Great walk tour of the rocks

Really enjoyed the tour today, surprised how many hidden gems there are around the rocks and circular quay. Was great to learn the history of the area too. Definitely recommend to family and friends

Enjoyable experience on the walking tour!

I had a wonderful experience on the walking tour of the rocks. I found my guide Antonio to be very informative and very enthusiastic. All the stops and locations were incredibly interesting and with the inclusion of food and drinks was wonderful value for money! Would highly recommend to tourists and locals. Can’t wait till my next one!

If you want a good over view of Sydney…

If you want a good over view of Sydney or have limited time, this tour takes you quickly around Sydney Harbor in half a day. It is an excellent introduction allowing you to then go back and explore more in depth. However, if you were going to be spending a few days exploring Sydney, I think I would look for a more in depth tour of specific sections. This tour company has other options if you have more time. They do a good job. For example, Manly, Bondi and Cogee beaches deserve a day unto their own. The tour guide was excellent, courteous and informative and since we had more time to spend in Sydney, I was anxious to go back and explore the areas were drove by.

The tour guide was very well informed on her subject matter and brought visual aids which made her discussion of various topics more interesting and relatable. She answered all questions knowledgably and thoroughly.

Sydney south coast and southern highlands tour

Despite very difficult conditions due to the NSW bushfires with closed roads ect. our guide and driver Jon had done the homework and could still take us to many areas on South Coast and Highlands, very informative and friendly, we got exactly what we wanted from the tour. Even saw some Lyre Birds and wild Wombats to finish. Would highly recommend. Thanks.

Best way to get a grasp of the food scene in Sydney - do this tour early in your trip!

My husband and I had the best time on this 6 hour tour that stopped in 4 different sections of town. It is a long eating day for sure! Our favorite stop was the first - the Turkish restaurant in the Barangaroo district. You also get wine tasting, gin tasting and a variety of foods. We also visited the Tramsheds, The Cannery and Spice Alley in Chippendale. Our guides - Evan and Helder had great personalities and were very knowledgeable about the food and Sydney history and sites. Would absolutely recommend this tour!

Great value for money and highly recommended!

My wife's Swiss Mum and Sister really enjoyed 'The Story Of Sydney'. They found the tour facinating, the guide friendly and engaging and they saw and learnt far more than we could have shown them. Great value for money and highly recommended for anyone with friends or family from overseas!

“Calling it what it is”

Late start. The guide kept saying the aboriginal culture “collapsed.” What bull!! They were murdered and driven out by the British who had guns and hated everyone who did not look like them. Let’s be honest here. That part erked me. You need to be honest. In 2020, people are more enlightened and knowledgeable about world affairs and history.

The drive around the city and beaches were very nice.

Hi Lesley, thank you for your review. Yes, 31Dec19 was a huge day for US leading up to our fantastic New Years Eve celebration.
I believe you may have taken the word 'collapsed' out of context. All tour guides at Ultimately Sydney are strong supporters of Aboriginal Australia and believe it to be our country's true identity. There is definitely no 'collapse'. Watch this space, you will be delighted.

Helen
