Great Introduction to Sydney! - Peter was a fabulous guide and packed a ton into our short amount of time without us ever feeling rushed. Love that we took the lightrail and ferry. We learned a ton and feel very comfortable making our way around the city on our own.

Wonderful walking tour of Sydney with a visit to Manly Beach - My 22 year old daughter and I had a wonderful 5+ hour tour with Peter on a beautiful Sunday. This was our first full day of a week in Sydney, and it was the perfect tour, as he showed us the city and how to navigate public transportation. He took us to Manly Beach on a walk with gorgeous vistas. It was the perfect mix of Australian history, learning the city, and exploring one of the beach towns. I highly recommend Peter if you are planning a day tour of Sydney.

Awesome tour - The tour of hidden gems was amazing, my guide Ania was very knowledgeable and flexible with our plans. She took me to many spots that. I never would have seen on my own.

Best Way to Kickoff Your Trip to Sydney! - What a perfect way to begin our first trip to Sydney! John C was quick to reach out with an intro and communicate about our interests and private walking tour. We saw, we learned, we walked, talked and laughed. Not only were we able to learn about this amazing city from a wonderful local pro, we were able to easily acclimate for our week + visit so that we could make the most of our trip, commute easily via walking, ferry or metro with confidence. Highly recommend!

Private Tour in Sydney - We enjoyed, and greatly appreciated, our private tour of Sydney by City Unscripted. From the beginning, with the survey they send you to complete, we were able to share what we wanted to do and the limitations of our group. John was our tour guide and was helpful and responsive with a couple of questions before we even arrived in Australia! While there, he did a great job planning the route we took through the city, helping to minimize steps and inclines where possible, per the limitations of our group. We’re fans of private tours and would recommend one if you have special requests and/or needs within your group!

Sydney in a day - A walking, tram, and ferry tour with Peter is a must. We felt we got to see many hidden gems and got to know the city.

Perfect Day - John had given our day a lot of thought from where to catch a bus for the most direct route to Coogee Beach to the path we would take along the coast to Bondi Beach. We did everything we hoped for. Saw beaches, amazing cliffs and crashing waves, incredible surfers. We had lunch at icebergs overlooking the swimming pool at Bondi Beach. We caught a bus to Watson Bay and then a ferry back. John gave us an opal card and then showed us where we needed to meet our excursion for the next day. We used the trams together. John was patient with us when we were stopping very frequently to take video and pictures of the stunning scenery.

Very knowledgeable guide - The guide, Ross, went above and beyond our expectations giving us a thorough and delightful tour. His knowledge of Sydney’s history and infrastructure because he is an engineer who worked for the city elevated our understanding of it. Highly recommend
