Our tour with Kori ( Korhan Karakoyun ) was fantastic. Pick up was smooth and I appreciated Kori’s contact in advance to make it so. Kori is an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide and made our tour both informative and a wonderful experience of visiting so much of Sydney. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Sydney to take a tour with Kori, whether it was this particular tour or one of the others he offers.
