First Sydney City Tour

We really enjoyed the tour in Sydney. As it was our first time in Australia, Rocky’s recommendations on where to go and what to eat were really helpful. We booked a day before and we’re thankful that he accommodated us. We enjoyed how “personalized” the tour seems to be. And above all, Rocky was very hospitable and nice, he didn’t make it feel a like a normal tour but he made it feel like a tour among friends (him included).

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed your first visit to Sydney and that my recommendations helped make the trip even better. I’m glad I was able to accommodate your last-minute booking and create a tour that felt personal and relaxed — just like exploring with friends. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I hope to welcome you back to Australia again soon. Kind regards, Rocky Rocky Road Tours & Travels

Best Sydney site seeing experience for extended family from overseas!

“We used Rocky Road Tours and Travels for our group of nine relatives over four days to explore Sydney and nearby tourist spots. The entire experience was completely stress-free. Rocky was incredibly flexible throughout and ensured our overseas visitors went home with lifelong memories. Due to visa approval delays, we had to change our plans multiple times, and Rocky was extremely patient in accommodating all our requests. He’s an excellent tour guide, and if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, flexible, and equipped with a comfortable vehicle who can cater to an extended family visiting from overseas, he’s your man!”

Operator response

Hi Sentil, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I truly appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure touring with your family and helping make your Sydney trip smooth and memorable. I’m really glad everything worked out despite the last-minute changes — your group was fantastic to travel with! Wishing everyone all the best, and I hope to see you again on your next visit to Sydney. Warm regards, Rocky Rocky Road Tours and Travels

The itinerary was well-planned, Sir Rocky is knowledgeable and friendly. Rocky Road Tours and Travels made sure the entire trip was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a premium, hassle-free travel experience. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!
