Great Sydney tour

We had an excellent small group tour with our guide Peter. We covered a lot of ground in Sydney and saw/experienced all the key things on our list! The Opera house is wonderful as expected, but we also got to explore Darling Harbour, the Rocks, and other local sites. Peter was able to adapt along the way for us to get our best experience. Wonderful memories about Sydney, we'll be pleased to return again.

Operator response

Darling Harbour, the Rocks, the Opera House, sounds like an amazing adventure! Thank you for letting us be part of it.
