Friendly personalized service. Loved the airport pick up and drop off! John was very friendly and helpful.

John is very friendly and made me feel safe and taken care of. Really appreciated the airport pick up and drop off!

The tour with City Unscripted and John Campo that I booked via Viator was incredible. John was very hospitable and provided an immersive and very comprehensive tour of the city of Sydney. I had travelled for over 24 hours but felt energized by the gorgeous views and varied paths John shared to see the Opera House and the vast beauty of the Sydney Harbour. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys walking and a lovely and attentive host and guide. John took care to see me off at the airport and ensured I stayed safe all the way through. Very impressive and just a wow service. Thanks so very much. I want to come back and explore more after this experience. Thank you City Unscripted and Viator - if all guides are like John Campo you would continue to have a thriving business for many years to come. Jenny H.

I was truly the tour "with a local: 100% personalized & private"! All thanks to my wonderful guide, Ross, I had just a perfect day in Sydney, touring around the city by public transport just like locals do. Ross was very conscientious and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the city. I enjoyed hearing about his family, his work before retirement and his current volunteer work, and by the end of the tour, I came to highly respect him for what he does for his country. The luxury of having a private guide also allowed me an opportunity to change plans on a whim. Prior to the tour, we had talked about visiting one of the art museums, but since it turned out to be a gorgeous day, Ross suggested that we take a ferry ride to Watsons Bay, which turned out to be an unexpectedly nice outing. All in all, I would highly recommend that you take this tour. Even if you only have several hours to visit Sydney between your flights, having a private guide will let you take in the city as if you were staying in the city for a couple of days!

Malcolm showed me quite a few places in Sydney which I definitely wouldn’t have been able to find myself, the whole experience of wandering around in the city was wonderful. Everything was arranged in a timely manner. Malcolm also made sure he covered the places I had mentioned about, and he has very in-depth knowledge of the buildings and architecture in the city. Definitely recommend it. ☺️

My husband and I booked a Sydney Layover Tour with a Local on our way to Tasmania. We really only had a short stay between flights! Our tour guide John was on the ball. The company reached out early with plenty of time asking us for our interests. With the time and interests they crafted an itinerary for us to review and adjust as needed. John met us at the airport and helped us to navigate the public transportation and locate luggage storage, that he scoped out for us to use. John was a great tour guide for us! Very helpful and knowledgeable. I really felt I had a local guiding me. Good, friendly rapport, John made friends with everyone and generally enjoys talking with people. It was a very good introduction to how nice the people of Australia are! He is very into local activities and government and was happy to explain things to us that we would not have known about. When we walked down a street that had a historic display that was removed he immediately knew which city representative he was going to reach out as soon as the tour was done. From John I get the sense that the tour guides really care about the work they do and take a lot of pride in it. On the tour John showed us a lot of things he had paid out of pocket to preview in advance, and since he had gone the extra mile was able to explain to us what these locations were. For the tour itself it's important to remember that you are paying for the local guide, and any other activities are not included even the ones the guide has worked with you on to make your itinerary. My husband had planned it so I wasn't aware of that coming in to it. Despite the cost, for us to have our 10 hour layover (total to go through customs, and back through on a flight) and get a Sydney experience I think we got to see as much as we did because we had a local tour guide helping us get on trains, ferries, navigating walkways, etc. It would have taken us a lot of research and time to get an experience like we had on our tour in such a short time.
