What people are saying about Sydney

The ride was really fun and the guide explained clearly what to expect during the ride, so it was not that scary. The views at the habour were amazing and the guide also stopped a few times at scenic places to explain to us what where the sights around the habour. Do expect to get slightly splashed but it is definitely worth it!

Great customer service and content. We had to leave 15 mins early so Guide made sure we saw the changing rooms before everyone else so we could get away. Wish I had known that could have arrived a bit early to visit the museum and tour was 15 mins longer than advertised. A must for sports and particularly cricket fans.

The trip was was excellent. Packed in so much for one day. The company Anderson’s where brilliant and our driver/courier was first class gave us so much information about what we were going to see, you couldn’t have seen places on your own. Highly recommended would advise anyone to book this trip, money well spent.

We had a very good time, the whole trip was very well organised and fun. Noor was very entertaining, professional and funny. Thank you.

Excellent itinerary with time to visit each site and commentary by our tour guide. Nice lunch stop and ample free time.
