    A wonderful opportunity to see the city of Sydney from a great guide.

    Our guide, Tim, was fabulous. Not only did he give us a great tour of the city, he stayed in contact with us throughout the rest of our stay in Sydney offering advice on things to see and do and where to eat. We got a very good overview of the city and, later in our stay, we were able to observe the spots he showed us during our walk on the Sydney Bridge and later from the top of the Sydney Tower, which made the tour come to life.

    Amazing tour in Sydney

    We had a great tour in Sydney with a lot of useful information and wunderful impressions. The private tour on foot took 4 hours. Our guide picked us up directly from the hotel. When we will return some day to Sydney we would like to do this tour again

    Needs better grasp of area

    The guide was very nice but did not know much about the areas we were walking through. She seemed to have a guide sense of direction but was not knowledgeable of many of the landmarks or history. I would recommend additional training for her.

    Response from the operator: Hello Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're glad to hear that the guide was friendly, we’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. Guydeez is about creating happy memories and because of this, we have already contacted you via your email directly. Once again our apologies for this inconvenience and we hope you give us a second chance. Best regards, The Guydeez Team

    Useful overview of Sydney

    Gee Meng was very professional and generous in sharing his knowledge of Sydney's history, arts and culture with us. The tour provided a useful overview of Sydney and what it is like to live in this vibrant and multicultural city. Would recommend.

    Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.

    How much does Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.

    Is Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sydney Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sydney?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sydney?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sydney?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
