Private tour of Sydney - with a personal touch

Published on Feb, 2025

Fazli took into consideration our physical limitations as well as the unpredictable weather in Sydney to provide us with an informative and enjoyable tour. He laced it with historical facts, cultural information, and was a joy all around. We were able to get some great shots throughout the tour (even when the rain was coming down) and he knew just where to get the best mirror-image shot of the Opera House. If you're looking for a private tour with a personal touch, I highly recommend Fazli.

Fantastic tour with 6 star guide

Published on Feb, 2025

Fazli , our guide was wonderful, He arrived right on time, was very knowledgeable about the area and worked very hard to ensure we had a good time. His dedication to his customers was evident as he went through extra mile numerous time to insure our comfort and enjoyment. I’d give him 6 stars if I could. We will be calling on him again.

Excellent tour of the area around Sydney harbour

Published on Feb, 2025

Fazli, our guide was a wealth of information and worked to lessen the walking we had to do. It was an excellent tour of the area around Sydney harbour

A Fabulous Introduction to Sydney

Published on Feb, 2025

Fazli was a terrific tour guide who shared a lot of Sydney’s history and reasons for it being founded. He’s very engaging, and was really a wonderful host for our introduction to Sydney, a truly world-class city!

A Great Tour of Sydney!

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour was a great introduction to Sydney. It was long enough to see a number of iconic sites, but not so long as to tire us out. Our driver and guide was friendly, provided good commentary, and took photos of my spouse and I at many of the sites. We had the opportunity to walk a street market for thirty minutes and walk across the Harbour Bridge. Both were very enjoyable. We were picked-up at the cruise terminal and dropped-off at our destination hotel. This was very convenient. We highly recommend this tour!
