An Unforgettable Day in Sydney

Ellen_B, Apr 2024

This private tour was so worth the cost because my husband and I only had one day to see Sydney on a layover. The tour guide was very informative about the city and drove us to off-the-beaten/gem of places in the city. Had a wonderful lunch at an upscale historical restaurant on the harbor that the guide recommended. The tour guide let us walk around specific areas and recommended the best harbor ferry ride, which we took later in the day. I will most definitely seek out these private tours in the future in my travels. Thank you Viator!!

Sydney Private Tour

Barry_L, Apr 2024

Great tour with Korhan…..we saw areas of Sydney in the residential neighborhoods that were beautiful. Had a fantastic lunch. He was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this private tour!

Great intro to Sydney

Jennifer_A, Apr 2024

We had an absolutely wonderful first day in Sydney thanks to our guide Daniel. He picked us up from the airport and whisked us around the city showing us all the big highlights (the Opera House and walking across the Harbor Bridge) as well as little neighborhoods and unique details. He had excellent recommendations for coffee and meat pies. We couldn't have asked for a better intro to the city on our first day.

Great private tour

Herbert_H, Apr 2024

Daniel was excellent and so knowledgeable about Sydney. He was personable and we really loved our day with him. He made our day in Sydney totally enjoyable. Herb, Deb, Linda and Darlene from Hartwell Ga. 4/1/24

John_B, Mar 2024

Our guide Fazli was very knowledgeable about Sydney histort and Austrailia. Was on time and picked us up at our hotel. Showed us many hidden gems we would not have seen on a bus tour. Highly recommend this tour and this company!

Great day tour of Sydney.

Dennis_B, Mar 2024

First time in Sydney and had a half a day to see all the sights. Couldn't have had a better tour guide than Daniel. He was articulate, knowledgeable, friendly and most accommodating to whatever we wanted to do. We had a beautiful day to see the city and Daniel made sure we made the most of it. Highly recommended.

Excellent Sydney City Tour!

Marrholly, Mar 2024

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Korhan was the best tour guide ever. He was so knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating. He completely customized our tour to ensure we had the best experience in Sydney. It was truly an amazing day with him. We highly recommend. You will love it.

Daniel

Dan_B, Mar 2024

Daniel was very knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. It was a tremendous day. The whole day was great!

AMAZING Day in Sydney March 8, 2024

Rick_B, Mar 2024

Daniel was an outstanding host/guide. We are on a 3 month cruise with a number of ports/tours. I can say that this was one of the best tours we have taken. Daniel was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We were able to see everything we wanted to. The car was very comfortable for 4 travelers and clean. We laughed as we passed all of the huge tour buses and minivans as we were ahead of all of them. Loved the Sydney harbor, Opera house, walking across the Harbor bridge, The Rocks, Kirribilli, Milsons point, Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, Rose bay, Watsons bay, Parsley bay/bridge, Don Ritchie Grove, Bondi beach and the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk to Tamarama Beach. Daniel took us for lunch at Harry's Famous Cafe de Wheels which was great. Overall, HIGHLY recommend this tour and Daniel as a Guide. Sydney is a MUST SEE in Australia. Loved every minute of this tour.

Well worth it!

Walter_G, Mar 2024

I enjoyed the sites, the gelato and the knowledgeable and humor of our tour guide. I was thrilled to see the iconic sites but, what really put it over the top for me was the supporting story behind them that he provided and the attention he gave to what we wanted to see and do. I would, if given the chance, do it again. I would highly recommend it to my friends.

We had the best time ever...

Taya_T, Mar 2024

We had the best time ever at our tour. The guide was so knowledgeable about everything. He showed us all hidden and beautiful places. He answered the questions. Thank you very much, Fazli!

fernando_c, Feb 2024

Farli was a great guide. Knew all the nooks and crannies. Even if a bit expensive it was Well worth the money.

Amazing Tour

ELAINE_F, Feb 2024

This was an amazing private tour. It was the best tour we had on our three days in Sydney. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and showed us many places we didn’t even know existed. He was pleasant and we worked together to decide what we wanted to see . I highly recommend doing a private tour with Korhan. Great Job!!!!

Best Sydney tour ever!

Peggy_B, Feb 2024

This was a great tour of Sydney. Our tour guide took us to all the hot spots with historical commentary that enhanced our experience. He dropped us off at the bridge walk, then picked us on the opposite side, we fit in many sites that would have never found. Additional bonus he scoped out the best picture spots and took our pictures. He drove us to hard to find beach spots that were beautiful, then to the best place for lunch and back to the city and our hotel.

Great tour

Colleen_h, Feb 2024

Fazli was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The tour was private so just the 5 of us, so made it nice and relaxing.

Sydney sights

Blair_K, Feb 2024

Korhan did a great job. We saw all the main sights plus a number of small less known spots with great views

A very special day in Sydney

Janice_S, Feb 2024

Our guide Korhan was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided history, culture and humor. We went all over this beautiful city seeing places we knew of and places we did not. Fantastic day highly recommend!
