What are people saying about Sydney

Blue Mountains Mercedes Tour: Scenic World, Falls & Leura

Rex_F, Sep 2026

Highly Recommended Tour

Mark, our guide has been very patient with us. He took care of our personal needs with frequent stops to toilets and staying flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend this tour if it’s your first here in Sydney. Well worth the cost though it feels too long of a drive.

WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive

Karen_L, Sep 2026

We really enjoyed this...

We really enjoyed this tour, which took us to several different places outside of Sydney. We saw various waterfalls, wombats, kangaroos and wallabies. Karen provided great information and helped everyone with their picture-taking efforts. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for stargazing, but the time we spent in the campground with the wombats, kangaroos and wallabies more than made up for it.

Sydney The Rocks Guided Walking Tour

Robyn_R, Sep 2026

The Rocks Sydney

George made this tour entertaining and educational. A wonderful experience and opportunity to hear convict settlement stories. Highly recommend for Australians and visitors to our country to learn about early European settlement and Indigenous Australians who already lived here.

Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tour from Sydney

Dean_H, Sep 2026

Absolutely recommend this experience.

Absolutely recommend this experience. Michael, our driver and guide for the day, was exceptional in his friendliness and local knowledge. A small number of participants meant extra attention from the various wine producers visited, and the range of local wines sampled, along with the pairings with cheese and chocolate at the final visit of the day, was superb. Transport for the day was in a modern, spacious, air conditioned minibus. If you have limited time in Sydney then this is certainly one tour you should take advantage of.

Sydney Bike Tours

Kristina_R, Sep 2026

Absolutely loved this...

Absolutely loved this bike tour. Every time I visit a new place, bike tours are they way to go and this one did not disappoint. The staff and our guide, Michael, was super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. They made sure my mom, who was a little older, was comfortable. The 2.5 hour tour was the perfect amount of time if you're looking for highlights of Sydney. Highly recommend!

Morning or Afternoon Half-Day Sydney City Sightseeing Tour

Christopher_N, Aug 2026

Beautiful scenery and good conversations.

I had a limited amount of time to spend, this was not my first time in Sydney, and I wanted to focus on the outdoor scenery. This tour certainly delivered. The afternoon tour I took ended up being just me. The lovely guide who gave me the tour, Lucia, covered a lot of especially Sydney’s eastern beaches, in a relatively short time. Lucia was very knowledgeable and the conversations flowed naturally. I also appreciated how there were some opportunities to explore some areas on my own. In particular, I wanted to see Bondi Beach again because it is such an iconic part of a visit to Sydney, but also to pay my respects to the local Jewish community who suffered a profound loss in December 2025. Throughout the afternoon, Lucia put things into historical context in a fun, conversational way.

Blue Mountains Small Group Tour with Waterfall Walk & Fresh Lunch

Jonathan_G, Aug 2026

Amazing day making memories that will last a lifetime

We had a great experience on this Blue Mountains tour! Our group was around 25 people, which felt like a nice size, and our tour guide, Chris, was fantastic and super knowledgeable. The meeting point was very clear and easy to find, which made getting started stress free. We drove about 40 minutes to our first stop, a small town where we had a chance to grab coffee while Chris picked up our fresh lunches for later in the day. The highlight of the tour was definitely the hike. The trails took us through the Blue Mountains with absolutely breathtaking views. I’d describe the hike as moderately strenuous, with a good mix of people of different ages and fitness levels. Chris did a great job explaining what to expect and was upfront about one section that would be more challenging. The descent to the bottom of the waterfall involved very steep, wet stairs and definitely wouldn’t be for everyone but the views along the way and at the bottom were incredible and completely worth it! We finished the day at the Three Sisters before heading back to Sydney. Personally, I thought the waterfall hike was by far the best part of the tour. The Three Sisters stop was nice, but I could have skipped it. I also didn’t really know what I was supposed to be looking for there, so it didn’t have quite the same impact as the hike. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for a more active way to experience the Blue Mountains and want to see some incredible scenery beyond the typical viewpoints.

Martin was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He made it a fun tour! The places that were included in the itinerary were fantastic, as we wouldn't have seen them on our own in that short amount of time. We love that there were stops for drinks, a lunch, photo opportunities and restroom breaks. We highly recommend it!

Morning or Afternoon Highlights Tour in Sydney with a Local Guide

Leland_V, Jul 2026

Excellent way to see Sydney

The van we took seats 8 people - there were just four on this trip. The tour was very interesting, with several stops for walking around. One included a 20 minute walk along the harbour by on the east side. It was challenging as it included steps and a stone pathway then a boardwalk, then more stone and rock. It was a bit precarious for a senior. Our guide gave us the option to do this or not. He was quite knowledgeable as he grew up in Sydney and could tell us a lot of history. He included information on busses to take to Manley or Bondi.

Sydney Scenic Trike Tour

Eileen_Y, May 2026

Best way to see Sydney!

Our first day in Sydney (we arrived by ship) we decided to take a tour of the City by trike. Kim was our tour guide. He took us around to viewing areas so we could see Luna Park, Bondi Beach, The Opera House. We traveled over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and went through Domain Park. It was a terrific way to see the city! We highly recommend it!

Taronga Zoo Entry & Return Ferry - Sydney Harbour

LINDEN_S, Apr 2026

Enjoyable day out, glad we visited. 😃

Handy bus to take you to the top of the hill, so that you walk down through the zoo back to the ferry. Managed to see lots of animals even those that were asleep in the open. Seeing the Rhino, koalas(asleep) otters, penguins etc.... Food court was like a zoo inside with limited stock for the amount of people, probably use for snacks only. Take a pack.lunch. Overall very enjoyable experience and the smaller Cook ferry was very pleasant plenty of room.
