Sydney The Rocks Historical Pub Tour

Patrick_M, Mar 2026

Perfect “Chill but Interesting” Afternoon in Sydney

We were looking for something low-key to fill an afternoon—something more engaging than just sitting in a bar—and this tour ended up being the perfect choice. Exploring The Rocks through its historic pubs was a really unique way to experience a bit of Sydney’s layered history. The mix of storytelling, local context, and great stops along the way made it both entertaining and informative without ever feeling heavy. Our guide, Emily, was fantastic. Her enthusiasm—especially when it engaging everyone to enjoy our time together—was contagious and really added to the experience. She kept things fun, relaxed, and engaging the entire time. One unexpected highlight: one of the stops had a pizza featuring kangaroo and emu meat. While we didn't have time to order one during the tour, we were intrigued enough that we actually went back later that evening after a show at the Opera House to try it. If you’re looking for a casual, social, and slightly different way to explore Sydney, this tour is a great pick. Highly recommend.

Excellent!

This was a very well thought out, informative, and fun adventure. Jimmy was very knowledgeable about everything we encountered and was great at giving explanations and background on things. I found myself relaxing and just enjoying the experience. I would definitely recommend. The mini bus was comfortable, there were ample clean, rest stops. The food was exceptional and the wine education and tasting was great. We even got to see some local wildlife. I would definitely recommend this!

The Best Sydney Harbor Cruise

My husband & I booked this Sydney Harbor cruise after reading some of the great reviews but it exceeding our expectations. The number of people on the boat was perfect, didn't feel too crowed. Lots of space to move around & to see the sites. The food & drinks were amazing! The service was spectacular. Drinks were reasonably priced. It was a very extensive tour of the harbor & the timing was perfect! We went in February at 6pm. Highly recommend!

Exclusive Day on the Harbour

The most exclusive day on the harbour. From the moment Dave collected us from Darling Harbour we went entertained in the most regal fashion with a true Aussie gent dedicated to making sure we had a memorable day. His knowledge was 2nd to none, facilities on the yacht so comfortable, lunch was delicious, book your day with Dave and you won’t be disappointed. 👏👏

Delightful and delectable experience

This is a wonderful experience while visiting Sydney Australia. The service and staff are amazing as well as the works of art that the chef prepared for us for our dinner. Perfect time to visit would be at sunset as you can see the whole city in the daylight and after dark all lit up. Gorgeous views of Sydney.

Perfect Day on the Harvor

We boarded the vessel right on time. Our guide, Ned, was very helpful. He gave us a safety briefing, showed us the sights, offered us drinks and answered a million questions. We were blessed with perfect weather for viewing the sights and traveling across the harbor. Our trip progressed as described in the itinerary. Our first lunch stop was Doyle’s restaurant. Doyle’s is over 100 years old. There was a great selection of appetizers to choose from as well as a wonderful view of Watson’s Bay with Sydney in the background. Our second stop at Balmoral Beach was Public Dining. Again, we had a wonderful selection of main dishes to choose from and a nice view while dining. We finished our progressive lunch with a cheese board for dessert while cruising back to the Circular Quay drop off point. The pacing of the day was perfectly timed and we enjoyed it immensely.

Last night in sydney

I was worried about the boat not being there when we arrived but on the exact time they said they would be there they were. The food was slow but very good. The weather was horrible the night we cruised but we were still able to get our pictures we wanted. The staff was Amazing and kept our wine glasses full. It’s a smallish cruise so a nice family date situation. Not a party boat. And just what we were looking for

Small Group Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Lunch from Sydney

Anthony_M, Apr 2025

Hunters valley wine tour

The wine tours were informative and very enjoyable. The iron gates winery tour was the first and the staff and wine were very good. Gavin our host there was very passionate about his job and the wine was excellent. The next stop was a gin and vodka distillery, got to be honest, for us this was a bit naff. The staff were on script and it was clear this was the selling stop. Didn't quite fit with a hunter valley wine tour. We ate at the 4 pines winery and the food was very nice. This was followed by a cheese and wine combo. Some amazing cheeses and good wine as well. But the star of the show was Hannah. She was very entertaining and just like Gavin earlier really knew her stuff. Last stop was a wine and chocolate stop. For us this was a learning experience, when we thought about it after it made sense but pairing wine with the different sorts of chocolate to adjust the taste of the wine to your preference. All in all recommended, but I would say it's a long 11 to 12 hour day from Sydney. Got to add, our driver Peter was also very good, helpful and also knowledgeable.
