Reviews of Our Sydney Experiences

We had an excellent small group tour with our guide Peter. We covered a lot of ground in Sydney and saw/experienced all the key things on our list! The Opera house is wonderful as expected, but we also got to explore Darling Harbour, the Rocks, and other local sites. Peter was able to adapt along the way for us to get our best experience. Wonderful memories about Sydney, we'll be pleased to return again.

This was a wonderful tour around highlights of Sydney where we really got a taste for history and grew our knowledge and understanding of this beautiful city. Ross was our tour guide and was truly a pleasure. Knowledgeable, friendly, and tailored our tour for what we wanted. We would highly recommend this tour and Ross!

You guys! If you are ever visiting Sydney ask for a tour guide through City Unscripted named Peter. He was fantastic! He reached out directly after booking, helped plan our packing needed and was the best part of our visit to Sydney. Peter took us all around - even on an evening Ferry ride where we got the most amazing pictures of the city from the water. This was by far our most memorable vacation and I can’t recommend Peter more highly!

My daughter and I had a phenomenal tour with Peter S. We did the Rocks and Darling Harbour tour, but Peter went above and beyond and showed us so much more of the city! He was very attentive and accommodating and excellent in planning ahead and communicating with us to prepare and customize our experience. He also showed us how to use the public transporation system to ensure we could get around. We have one more tour with him and know it will be amazing as well. We highly recommend Peter; he is the best!
