Sydney Opera House Official Guided Walking Tour

Von_P, Oct 2026

It was very informative...

It was very informative walking tour. We got to check out the different stages with an the opera house. It's a marvel of architectural design. Back story about the story was a bummer. Make sure to get there early enough to check bags. If your bag is a certain size the will make you check it. Thankfully staff expedited me checking in my bag if not for that I would have missed the tour. Make sure to get there earlier for you check in.

Blue Mountains with Oz (Les G)

Les the tour guide was amazing with all the tidbits of knowledge about the Blue Mountain tour. There were anecdotes, "dad type jokes", birding, flora and fauna info, timing of when to see what to minimize crowds for photo ops and experiences. Highly recommend this tour!

WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive

Thao_T, Oct 2026

When you give a wombat a carrot!

An amazing day, traveling on a bus south of Sydney to get to viewing wild wombats and kangaroos! Our guide was knowledgeable and coordinated the tour, snacking, drinking, bathroom breaks, dinner food accommodations, and wombats photography, and star gazing/photo with ease! The tour does take up the entire 10 hours from noon to 10pm. Our guide dropped us off at our hotel/ airbnb. Trip felt safe and very well coordinated even in a big group setting. With the tour, dinner, snacks, wildlife viewing, trip was very decently priced !!

Superior Tour

Excellent tour. The tour guide Helder had lots to tell about Sydney, you could tell he was passionate about his work doing more than was required. Our group was small, yet he did an excellent work to explain everything and answer our questions. Gave a superb overview of Sydney to help everyone decide where they want to explore during the rest of their stay.

magical blue mountains

This was a great day! We went to the featherdale wildlife area and got to pet kangaroos and koalas and see many other animals. We stopped in an area that had lots of choices for lunch before moving on to the three sisters and scenic world. We had great views from the scenic world rides. We had a small group bus which I prefer. Our tour guide. Aaron was wonderful and had lots of information.

Sydney Whale-Watching Cruise Including Lunch or Breakfast

Anna_W, Sep 2026

Be Prepared & Whales Guaranteed

When we checked in for our tickets, it was recommended to get motion sickness pills and majority of the boat did not do so! The gentleman at the ticket counter said the swells were 1-2 m however, that was not the case! The swells were more like 4-5 m and the weather was cloudy with a chance for some rain in the afternoon. That rain started about halfway through our excursion. The sound of people vomiting on the boat was awful! You have to vomit in a throw-away bag, or I guess over the side of the boat, but not in a bathroom. Fresh air will make people feel better but several just stayed seated inside which I think makes it worse. My husband and I dressed for the weather and spent most of the time outside of the interior portion of the boat. Neither of us got sick, and the rain did come. The whales however started performing more and coming out of the water and breaching high up…it was magnificent!!! The company served breakfast prior to going out but for anyone who has any sort of seasickness, don’t eat!! The open sea water is NO JOKE!! Overall, seeing whales in the open water and just getting to see them as you would on a nature documentary was just amazing and I would do it again! We also had some dolphins that came up literally within a meter of the boat and were jumping through the waves and playing! Also note - you may get wet if standing on the lower level on the side of the boat as the waves splash up.

Sydney City Highlights & Hidden Gems: Private or Small Group Tour

Annete_M, Sep 2026

Daniel, our guide, was...

Daniel, our guide, was extremely well-informed and had a wonderful way of bringing Australia’s history to life. He took us to places that not many tourists know about, making the experience feel truly unique and authentic. My husband and I have been to Australia several times, and this time we simply accompanied friends who were visiting for the first time. We expected a fairly run-of-the-mill tour, but we were pleasantly surprised by the depth and richness of the experience. The tour was not just about seeing the usual sights or finding the best angles for photographs. Daniel’s stories and knowledge gave us a much deeper appreciation of each place, its history, and its significance. Even though we had visited Australia many times before, we learned so much that was new to us. It was an enjoyable, insightful, and memorable experience. Highly recommended, especially if you want to see Australia beyond the usual tourist spots.

Fun Day Experience

Great trip if you are looking to take a leisure trip and get in several iconic sites. The Blue Mountains were spectacular. Photo op at Three Sisters and got to experience all three rides at Scenic World. The driver, Yan, was helpful and seemed to enjoy giving tours and sharing his thoughts.

Exclusive Blue Mountains Wildlife and Bushwalk Tour From Sydney

Rachel_C, Jun 2026

Lots and lots of stairs....

Lots and lots of stairs. My watch said I climbed 16 floors, down then up! Absolutely heavenly, even though it was cloudy all day. I highly recommend it if you are in good shape. I am in my late 70s and kept up just fine. The group I was with didn't seem interested in taking photos, so they went pretty fast down. I started back up quite quickly so I could enjoy the forest and take photos on the way back.
