5.00Jelle was an excellent guide. He was great at communicating with us prior to our tour. He gave us an insiders look at so many places in Sydney. Our only regret was that we didn't have six more days to visit all of the places he told us about.
A good, scenic driving tour around Sydney.

5.00Our driver was personable, professional knowledgeable, and a local man who knew everything about the area. He gave us clearly spoken, easy to understand information throughout our entire tour. He showed us very interesting parts of the city and we very much enjoyed the trip. Very educational and beautiful. He gave us adequate free time to get out of the van and experience many sites.
Great Tour !!
