    Great!!

    We had our tour with Peter on our very first day ever in Australia. He definitely made us feel like friends that he was showing around his hometown. We appreciated all the background information about Australia and Sydney specifically. We also really appreciated that he took us on public transport (light rail, train and ferry) just so we would understand the system and how to access it. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Sydney!

    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.
