While visiting my son and his family in Australia (I am a New Yorker) my daughter-in-law surprised me and my son with a full day walking tour of Sydney. She booked the tour through City Unscripted, and we we were fortunate enough to be assigned to Peter Sullivan. As it was a surprise, we were almost completely unprepared, except to be told to wear comfortable shoes. Peter knew we were in the dark, so, communicated exact meeting instructions that morning, while remaining discrete. He found us lost near, but not at, the meeting place, and took us in hand. Finally, we learned what the day would look like, and Peter asked us to confirm the interests he was told we had by my daughter-in-law. Apparently, even though he had prepared the tour in advance according to the information he was given, he was able to tweak the day to make sure we would get the most out of the adventure. He was also completely flexible about when and where we ate and took breaks. I could go through our tour here, but suffice it to say that he was a terrific guide, full of knowledge of the history and architecture of the city, was able to answer most of our questions, and if not, we looked things up while stoping for coffee. The day ended with a ferry ride out to Manly Beach and back. He was a fantastic leader, getting us seats on the most scenic side of the boat, but where we would not get soaked from the spray. It was a delightful ride and full of sites. Unlike a few teachers and tour guides I have experienced, Peter only talked about himself when I asked a direct question. This tour was most certainly not about him, but rather, very much about Sydney, a city that he clearly loves and is proud of. I recommend Peter, as walking tour guide, most emphatically. We had a great and fulsome day. And, because we were staying in Sydney several more days, we actually knew our way around when on our own. We knew the landmarks, how to navigate the light rail system and the ferry system, and even our way through the downtown streets, and the highlights of Sydney Harbor. Thank you Peter for our introduction to your beloved City,

Peter is an excellent tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, considerate and a consummate host. We were very kindly greeted with a gift and my son loved his tote bag. We saw SO many sights today!! Our walking tour was about 8 hours and we toured Hyde Park, St Mary’s Cathedral, gorgeous fountains and memorials, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, the Sydney Opera House, the Rocks, the Custom House, the Queen Victoria Building, Manly Beach, etc. plus stopped along the way for shopping. Great views of the gorgeous landscape, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. In addition to walking, we took the Metro and the Lightrail and ferries. We stopped at a delightful coffeehouse in the morning and had a terrific lunch at a food hall midday. Plenty of rest stops for our party of 3. Highly recommend Peter and his walking tour of Sydney. Don’t forget your hat and sunscreen…
