This is my fourth Ultimately Sydney…

This is my fourth Ultimately Sydney tour so obviously I am a fan, but the Taste of Sydney tour is particularly good. We had a relaxing food and drink tour winding our way through a couple of Sydney's newest food precincts including Barangaroo, the Tramshed, the Cannery and Spice Lane. Our tour guide Antonio was fabulous. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Funnily enough, we had been huge fans of his Panache restaurant years ago so it was an extra treat to meet him again. The last venue was Handpicked Wines. It has a lovely atmosphere and expert sommeliers to aid in a taste test. We would definitely do this one again and are looking forward to going back to some of the restaurants we were introduced to.

A perfect day out!

We had an amazing day today, playing tourist in our own city. Our guide Antonio was very friendly and knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to spend the day in his company. As a group of 5 Sydney-siders we enjoyed getting to explore new areas, tasting some fabulous food and drinks! It was a fabulous way to catch up!

Antonio’s deserves 5 stars!

My friend and I spent a stormy Thursday afternoon seeing Sydney’s neighborhoods and And harbors and hearing about its rich history with our driver and guide - Antonio. He’s an excellent driver and kept us entertained for 4 hours. Delightful and educational...I would highly recommend this tour and Antonio!

Excellent Rags to Riches culinary tour

We went on the Rags to Riches culinary tour with Antonio as our guide. It was a fabulous afternoon, informative but relaxed. A delicious assortment of food and drinks. Antonio is passionate and took us to parts of the Rocks that you wouldn’t know existed.

WOW A great tour

Our tour guide, John, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared Sydney's history from the earliest days to current. We learned a lot about Sydney and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
John was able to answer every question we threw his way.
What a beautiful city!

Our tour of Sydney was amazing

Our tour of Sydney was amazing. Not only did we learn about the history of this city, but we we touched on every significant destination Sydney has to offer. Our tour guide, Antonio, was fantastic and was so informed, witty, and accommodating. He give us strategies and tips to navigate a city we knew nothing about. I would gave him six stars if I could. He was that good.

Wonderful time for locals and visitors alike!

We are Sydney locals, and really enjoyed our afternoon visiting so many delicious spots around Sydney. The food and drinks were devine, and Antonio was a wonderful guide.
I would highly recommend for both international and interstate visitors, and for Sydney locals alike. Also a great gift idea for those hard to buy for friends and family. And would be a great idea for a girls day out!
Thank you for a wonderful day with my friends!

A perfect introductory tour of Sydney

This was a perfect introductory tour of Sydney. Just the right amount of time. The major stops. With the right amount devoted to history, culture, urban landscape, architecture, etc. Good time allowed for pics, too.

Bettina did a fine job, and we were very appreciative that she brought back to our hotel the umbrella we left in the van.

Overview of Sydney

It was a great way to get a overview of the city. Preferred this tour vs a Hop on Hop off bus. We took the tour on the first day in Sydney after a long flight. Didn’t want anything too active but also didn’t want to waste the day. This was perfect.

Antonio Goncalves is the best!

Antonio,

Thanks again for showing us a wonderful part of Sydney. Janie and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with you. Our lunch at Silks Brasserie was excellent.

While we saw a Cassowary when with you at the Featherdale Wild Life Park, we also saw one in the wild at the Daintree Rain Forest.

Best Regards,

Jon & Jon Pollock

One of the best parts of visiting…

One of the best parts of visiting Sydney was getting to see outside of the city; having a knowledgeable guide was huge on us having such a great time...I highly advise doing this tour and using this company because they were great.
