What travelers think of this experience

Robert, Nov 2019

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.

Peter was very thorough in his knowledge of history and culture, and tailored our tour to meet (actually exceeded) our expectations.

This was a wonderfully way to start our first visit to Sydney. We learned, laughed, walked, ferry’d, at a relaxing yet efficient pace. John was lovely and toured at a relaxed pace. Got to learn the lay of the wonderful land in preparation for an incredible stay in the greatest city.

The best part about the tour is we could customize it. Also, our guide Peter stayed with us for an extra hour in order for us to see everything we wanted to!
