Description

Go Beyond Tours' Sydney City Tour includes the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Royal Botanic Gardens, and historic Macquarie Street. No Sydney trip is complete without seeing Bondi Beach, but we take you beyond that and show off Coogee Beach, Watsons Bay, and South Head along the way. Bondi Beach has a style all of its own. The promenade is a favourite walking track and Campbell Parade is a popular grazing ground for Sydney’s cafe society. One of Sydney’s most spectacular drinking and dining spots is located here, Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. A visit to Watsons Bay – Australia’s oldest fishing village – is a must. Enjoy these not to be missed Sydney Tours including many spectacular Sydney Harbour views. The Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk is a highlight. Enjoy the fresh sea air and views of white sand beaches.

Excellent tour.

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.

Excellent day tour of Sydney

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

Operator response

Thank you Gai, Dave and Shannon for your wonderful review. I am delighted your last day in Oz was truly memorable and you enjoyed visiting my favourite Sydney hidden gems :) Mike

Amazing Tour

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!

Operator response

Thank you for this amazing review of your tour of Sydney City, Harbour and Bondi Beach with your Airport Pickup. It was my pleasure to share my beautiful city with you and have a great time chatting with you too :) Mike

Fabulous Sights of Sydey City, Harbour and Beach Tour!

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!

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely words, I am delighted it was such a great experience for you. It was my pleasure showing you the gorgeous spots of Sydney City, Harbour and Bondi Beach :) Mike

Viator with Max as the guide for private tour of Sydney

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!

Operator response

Thank you very much for this amazing review. I am delighted that Max looked after you so well in the unforgettable Sydney City, Harbour and Bondi Beach :) Mike

Great welcome to Sydney

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.

Operator response

Thank you Jason for your fantastic review. It was my pleasure to introduce you all to the beautiful sights of Sydney City, Harbour and Bondi Beach. Mike

Good tour matched to your wants or needs

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.

Operator response

Thank you Brenda for your lovely review of you day in the beautiful Central Coast. I am delighted you had such an amazing experience Horseback riding in the amazing Glen worth Valley. Mike

Disapointing

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.

Operator response

Hi Brenda, I am very sorry to hear that your tour of the Sydney City, Harbour and Bondi Beach tour was not up to your expectations. Unfortunately I was not available to guide you on that day. I am glad you enjoyed your scenic Bondi Lunch venue and the interesting area around Luna Park. I am sorry to hear there was confusion as to the meeting spot at the airport, and I will run through this with him again. Also the Sydney Harbour Bridge Museum is not a regular part of this tour, but I was happy to include it as requested...but parking can be tricky, and you do need to walk up onto and across the bridge to get there. I have now emphasised to your guide that our guests are on their dream holiday to Australia, and often it is their first time in Sydney and expect a certain level knowledge about the region, plus good time management . I will be providing him with some more training on what is expected, but I have also gotten some very good feedback about his tours . Once again I am very sorry that you did not get the guiding that you had hoped for, and we have taken on board these issues and certainly will make some relevant improvements. I hope you come back and visit Sydney again soon :) Mike
