Malcolm, our guide, met us by the ship and took us on an amazing travel experience. We went by ferry, light rail, and walking tour throughout the city. Not only did we get to see and taste much of the city we learned much about it as well. One of the definite highlights was the Fish Market. We booked this on Viator and loved it!

John showed my family and I a great time in Sydney last week. He was very easy going to fit in well with our group. He made the experience fun by allowing us to choose some of our own items off the menus. I would absolutely recommend a food tour in Sydney with John.

Peter was a fabulous guide and packed a ton into our short amount of time without us ever feeling rushed. Love that we took the lightrail and ferry. We learned a ton and feel very comfortable making our way around the city on our own.

My 22 year old daughter and I had a wonderful 5+ hour tour with Peter on a beautiful Sunday. This was our first full day of a week in Sydney, and it was the perfect tour, as he showed us the city and how to navigate public transportation. He took us to Manly Beach on a walk with gorgeous vistas. It was the perfect mix of Australian history, learning the city, and exploring one of the beach towns. I highly recommend Peter if you are planning a day tour of Sydney.
