Malcolm, our guide, met us by the ship and took us on an amazing travel experience. We went by ferry, light rail, and walking tour throughout the city. Not only did we get to see and taste much of the city we learned much about it as well. One of the definite highlights was the Fish Market. We booked this on Viator and loved it!

John showed my family and I a great time in Sydney last week. He was very easy going to fit in well with our group. He made the experience fun by allowing us to choose some of our own items off the menus. I would absolutely recommend a food tour in Sydney with John.

The tour of hidden gems was amazing, my guide Ania was very knowledgeable and flexible with our plans. She took me to many spots that. I never would have seen on my own.

We walked around Sydney visiting many sites that I never would have seen on my own. Ania had great knowledge of the city and its history. She was very personable and a lot of fun. The 6 hour tour was the right length to see many sites and take in some of the Australian culture. She also gave me many suggestions for things to do on my own. Overall wonderful experience.

What a perfect way to begin our first trip to Sydney! John C was quick to reach out with an intro and communicate about our interests and private walking tour. We saw, we learned, we walked, talked and laughed. Not only were we able to learn about this amazing city from a wonderful local pro, we were able to easily acclimate for our week + visit so that we could make the most of our trip, commute easily via walking, ferry or metro with confidence. Highly recommend!
