Two private tours with animated Suanne, priceless. Although a bit more money than a group tour our enjoyment far exceeded our expectations. Suanne made adjustments to perfectly suit our needs. Specialized tasty treats and medicinal liquids were part of each day's events. Being a native Sydneysider Suanne not only filled-us with informative info regarding Sydney and blending in, but also...

This was with no exception the best tours we have taken. We were able to take in alot with comfort. Suanne is a friendly and warm person that went out of her way for us to see what we wanted. We would not think twice of doing it again. More

My husband and I did 2 yours with Suanne. Both of these were by far the best tour of our whole trip to Australia. We did the Blue Mountains and Sydney. By taking a tour with Suanne, we got to see things that on any other tour we would not have. Everything from going to a pub for a beer... More

As reviewed by several others, this tour is the best of the best in Sydney. Expensive, but well worth the cost. We booked the tour for the same day we arrived from the U.S. in spite of the fact that we knew we would be severely jetlagged. It was the right decision. Eddie (an absolutely fascinating character in his own... More

We contacted Real Sydney Tours via email prior to our trip. Everything was efficiently arranged by email and Eddie, our guide, met us as planned at our hotel. Everything about the day was wonderful including the weather! Eddie was fun and so knowledgeable about Australia in general as well as all of the areas we visited. We had only 3... More

What a great review about our Real Blue Mounatians Tour..thank you. Being a small private tour company we often get requests for couples to share a tour with others. We try our best to make that happen but we can't make any guarantees. Your idea about other people making contact via Cruise Critic is absolutely brilliant...thank you for that wonderful... More

We did a city tour of Sydney with Suanne and I must say that this was one of the best tours we had in all of Australia! It was great to be taken around by Suanne who was very well-informed about the country and the city. She took us to places with beautiful, breathtaking views and I’m sure we would... More

We took a tour with Suanne on our second day in Sydney and were so glad we did. It was like having an enthusiastic, well-informed friend show us around. In addition to providing a great overview of the city, which helped us figure out what to do for the rest of our time there, Suanne took us to out-of-the-way places... More

I can only echo the many, justifiable, rave reviews about “Real Sydney Tours” Our guide for the day was Eddy, who was knowledgeable, attentive and amusing. We spent most of the day trying to guess, multilingual Eddy’s country of origin and failed miserably. There are many nice touches on this bespoke tour which I won’t list, so as not to... More

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. I traveled with my 10 year old daughter and another family with two children (13 girl and 11boy). Every one of us was entertained for the entire day. Suanne was knowledgable and entertaining. She included activities to keep everyone engaged - there was no whining by anyone until... More
