Got a good feel for Sydney - The guide was very good and knows Sydney very well. We went all over the city to a lot of points of interest. He gave us time to take pictures and at one major beach, a coffee. We came during off season, which in my opinion, is better because the crowds are less. But it is colder 50 f.

Good intro to Sydney - We enjoyed this tour and appreciated our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Paul. It was a great way to get an overview of some different parts of the city, and we also learned some interesting facts (historical and current). I would recommend this tour.

Great off the beaten path tour - Paul was a great guide and conversationalist. We saw places I had never seen before. Good for first timers and those who have been to Sydney before.

Good Quick Tour - Ian was a great guide, he had us laughing the whole time. Very knowledgeable about the history of Australia and the city itself. This is, like other tours I've booked through this site, a "hop-on, hop-off" tour, as most is done while driving along the streets, and when we did stop, it was just to hop off briefly for photos and to look around. The stop at Bondi Beach was a bit longer. I liked it because it was quick, pretty thorough, and it gave me an idea of the layout of the city (I'd just arrived) and what I wanted to go back and see on my own, to spend time at my leisure (and what I'd seen enough of after the tour). I definitely saw stuff and learned stuff that I wouldn't have on my own. Good tour, and thanks to Ian for being a really great guide!

Great guide, but tour was a miss for me - The best part of the trip was the guide, Nigel. He was interesting and knowledgeable. The tour itself was not exactly what I expected. We drove around the city [at a quick pace] and saw many neighborhoods--with an excellent narrative from Nigel. But there were only a few stops, and limited opportunities for photos. If you are looking for a couple hour tour for an overview of the city neighborhoods, this may be the trip for you. If you want to take photographs and see downtown or more of the "old city" I would skip this tour.

Great bus tour of Sydney and the southern coast. - Really lovely guide who was very chatty and filled us in with local info and stories from the past and the present. We had plenty of time at our stops and our guide was very good at looking after us all. As a first timer in Sydney, I would have liked a little more of the detail of each area and each building we passed in the city.

Better during the warmer season - It was ok not really my thing, but I'm sure other people will enjoy. There were some beautiful views, and if you go when it's summer, I'm sure you'll enjoy the beach.
