Getting off a ship, but not having a flight until 9:30pm had me looking for a day tour of the Sydney area with a drop off at the airport that evening. Mike was the perfect choice, he truly enjoys showing people the Sydney area and his local favorite spots. We saw so many different neighborhoods, walked through National parks, went to 3 or 4 beaches, and had a great lunch at a bayside restaurant. We were able to go many places a large tour bus would not have been able to navigate. The day truly was special, thank you Mike!!! Gail, Dave, and Shannon
The day after booking the tour, Mike reached out and let us know exactly where and what time he would me our group. Most places wait until the day before the tour, yet this was all confirmed and we already received details weeks before. When we arrived after 25 hours of travel, we were exhausted. We felt getting picked up from the airport and doing the tour would be the best way to transition to the next time zone. Mike was very engaging & funny, as he told us the history of each place we visited, as well as information in general as we drove by attractions or in neighborhoods. We were able to stop at so many locations and took some great pictures. There is absolutely no way we could have covered as much of the city without Mike. This was by far our favorite part of our visit, and we couldn't have asked for more. 10/10 recommend!
What a fabulous personal tour we had of Sydney City, the harbour and the beaches around Sydney. Mike picked us up directly from the airport and we started the tour right away. He dropped us at our airbnb - thus we never had need for an uber :) We saw so much in a short amount of time and got some amazing pictures. I would highly recommend!
Max did a fantastic job of taking us all around Sydney for our one day there! He picked us up at the airport and shuttled us all over in Avery organized way, with short walks to see special things. Really worth the money. Dropped us at the hotel after! perfect!
Rocky is a very personable individual who made the tour a pleasure - met all our expectations - happy to recommend
Mike was the consummate tour guide. He picked us up at the airport and showed us around Sydney in a comfortable van. He was very professional and warm and showed us a lot of wonderful sites and shared great stories. We were all a little tired from our long flight, but he kept us engaged throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend a tour with Mike for a great intro to Sydney.
We went on the Central Coast and Glenworth Valley with Go Beyond Tours. Mike is good with correspondence before the tour and will change the tour according to your wants or needs. We especially enjoyed the horseback riding and the fact that we were able to be dropped off at the airport for an evening flight.
Very Disapointing. From reading all the reviews and viewing the photos of others I feel like we were in a different city than others. We were looking for a city tour and wanted to take the climb up at the Pylons of the bridge, as this was our only day in Sydney. Our guide was James, and calling him a guide is a bit overrated. We arreived at the airport and had all instructions to meet Michael at the Mc Donalds, We were at the McDonalds on time and even early. We received a note from James stating he was our guide and we were to meet him in pick up area of yellow express. We inquired to where that was and waited there, no James. We inquired again and told we are in the correct spot, again no James. We communicated to him where we were even giving a lot number, no James. He would tell us where he was at the airport and keep telling us to be in express but we were according to more than one airport employee. Then prior to meeting us and stating wher we should be he now tells us he is 20 minutes away, to go grab a coffee. I guess this was suppose to be the morning tea mentioned in the tour, as there was no stop for that either. Tests went back and fourth about where we were and finding us, he literally had no idea about this airport in his home city and where I am sure he had picked up people prior. After about 45 minutes he found us. His reason for not meeting us at McDonalds was he blamed Michael stating he keeps forgeting he has a van not a bus, so he has no where to park. My thought was Michael must too have a van as he does private tours, additonally park in short term parking and pay the fee to meet us, as we are the customer and paid well for this tour. The " tour" now began, I firmly belive he made this tour up on the fly. First no water, which was he had to remove his fridge to make room for our luggage. Then we went to some look out spots for views of the bridge and opera house and if we asked a question we received an answer but no addiaonal information along the way. We were mostly driven to some lookout points and told this is a good neighboorhood this one not so much. Just prior to lunch we were asked what time we made our pylon climb for, I stated I did not know what time was scheduled as I did not make arrangements with Michael, I just know we were going there and had to pay on our own. He had to call to verify this with I am sure Michael. We went to lunch, at a nice place I belive it to be the U.S, version of a VFW hall with a view of Bondi Beach, we did not see areas that others are posting of Bondi with the swimming pool etc. We then drove from beach to beach to beach, each time all we heard was, here is another place people surf and got back in the van. If there were walking trails etc, we did not know about them or told we had time to do them. At one stop, James even got back in the car and it was a local, who told us to go up the street where the whales were breaching. We also did a stop at Luna Park, it was not on the tour, but we though the entrance looked cool, so we walked around there for 10 minutes. Then our time to go the the pylons and museum. Again for a local tour guide I would expect more, he could not find it, so stopped at a hotel to ask directions. Once we found the street, he dropped us off where one does the brifge climb, not the museum and pulons, so we had to walk doewn the street until we found the correct entrance, James followed in a van. We did the museum and clim, came back to the van to find James asleep in it. That concluded our day, as stated in title disappointing. James is no tour guide, he is a DJ from what he tells us , but his knowledge is mostly his opinion. Nothing learned in Sydney, and James does nothing for Sydney or for the company.
