Thank you Patrice such a nice review. It was my pleasure to take your three generational family to see the sights of Sydney. I hope you all had a wonderful time in Oz and NZ. All the best, Simon.
Simon was class! Girls thought he was really funny and told them a lot of amazing facts about Sydney and its history. He was so accommodating and personalised our tour. We had a fantastic day. Great restaurant recommendations and breakfast on Bondi Beach and cocktails in Manly were an absolute highlight!!! Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Great way to see the city if you’re tight for time or just to get your bearings. BRILLIANT
Thank Melanie for such a great review. As my first ever group from Northern Ireland, it was my pleasure to take you, Colin and the girls to see the sights of Sydney. I hope you have an awesome time in Uluru, Cairns and Brisbane, regards Simon
One of the best private tours we have ever experienced. Simone had a wealth of knowledge and was willing to answer all our questions. The van was in superb condition.
Hi Kim, thank you for such a great review. I'm glad Stacy and yourself enjoyed the tour and I hope you both had an excellent holiday in Sydney, cheers Simon
Simon picked us up on time and adjusted tour time because our flight came in late. He took us to get a quick bite to eat. He was so accommodating. We really appreciated his knowledge of Sydney. We had a great time and thank him for showing us Sydney.
Hello Nancy, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. It was a pleasure to show you the sights of Sydney, regards Simon
Simon paced our time perfectly to cover major highlights, history and natural beauty. We were two families with children, teens and adults. Simon presented Sydney in a fun way with stories, photo spots and yummy Australian treats at the beach. His van was clean, spacious and comfortable for our group of 10. And we appreciated him giving us info and then flexibility to explore for a bit on our own and picking us up in a convenient spot. We all highly recommend any tour with Simon!
Thanks so much for such a kind review. It was a pleasure to show your group around Sydney, regards Simon
We just returned from a wonderful tour with Simon . We highly recommend it and him ! His knowledge of the City and history was excellent and our group of four were very satisfied. He even had coffee and Australian pastries for us on a beautiful beach setting. You can’t go wrong in booking this or any tour he may offer .
Hello Barry & Susan, thank you for such a great review. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the sights of Sydney and I hope you have an excellent cruise over in NZ, cheers Simon.
Having a private tour was THE BEST way for our small group to see the sights around Sydney! We were able to customize our tour in an affordable trip with Sydney Scenic Private Tours. My family and I had a wonderful half day tour with our tour guide Simon. We felt very comfortable with him, his driving, and his care for each of us in our group. He was very knowledgeable about the history of each location we went to, and he even taught us about the Aussie snacks he brought for us to enjoy! Would definitely recommend this service to anyone visiting Sydney for the first time! Thanks for taking care of us Simon!
Hi Lorilee, thank you for such a glowing review. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the tour which also hopefully gave you some good ideas for the rest of your time in Sydney. It was a joy meeting you and your wonderful, vibrant young family. All the best, Simon.
Simon's tour was all around fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the city as well as the history of the land. He was accommodating to our two children (6 and 7) and even brought juice boxes and water for the trip as well as picked us up all the way in Bondi right on time. We got a lot done in our 4 hours and didnt feel rushed. I am thoroughly satisfied with the tour and would highly reccomend it!! He also takes great pictures and knows all the good spots!!

My family and I, had just finished the Sydney City tour with tour guide, Simon. It was a great and fun experience, as well as very informative. Simon, our tour guide and driver,was very flexible with our schedule, he was also very accommodating, made us all feel comfortable during the whole tour, and taught us alot about the history of each and every place that we went to. He even prepared an Aussie style picnic at Bondi Beach.. with delicious Aussie delicacies! We all felt happy, safe, and thankful that we booked this tour. To Simon, you are the best tour guide mate! Cheers! We will definitely book again soon! Cheers! Vincent Zabella and Family
