Reviews of Our Sydney Experiences

Peter exceeded every expectation during the tour! What an absolute pleasure. His depth of knowledge and attention to detail during the tour was beyond amazing! I use a motorized wheelchair and he made certain that I did not miss a single thing on the tour. We rode the light rail, the rapid metro and a ferry across the harbor! At each highlight he shared a wealth of information and shared historical and cultural insights along the way. I learned so much! He pointed out great photo opportunities and showed me many hidden gems! I would absolutely highly recommend Peter for a tour.

We had a fun day with Graeme! It was a lot of walking, but we were able to rest as needed Graeme was very flexible with the itinerary, and showed us many places that we wouldn't have thought of to visit on our own. Enjoyed it!
