I recommend this walk to anyone visiting Sydney, and to locals as well! The Sydney Sights tour covers a lot of ground, and yet you realize just how walkable the city is.

LeiLei was our tour guide (not sure I spelled her name right) and she was wonderful!

An awesome experience of Sydney! You can either take the bus tour, which is $18 to cover the cost…read moreof the bus, or the walking tour which is free. At the end of both, you can choose to contribute any amount you like to your guide. This is the only money they make so you should definitely give some because they've worked hard! You meet at the Archibald fountain by 10:30 a.m. to get a spot and then go from there. Martin was my guide on the bus tour and he was informative and funny! I got to see so much of Sydney on the tour and also took some great photos. Don't think that you won't be tired if you do the bus tour cause you'll be hopping on and off a few times which will be tiring (but rewarding). I'd say this is a must do when visiting Sydney!

Want to achieve the 'Triple D' satisfaction level? Well, if you have a great liking for 'sweet…read moretooth' and would like to excite those taste buds to a new level... then Cupcake and Dessert Tour will meet your expectations, even for the fussiest ones. This tour involves a lot of walking, about three hours, not strenuous though but appropriate, comfortable shoes will help you enjoy this tour even more. Your meeting and starting point is at Hyde Park where your tour guide will handout 'Foodi' tags to place around your necks so you are easily identifiable as the 'Foodi' group where you can start to enjoy the prepaid sweets along your journey. But before you start the tour, check out the weather first. The tour will go ahead regardless of the weather, so if it's a sunny day, then bring along a hat, sunnies and sunscreen. Rainy? Umbrellas or raincoats of course! Also a bottle of water that has a double purpose, to stay hydrated and cleanse the palate between tastings. You will visit seven top venues in Sydney with samples at each venue. Your first indulgence is a mini cupcake, I wasn't impressed with the size at first but was reassured by our tour guide that by the time we get to the last venue, we will be overdosed with sweets. She was right, although we had walking breaks in between venues, we did struggle to eat our last treat... but we managed, couldn't resist the temptation! The cost covers a treat at each venue, guided by your tour guide with a wealth of knowledgeable information and history about the venues and their sweets plus an added bonus of some of Sydney's monuments history while walking by heading to the next 'sweet sensational' venue. Fair price... right? Unfortunately, I am unable to share the venues you will visit, I don't think Foodi would appreciate me sharing that information with you. However, I can reassure you the places that you will visit are awesome and enough to make your mouths drool. I do want to add this, bring along a small cake box, in case you cannot fit the sweets during your tour so you can enjoy them later that day/evening or the following day? I wish I had known that. I'm guessing you would like to know what the 'Triple D' stands for? It's Delicious, Delectable and Delightful.

Gregg is one amazing tour guide…read more You look for someone wearing red outside Customs House at either 10:30am or 2:30pm for an awesome three-hour guided tour of the city. Some history quirks are mentioned. For instance: why was the Sydney Opera House built over budget? Was the building of the Sydney Opera House Sydney's response to compete with Melbourne? An awesome city unfolds. See some amazing street art, and well as learn about an interesting tree at The Royal Botanical Gardens. Who knows you might get to touch the lucky pig. Discover the best parts of Macquarie Street, Hyde Park, Martin Place, The Ivy, Circular Quay and The Rocks. Gregg really knows his stuff. A walking encyclopaedia. Peek Tours has been around for about three years, and Gregg conducted such tours in Europe prior. All you need to do is turn up at your allocated time. Unless you wish to walk in a group of 10 or more people, bookings need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. Peek Tours also conducts a Party Tour and a Rocks Pub Walk. Had an awesome time. Check out the amazing group photos on their Facebook page. Although the tour is free upfront, tips are advised - pay for what you feel the experience was worth to you at the end. Priceless.

Upon arriving, Greg greeted me with a brief description of the beers at the first pub as well as an intro on the history of the Rocks areas. Each pub on the tour had a unique history and experience.

Greg answered all of my questions about the Rocks area as well as gave me helpful tips on how to have a "Barbie on the beach" on my walk from Coogee to Bondi tomorrow. Really great tour from an extremely knowledgeable local! Highly recommend!

Before I even flew out to Australia, Peter reached out to ask what I was particularly interested in, so he could design an itinerary that would align with my preferences. I spent two days with Peter.

Even for the days when I was not touring with Peter, he provided recommendations for things to see and do, and most importantly, to eat! I have already started to plan my next trip to Sydney, and those plans include 3 private tours with Peter!

We wanted…read moreto get away from the mainstream grind of touristy destinations & coach trips and our host Marie definitely delivered. Having a local person's 'insider' perspective gave us the opportunity to see and visit many places that are easily overlooked by most Sydney-siders I'm sure. We loved the hidden coffee and cake shops in The Strand Arcade and The Art Gallery of NSW is just a wonderful structure, not to mention the artwork. Winding up at Grasshopper was a wonderful and quirky surprise and it's never where you'd find it. Ironic that it's on "Temperance Lane" . 3 hours (the minimum tour time) is the perfect amount of time to achieve all we wanted to see and to give us a taste of places we may wish to go back and visit again. Some of the highlights worth noting are: Gaffa Gallery in Clarence St - It's run by the artists and a cool place to view and buy art Kinokuniya - Japanese bookshop in Galleries Victoria - to see the fantastic range of art books & literature Gowings Bar in the new QT hotel - apparently they've done an amazing reno and there is a really cool bar/brasserie Strand Arcade - beautiful cake shops & if you like jewellery shopping then this is the place. The history of the building is quite fascinating too! Chinatown - great Coconut Buns. Highly recommended for anybody (travellers and locals) who wants to explore or re-explore Sydney. Thank you again for such a wonderful day, The Sydney Connection is definitely the hidden gem of this town!