Michael took our group from Richmond, Virginia on a terrific full day tour of the Sydney area. We were taken to six different areas of this great metropolis. His commentary was very informative and the views of the city & harbor were amazing! Go Beyond Tours offered first class, highly personalized service.
Miichael was an excellent guide. Very friendly, courteous and took us to the best sites in and around Sydney. Highly recommend this tour company!!!!
Mike was a pleasure to be with. Took us to all the hot spots. The lunch at Bondi was fantastic. The start time and end time where just perfect.
Mike was the best driver/ tour guide. Very knowledgeable and brought us to the best locations and views.
We had a great trip with James. He showed us all around and Bondi Beach was beautiful. Definitely recommend.
Our group of 8 enjoyed a lovely tour of the city. We were picked up at the airport upon arrival in Sydney and enjoyed seeing the city highlights. We had a delicious lunch as well. Mike was an excellent guide and this was a great way to start our visit. I do suggest keeping water for guest as it was a warm day and this was mentioned as an inclusion. Otherwise great tour— recommend
What a great experience! Definitely, the best way to get familiar with Sydney, especially after an overnight flight. Mike was flexible with our arrival time, as our flight was late. Picked us up. Showed us around. Easy to communicate with. We covered a lot of land and had a nice lunch with a great view - even in the rain. Highly recommend this tour! We saw many parts of Sydney we'd never find on our own.
Michael knows all the secret spots in Sydney! My husband and I really enjoyed learning about Sydney’s history and the Aussie culture on this private tour. Michael drove us to places in the city that we didn’t know existed and we were able to get great pictures of the Harbour with the Opera House and Bridge. Michael even brought coffee, tea, and Tim Tams, as it was a bit rainy and windy that day. We ended our tour with Michael dropping us off at Coogee Beach, where we did the ocean walk to Bondi (which took a little less than 2 hours). From there, we took one bus back to downtown Sydney, which took about 40 minutes. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Michael is so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
It was a really hot day to be fair. But I was disappointed that my tour operator was changed three times. So we didn’t expect much. He was a really nice guy but more of a driver vs tour guide. Our group of 6 had a hard time understanding him. We did see a lot.
The views of the city. We went to several locations in Sydney to see the view but after 3-4 stops to see the view, that was plenty. Way too many view stops and not enough background knowledge of the city. He only answered our questions but rarely did he provide commentary as we were touring around. Nice guy but not tour worth the price point.
We had the absolute best time! Our guide Marc was wonderful. He catered the tour around us and our needs and showed us places in the city we didn't know existed.
We cant fault this private tour in fact if you could give 6 stars we would have done. Mike was a great guide, knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We had a fantastic day with superb weather. The tour gave us a Sydneysiders look into the city and all its amazing sights. Mike chose the most fantastic venue for lunch. Have done a tour of the city on a previous visit but this surpassed it by a mile thanks to Mike. If you’re coming to Sydney book a tour with Go Beyond Tours……100% recommended
James was amazing and we enjoyed touring Sydney with him. He has a wealth of knowledge and we got to see parts of Sydney that we would not be able to see on our own. I would recommend James and Go Beyond Tours for you next visit to Australia! Thank you again James for the wonderful tour!
Awesome tour. I highly highly recommend. We got to see so much of Sydney and really learn about the city. I'm so happy my son and I got to experience this tour and see a lot of Sydney highlights!
What a fun day! Mike was a fantastic tour guide. He picked us up bright and early from our hotel, provided some morning snacks, and then we were off. Mike was very friendly, knowledgeable, and interested in us. After hitting a number of sites on the itinerary, he had gotten to know us well enough to add a stop or two due to our individual interests. We only had two days in Sydney and this was the perfect start to a quick stay. Thanks, Mike!
This tour was an absolutely amazing experience for both me and my mother. Our guide was Mike and thanks to him we got the unforgettable sense of this magnificent Sydney. He also shared very interesting historical facts about all points that we visited. We are from Vancouver, beautiful British Columbia, and I've always thought that it's impossible to impress somebody from this part of the world, but this tour proved that I am wrong. Thanks to Mike's professionalism and experience, we were able to see this city from different geographic perspectives. We visited the most prominent points with breathtaking views, amazing neighborhoods and areas, which would not be reachable otherwise. Thanks again to Mike and Viator for this wonderful time. I strongly recommend this tour to anybody who are lucky to come to this spectacular city.
We liked tremendously the city tour in the city of Sydney and surroundings. Mike our guide was very friendly and took us to visit the main attractions of Sydney and the Bondi beach explaining everything in detail. We loved this wonderful experience.
