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 guide, Ross, went above and beyond our expectations giving us a thorough and delightful tour. His knowledge of Sydney’s history and infrastructure because he is an engineer who worked for the city elevated our understanding of it. Highly recommend!
