What are people saying about Sydney

Sydney The Rocks Guided Walking Tour

Robyn_R, Sept 2026

The Rocks Sydney

George made this tour entertaining and educational. A wonderful experience and opportunity to hear convict settlement stories. Highly recommend for Australians and visitors to our country to learn about early European settlement and Indigenous Australians who already lived here.

Taronga Zoo Entry & Return Ferry - Sydney Harbour

Yuri_C, Sept 2026

5⭐️s! Wonderful Day at Taronga Zoo.

I had a really great day at Taronga Zoo and enjoyed every minute of it. The zoo is beautiful, very well kept, and has such a great setting overlooking Sydney Harbour. There’s plenty to see, and it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours just walking around and enjoying the animals and the views. The ferry ride from Sydney was a great part of the experience too. It was easy to find and very convenient, and the views of the harbour along the way were fantastic. It’s a nice way to arrive at the zoo rather than just taking a car or bus. The staff and volunteers were very friendly and helpful, and the map made it easy to find our way around. One tip: take the bus up after getting off the ferry, especially if you don’t want to walk up the steep hill. Then you can enjoy a much easier walk back down through the zoo. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable day, with the zoo, the animals, and the beautiful Sydney Harbour views all in one experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney, especially families and anyone who enjoys nature and wildlife. Absolutely worth doing!

Blue Mountains Day Tour Including Parramatta River Cruise

Make sure Les is your tour guide

Long drive, but nice tour. Les got us to the zoo at 8.30 which meant lots of time to explore by ourselves before the public came in. Les will make a million dad jokes, but he kept the crowd engaged and also shared lots of stats about Sydney and Australia. A lot more than what we got from the Sydney tour bus. If youre from Africa, the mountains might be a bit underwhelming as we have several similar landscapes in Africa, however the cable cars will be a unique, great, and slightly scary, experience. The tour itself is a 3.5 star, however with Les as the tour guide, it definitely bumps it up to 5.

Sydney Grand Tour by Helicopter

Adam_R, Aug 2026

First class experience all the way!

The Famous Red Shark Thrill Ride with Oz Jet Boating!

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
