George was an exceptional...

George was an exceptional tour guide. He kept everyone corralled & we could hear him quite well even if you were in the back of the 20ish ppl. He was very knowledgable about The Rocks interesting history & answered our questions with ease. He was very personable with a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him & The Rocks Guided Walking Tour. It’s only 1.5 hrs. TY Geo. & Michael!

Taronga Zoo Entry & Return Ferry - Sydney Harbour

Lois_S, Apr 2026

Another wonderful Viator experience

Buying the Viator ferry and zoo pass made our zoo trip seamlessly easy. We got in the ticket line at Captain Cooke cruises and just by scanning our UPC code they handed us 2 tickets for the two-way ferry trip and 2 tickets for the zoo admittance. Nobody saw or had access to our credit card while we were in line at the window, or at the zoo. Getting on the ferry and into the zoo was just as easy because we had our tickets. At the ferry dock near the zoo a free bus will come to take you to the front gate and outside the front gate it will come to take you back to the ferry dock when your time at the zoo is over. Just remember to keep the ferry tickets somewhere safe because you will need to show them to get back on the ferry. We count this as yet another wonderful Viator experience!

Sydney Grand Tour by Helicopter

SujithK_P, Apr 2026

Brilliant, the perfect gift!

Got this for my partner's birthday, and I had never seen him giddy with that much joy. It was really cool to get from the city to the Northern beaches in just a few minutes, and flying right by the Crown tower was a highlight! We were comfortably seated and well taken care of throughout. Will get this again for when my cousin graduates :)

30-Minute Sydney Harbour Jet Boat Thrill Ride

Shaun_W, Mar 2026

Thrilling!

Experience is as described: 30-45min speedboat ride from Sydney Harbour. Staff very clear with safety advice & driver always gave a signal just before he'd do a spin or dive on the boat so you'd count it in together, and every now & again he'd stop to check everyone was OK. Red ponchos are offered free of charge, but you can choose to get soaked in your clothes, and you will get soaked! I'm glad I chose to do this experience

Sydney The Rocks Historical Pub Tour

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.
