    What a wonderful experience to see this beautiful city of Sydney. Mike was an absolute delight and showed us so much in such a short amount of time. We really enjoyed everything and hope to come back again some day.

    We met Peter at our hotel in Sydney for the tour. After suggesting we change into something more hot-weather appropriate, he explained what he intended to show us. We made our way through the Central Business District stopping as Peter pointed out interesting buildings, sites, shops, outdoor markets, and, of course, the bridge and opera house. Why, he even provided details on Sydney’s amazing public transit system, including how to take the Metro and Ferry. We covered a lot in our time together and are grateful to have had such an amazing guide who truly loves his home and life in Sydney. We won’t forget Peter or Betty Windsor II!

    Rhonda put together a great 3 hour itinerary personalized to my interests and it was very fun! I wish I would have booked a longer tour with her. Rhonda is so knowledgeable about Melbourne and it’s history. She’s also very engaging and a great storyteller. She made great suggestions for my trip of where to visit, shop, and eat and how to use the tram. We finished at an historic pub so I could try a good Australian beer (Carlton Draught). It was a great time! I highly recommend Rhonda.
