Went on a very nice drive along the coast heading to Bondi from city center. Ben was an extreme knowledgeable guide shared with us so many details about the area from it’s history to where you can get great pictures ;) Ben also reached out early on to ask about our preferences to cater the tour. We couldn't have asked for more .
Pick up was easy and Ben adjusted our time so we could get the most daylight. We got to explore the famous stops and got some history on the way. Ben is friendly and nice to spend the day with, a local family man. The Opera House stop was lovely and it was nice to have a loop and Ben came to get us. We got to see some cool areas on the way to Bondi and then explore the beaches and some gorgeous lookouts. Ben told us lots of fun things to do around Sydney and many of the festivities throughout the year. We also went to some parks and saw tons of wildlife that was really cool. It was such an enjoyable way to get to know Sydney. The van was super clean and comfortable with lots of room. First class all the way.
Ben did an amazing job showing us Sydney. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area including history of the area. He tailored our experience to the things we wanted to see.
I'm a travel advisor and was on a personal vacation in Australia with my 18-year old son when I found Ben's Personalised Sydney Tours available through one of my travel suppliers. I booked the tour online and Ben was very quick to respond with a confirmation and pick-up time/location details. I found him to be prompt and courteous, an excellent driver, patient with all the questions I asked, and was familiar with the history of Sydney. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Ben for my clients who are visiting Sydney--either on a customized itinerary or from a cruise ship. He was excellent to work with. It's rare to find such a professional individual who delivers on all points.
I booked this tour for my parents who were visiting Sydney for the first time (first time in AU actually). Ben was very responsive and curated a lovely itinerary for them. They had a wonderful time and will be taking back some great memories. Thanks Ben!
