I woke up violently ill so needed to cancel. I sent a note to the operator asking if we could go the following day as I was sick. Never heard back.
Response from Host, July 2026
Your review is factually incorrect.
You state that you "never heard back." That is simply false.
You contacted us on February 8 at 9:22 a.m., approximately one hour before your tour was due to start, after you had already become a no-show under our 24-hour cancellation policy. That policy, which is clearly stated at the time of booking, provides no refund or rescheduling for cancellations made within 24 hours.
Despite having no obligation to do so, we replied the same day and offered you two complimentary places on the following day's tour (February 9). We absorbed that cost ourselves by giving up seats that could otherwise have been sold to paying guests.
Offering an alternative date was a goodwill gesture, not something you were entitled to under the booking terms.
The disappointing part is not that you became ill; unfortunately, that can happen to anyone. The disappointing part is that you chose to leave a one-star review claiming we "never heard back" when our response offering you a free alternative date exists in writing. Future customers deserve an accurate account of what actually happened.

Lili the tour guide was amazing. Knowledgeable and friendly with a sweet sense of humor. She made you want to come back and explore more of Sydney. If you can, ask for Lili. And wait for the “birds” 😀

A very informative walk around historical Sydney. Lilldy our guide was so very enthusiastic and passionate you couldn’t help but get drawn into her wealth of knowledge that she shared with us all. You simply must go on this walk!
Alfred_C, Mar 2026
Lily (Li Li) was a wealth of knowledge and passionate about the city of Sydney. The 2 1/2 hour walking tour was filled with history, local culture and knowledge. She showed us where the city was and where/ how it became Sydney today. Highly recommended for history lovers and if you don’t mind being on your feet for a long walk throughout the CBD, especially the Rocks.

Highlight of our trip. Highly recommend. My 2 kids really enjoyed it. They are 13 and 10. So much to see. Lots of variety. Our guide was amazing. So funny and an absolute delight! Cant say enough good things about it. Book it! Worth every penny.
Alice_L, Mar 2026
Highly recommended walking tour! You will get a great overview of the history, architecture and buildings of sydney then decide which attractions to visit in detail in your own time.
We got to see a different side of sydney and really enjoyed the tour.
Kevin_T, Mar 2026
Lilly, our guide, was very informative and passionate about Sydney history and culture. She especially liked talking about the plant life in the Sydney Botanical Garden. Lots of walking, often a little too fast for me, but overall OK.
Oluyemi_A, Feb 2026
I am giving this tour 5 stars because of the tour operator, Bakhtiyor, even though I didn’t go on this specific tour. Unfortunately, on the morning of the walking tour, past the cancellation deadline, one of us had knee pain and couldn’t walk. I messaged the tour operator in the Viator app. I asked if we could join the walking tour on a different day later in the week. He responded later that evening offering to put us on a bus tour a few days later. We went on the bus tour a few days later and he was funny and we enjoyed the tour. I would give him 5 stars for bus tour too.
Annette_L, Feb 2026
Lily was a very knowledgeable guide. We covered a lot of ground on this tour, passing by many highlights of Sydney. Would recommend this tour.
