Justin was great. Very knowledgeable and made the information interesting to listen to. Will definitely try one of his other tours offered next time I visit Sydney.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour with me, Toni! Looking forward to having you on another tour next time you're in town. Cheers, Justin

Such a fun and interesting tour!

This was such a pleasant and informative way to spend a morning! Our guide Andrew is such a gem, and he was great engaging our 2 kids (ages 13 and 14) as well. If you want a tour off the beaten path and enjoy history, architecture, neighborhood and pub origins, etc. this is the tour for you!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks for the lovely review, have already passed it onto Andrew. We love showing guests a different side of Sydney and I'm glad you appreciated seeing it on a lovely morning walk. Cheers, Justin
