"We have had so many wonderful Tours With Locals, our tour with Chris was a little disappointing. Starting time was moved to 8:30 (which we agreed to). The North Sydney harbor front was a nice stroll & great views of the city across the bay. Took the train over to the city. A lot of back streets with not many hidden gems. Chris had a previous appointment, so our tour was only about 2 hours. I count on honest reviews. This is an honest one."
"We had a great time on our walking tour with Robyn. She was so knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend her if you really want to learn all about Sydney , its history and other little known facts. Definitely worth the price. "
"We really enjoyed our walking tour with Chris. He showed us many of the highlights of Sydney along with some hidden treasures we wouldn't have seen without him. His nice disposition made for a delightful day. I highly recommend him!"
"An unseasonably wet day in Sydney but enough dry patches to get a real sense of the centre of the city, particularly the Rocks area.
Robyn really knows her stuff was informative, entertaining and great company."
"My kids said Ms Robyn was "so so so nice!" and rated the tour top marks.
Robyn was a fantastic tour guide! It was one of the highlight of our trip to Australia. Great hidden gems, lots of history, and Robyn was very engaging with the kids. We packed a lot into a few hours. Easily time and money we'll spent!"
"We had an excellent time with Chris. He showed us some beautiful spots in Sydney. We enjoyed seeing Lavender Bay, Luna Park, the Sydney Bridge, seeing the beautiful Australian birds and finishing off in the rocks and Sydney Harbor. Chris had great insight and took some awesome photos for us! "
"Chris was amazing. We needed a tour outside his comfort zone, but he stepped up to the plate and created the perfect experience for us. I have mobility limitations making walking challenging. He figured out how to show us Sydney up close and personal without taxing me. He found exactly the sights that would interest us and then made it happen. He went above and beyond in every way. "
"Robyn was delightful and informative. It was windy and overcast — walking the Sydney Bridge did not appeal to me. She willing changed her normal route. Highly recommend!"
