Sit back and relax or choose an active day with plenty of time outside of the vehicle as your experienced guide showcases you this world class city. You will be picked up and dropped off from the airport, cruise port or local hotel.

Best way to see Australia and New Zealand!
David helped make our trip to Australia and New Zealand a dream come true. We initially hired him to provide a driver/guide in Melbourne and then he ended up providing driver/guides at each of our many cruise port stops. He made it all so easy and stress-free.
This is a world apart from the way that we used to travel and I cannot recommend it or his services highly enough. David must keep his phone on all the time because he responds immediately to any question or concern. Each driver was able to accommodate our wishes while also serving as knowledgeable guide to the area.
If you can afford a private driver and guide, hire David. We are so happy that we did!

Thank you so much Helen and we are very happy to hear that the trip was a success!

Worth it!
This is the best way to explore Sydney! Our guide, Mark, was excellent and made us feel like we were family visiting from out of town. This was the best day of our trip by far! This tour is worth the money. Don’t hesitate to book Mark for a private tour!

Wow, what a day, it could not have been more beautiful
We had a great all-day photo tour with Andrew in Sydney and the surrounding area. Andrew showed us many spots where we could admire the fascinating skyline of Sydney. We also went on a short walk with him (Hermitage Foreshore Walk), with great views and beaches. He gave us as much time as we wanted at each stop to take our photos. We were very impressed by the cliff section near Bondi Beach. We made lots of stops and every stop was a unique experience that we will always remember. He gave us also a lot of information when we had a stop. Thank you very much for a wonderful day. We can recommend Andrew 100%.

Our short stay in Sydney
We had a wonderful time on our private 4 hour tour of Sydney! Andrew picked us up at our hotel, drove us all around the city while educating us about the History of the region and many interesting stories, then dropped us back at the hotel. I definitely recommend this tour!!

A day with KG
Had a great time touring around Sydney. Kerima Gae was a very good guide. She showed us all around the city, highlighting all the important points of interest. She was answering all of our questions and even prepared for us a nice picnic with cookies and tea. Lovely day!

Tour in Australia
The difficulty it took to arrange this tour. Nice staff. Requested up to a full day and was scheduled for a half day only.
