Pick up was easy and Ben adjusted our time so we could get the most daylight. We got to explore the famous stops and got some history on the way. Ben is friendly and nice to spend the day with, a local family man. The Opera House stop was lovely and it was nice to have a loop and Ben came to get us. We got to see some cool areas on the way to Bondi and then explore the beaches and some gorgeous lookouts. Ben told us lots of fun things to do around Sydney and many of the festivities throughout the year. We also went to some parks and saw tons of wildlife that was really cool. It was such an enjoyable way to get to know Sydney. The van was super clean and comfortable with lots of room. First class all the way.
Hi Jackie, Todd and Keaton, Thanks for your great review of my 4 hour private Sydney tour. It's a great introduction into Sydney's sights and local secrets. Hope to meet you all again when returning to Sydney. Best regards, Ben Barry Owner - Personalised Sydney Tours
Ben did an amazing job showing us Sydney. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area including history of the area. He tailored our experience to the things we wanted to see.
Hi Colleen and Kent, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed our adaptive private Aussie wildlife tour. Was a fun tour and hope to see you both again! Ben
I'm a travel advisor and was on a personal vacation in Australia with my 18-year old son when I found Ben's Personalised Sydney Tours available through one of my travel suppliers. I booked the tour online and Ben was very quick to respond with a confirmation and pick-up time/location details. I found him to be prompt and courteous, an excellent driver, patient with all the questions I asked, and was familiar with the history of Sydney. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Ben for my clients who are visiting Sydney--either on a customized itinerary or from a cruise ship. He was excellent to work with. It's rare to find such a professional individual who delivers on all points.
Hi Jennifer, It was a pleasure taking you around Sydney's historic area - The Rocks, the CBD, botanical gardens and our eastern adventure out to Rose Bay and Bondi Beach. Thanks again and be great to meet you both again. Regards, Ben Barry
I booked this tour for my parents who were visiting Sydney for the first time (first time in AU actually). Ben was very responsive and curated a lovely itinerary for them. They had a wonderful time and will be taking back some great memories. Thanks Ben!
Hi Ramona, Thanks for the nice words. It was an absolute pleasure meeting your lovely parents and we all enjoyed a fabulous day seeing the sights and 'secrets' of our spectacular Sydney. I hope to see them again one day. Thanks again, Ben
