“Nice highlights from Hyde Park to The Rocks”
Very interesting tour with lots of historical comments walking around many points of interest that usually skip the regular tourist eyes.
Not recommended for slow walking people as we move a lot and pretty fast. At the end, there is a lot to see in very short time.

“Tour Sydney”
Our guide was funny and she pointed out all the places we should visit. Most of them are free.
After the tour I walked the same route back to the starting point and visited some of the places she had pointed out.
Museum of Sydney was my favorite.
It’s hard to put a price on a good tour(guide). What’s a fair rate? I would have preferred to pay a rate in advance.
Having said that, recommendable tour.

“Great introduction to Sydney”
We were so lucky with how great our tour guide was. This walking tour was a great introduction, gaining information on the history and culture as
well as exciting things to do around the city. Id recommend this for anybody who has just arrived to Sydney.

“Average”
Pace of walk was OK (though I tired a bit!) and scrupulously careful on street crossings, etc.. Found difficult to follow some of the explanations and humour wasn't as engaging as other free tours we've done. The 'find the birds' bit was more worthy of a junior school trip. Odd interesting historical snippets were worthwhile and gallery/trip suggestions useful., but we felt a solo wander or NSW gallery visit prob a better use of our limited time in Sydney (2 days). Sorry!

“Excellent intro to Sydney”
Lily was excellent. She delivered interesting information with a lovely sense of humour. As a Tasmanian I learnt quite a bit of information. Her pace was very good and level of detail spot on. She was extremely clear with her calls on street crossings which made it safe. She was easy to understand. All in all very professional. Many thanks.
