    Peter was an incredible host to Sydney. His communication BEFORE the tour was outstanding - making recommendations regarding money exchanges before even arriving, restaurants, keeping me informed regarding the opening of the new fish market (and sending YouTube videos), etc. The day of our tour, after disembarking the cruise ship and arriving at our hotel, Peter came and met us there to start our journey. He taught us how to use the tram system (which we did use a number of times over the next 4 days), took us to the Opera House (where they were setting up and rehearsing for the next day's Australia Day festivities), around The Rocks area, ferry ride to Manly Beach, walk through the downtown area (hidden gem - the "bird cages"), over to Darling Harbor, and ending at the new Fish Market (opened earlier that week)...and so many more sites - too many to mention. You will need good sneakers to keep up with Peter, as he is anxious to show you everything this magnificent city has to offer. Absolutely worth doing this tour, and try and get Peter as your guide - you will not be disappointed!

    Wear comfortable shoes. Wonderful tour. Architecture and bay and public system are very clean and easy to use. Each adult must have their own credit card.
