We were meet by Graham on time at our hotel He was excellent from the start, taking time to explain the history and not to travel too fast so we did not miss anything I would strongly suggest you ask for Graham he was brilliant , mannerly and knowledgeable

We did the half-day tour with Graham who was a very friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable guide whom we got to know quite well as we also did a Blue Mountains tour with him. We also felt very safe with his driving. The whole experience was very relaxed and enjoyable, would highly recommend. A special mention for this Company as they honoured our Bookings even though we were the only two for both tours and they would not have made any money - a sign of real integrity!

As is often the case, a good tour guide can make all the difference. In our case we were matched up with Scott who met us promptly at our hotel for our private (there were five of us) tour around Sydney. It is always refreshing to hear that your tour guide grew up in the area you are touring. Scott was able to embellish the usual highlights with stories of his own that made it all seem more real. Our tour took us from downtown to the botanical gardens to the North Headlands before circling back through picturesque neighborhoods. The last thing Scott did for us is book a reservation for us with Doyles on the Beach in Watson's Bay. We had driven by this restaurant during our tour and he suggested it as an iconic dinner house that had the added bonus of requiring the ferry to get there. So rather than drop us off at our hotel he took us back to Circular Quay, explained the process of getting on the ferry and off we went. A great sightseeing day with a great tour guide and a happy ending for dinner.

Sidney is a great city, we explored on the open top buses where there are two routes. Also a trip around the harbour was interesting and the Opera House is worth a visit. Travelling around is easy as public transport is very good. Theres so much to do the only way to find out is to visit the city which is highly recommended.

Everything was first class! From pick-up to drop-off, our guide was attentive and very knowledgeable. My health was not great and I had to make use of a cane. Our guide made sure that I was safe and taken care of. The sights we saw were beautiful and our guide made great use of our time.

I would like to tell you what a wonderful time we had with our tour guide Hugh. He picked us up at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney and was one of the most interesting people and guides we have ever met. His knowledge of the area and history was amazing. We felt like we really knew Sydney well after this tour. You are very fortunate to have a man of his knowledge and caliber as yiour guide. His kindest and consideration of all things regarding our comfort was far above anything we expected. He was a true gentleman. Thank you for this experience.

E' la prima volta che ci capita, e ne abbiamo fatti di viaggi in tutto il mondo, con tantissimi tours a cui abbiamo partecipato. Questo era un tour in lingua inglese, noi ci arrangiamo ma non lo capiamo molto bene, la guida/driver lo sapeva, infatti avevamo richiesto lo MP3/IPod in lingua italiana per capire bene. La guida lo sapeva, eravamo solo in 4 coppie, le altre tre parlavano inglese. Ad una fermata panoramica, non può posteggiare quindi ci fa scendere velocemente e noi abbiamo capito "I come back", cioè poi torno. Facciamo la nostra passeggiata e quando torniamo al punto di ritrovo non cè più nessuno, neanche gli altri passeggeri. Era una tappa lontana dal nostro albergo, per fortuna comunque a Sydney, e il tour doveva proseguire per altre soste, quindi non abbiamo neppure finito il giro. Infuriati ci siamo rivolti al nostro tour operator , che si è subito messo in contatto con AEA, ci è stato detto che c'era stato un misunderstanding.....e certo. Comunque nessun rimborso, niente scuse e ci siamo dovuti pure pagare un taxi per tornare all'albergo e in più abbiamo dovuto pagare 50 euro di telefonata ricevuta dal tour operator in Australia
