (and run many tours of them) so it may very well have been me. The tour is a City Highlights tour, so that is the tour you would have got but its sad to hear we got out-done by another tour. Hopefully i can get the 5 stars next time.

Wonderful

Jami_L, July 2019

Our entire family of five enjoyed this tour. We booked this for our first day and I'm so glad we did. We'd just traveled nearly 24 hours from Philly to get to Sydney and I'm so happy with the experience. We got to see the city from a local perspective and getting out and walking for 2+ hours was a great way to work out the jet lag kinks. We not only saw the city highlights - Opera House, harbor, bridge...We got a wonderful bit of history and context and were able to visit Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Rocks and Hyde Park. Greg, the guide and owner, was wonderful. He was informative, friendly and accommodating, and very proud to be Australian. I'm glad we did this and recommend it for everyone coming to Sydney.

Excellent tour - we had just arrived...

Nick W, Dec 2016

Excellent tour - we had just arrived in Sydney that morning. Gregg took us to a lot of the sites on our list to visit plus more that we wouldn't have seen in about 3 hours. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you Gregg! Loved it.

Greg was great. Very knowledgeable...

Greg was great. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Took us to all the hot spots. Also, the jump shot in the profile pic is a must do at the end of the tour.
