Personalized tour of Sydney with John Campo

Jenny_H, Sep 2024

The tour with City Unscripted and John Campo that I booked via Viator was incredible. John was very hospitable and provided an immersive and very comprehensive tour of the city of Sydney. I had travelled for over 24 hours but felt energized by the gorgeous views and varied paths John shared to see the Opera House and the vast beauty of the Sydney Harbour. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys walking and a lovely and attentive host and guide. John took care to see me off at the airport and ensured I stayed safe all the way through. Very impressive and just a wow service. Thanks so very much. I want to come back and explore more after this experience. Thank you City Unscripted and Viator - if all guides are like John Campo you would continue to have a thriving business for many years to come. Jenny H.

The name of the tour says it all!

Naomi_S, Jun 2024

I was truly the tour "with a local: 100% personalized & private"! All thanks to my wonderful guide, Ross, I had just a perfect day in Sydney, touring around the city by public transport just like locals do. Ross was very conscientious and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the city. I enjoyed hearing about his family, his work before retirement and his current volunteer work, and by the end of the tour, I came to highly respect him for what he does for his country. The luxury of having a private guide also allowed me an opportunity to change plans on a whim. Prior to the tour, we had talked about visiting one of the art museums, but since it turned out to be a gorgeous day, Ross suggested that we take a ferry ride to Watsons Bay, which turned out to be an unexpectedly nice outing. All in all, I would highly recommend that you take this tour. Even if you only have several hours to visit Sydney between your flights, having a private guide will let you take in the city as if you were staying in the city for a couple of days!

Response from Host, Jun 2024
