Our tour in Sydney was great! Our guide, John, helped us to navigate the public transportation system and took us to all the places we discussed prior to arriving. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored the tour to our interests. We really enjoyed seeing the city from a local's perspective.

This was the biggest scam on this app! We had a guide that walked us over 6kms, despite being told the day before that there was an elderly smoker in our group! He couldn’t find us at a popular restaurant at Circular Quay! We had to find him! We found the toilets as he didn’t know where the public ones were. His first stop was the Opera House gift shop… he knew few facts about the Opera House. We walked kilometers around the Botanical gardens… he knew nothing about the sculptures or trees there. We paid $630 and he didn’t even have an itinerary set out (he told us that we wouldn’t be walking more than 300m at any one time) There were plaques on the walk around the gardens, no information about them. I asked if we could go to Mrs Macquaries Chair as I had seen it on other advertised tours and the signs said it was very close. Once there my elderly Auntie said she would get a drink at the next stop. Jon (the guide) started walking us back the way we had come, I saw a kiosk very close and bought some water. Then I set about finding toilets. Jon directed us to some that were closed. He then said he’d take us to the centre of town to show us a sculpture of fallen indigenous people and we were to catch the light rail. We said we had been there so he took us to the QVB building. I insisted he accompany my Aunty to buy shoes while I took Miss 13 to Mecca. We met up and headed by train to Bondi. After we had thrown our tickets in the bin he said we could have used them again!!! We went to a bar at Bondi. He wanted us to go upstairs to get a good photo, I noticed a lift and directed my Aunty to it. He stated he had never seen the lift. Once a few photos were taken there we headed back to town. He told us we could go all the way by bus, but the bus terminated at Bondi junction rail stn. This ‘guide’ knew nothing of the local surrounds or PT options. He knew very few facts and anecdotes. He could not answer any questions with specifics or interesting history. Instead he told us about his catholic upbringing, the reason he couldn’t ride a bike (his fathers fault), the reason he wasn’t a farmer (his father wouldn’t let him), the reason he was not ‘on the ball’… he stayed at his sisters last night and awoke at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep! He asked for a schooner of beer when we stopped for a drink!!!! I was absolutely outraged that he didn’t even provide us with a bottle of water, much less tickets/info … There was more walking to dinner, Spice Alley- which was the single useful and interesting piece of information he gave us! And no, he didn’t buy us a drink or a meal, he saved our table while we bought our own! Useful info for others is that Spice Alley only accepts cards (no cash) this is information we could have used as we pay cash for everything!!! Another tip our guide Didn’t give us! But he did tell us that his daughter went to uni there and has switched courses etc etc. Avoid this tour at ALL costs!! It is a huge waste of money! Take a $49 tour if you really want to see Sydney’s famous sites!

We flew to Sydney for a one day tour. It was very important to us to have a guide that was very organized and could create a day that would incorporate as much of what we wanted to cover with our guides expertise and coordination. I had provided all our flight info and needed to be sure we planned accordingly. We walked overall about 10 miles and were able to walk the bridge, walk around the Opra house and get some beautiful pics. Took the trains and buses to Bondi beach. Wanted to experience that. Went to the Australian wildlife sanctuary . Was ok, wish we had gone to the larger zoo in retrospect. Our guide wasn’t as organized as we expected and the tour and agenda could have been preplanned better keeping in mind our travel parameters.

Banrangaroo, Sydney history and architecture, Manly. Our tour guide Peter Sullivan is outstanding. .

John was an experience! Really down to earth and he told to write in the review that he's got a sarcastic sense of humor which he really does. He's really flexible with what you want and won't mind changing stuff on the fly. My niece and I wanted to go to the fish market and he hadn't been in some years so we went and had a blast! He originally had something else planned in the afternoon but the weather cleared and we ended up at Bondi Beach and just chilled out for a bit. He took us on a walk across the Sydney Habour Bridge and it's a bit of a walk about 2 miles but really worth it. Just take your time!

My wife and I participated in the 8 hour walking tour of Sydney, which included a ferry trip to Manly Beach. We visited all the places on the pre-arranged list, and then some. Peter was terrific (and quite entertaining). He has deep knowledge of the city and its history, and pointed out sights that most tourists would miss. He also helped us identify other places to visit if we had time on subsequent days in Sydney. To top things off, Peter led us to a pub where we had a wonderful dinner. We highly recommended City Unscripted (and Peter).

Peter, our tour guide, communicated with us in advance via email to ensure he understood our reasons to visit Sydney and Australia to ensure he would show us those sites we would be most interested in We covered a large swath of sites in Sydney and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Peter is one of the best tours we ever had.

Ross was very interesting and chatty guide. He reached out for in advance of the trip to get our preferences. He designed the day around our desires and we happily to be flexible with the plans.

Excellent and fully tailored to our needs and what we wanted to see and do. Such a great mix of history and local favorite spots. So happy to get out of the tourist areas and see some of the best loved areas of Sydney.
