Great experience, telling history of the time and examples of the different class rooms. Could provide people with a boarding card for them to see if survived or died.

This was a great tour round night time Sydney, seeing iconic sights like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House lit up at night was special. The tour guide was very good and, despite a couple of glitches with the mic and headphones, it was all presented very well.

The cruise was lovely and the views of the Sydney harbour area were breathtaking. Guide Ron gave a great overview of the surrounding area, given the time limitations. I would recommend the cruise to anyone.

The fifth time of watching a Cirque de Soleil performance. It was brilliant as ever and I can't wait to attend again somewhere in the world. PS - attended in USA, Uk and Australia previously.

I was effortlessly able to experience the Blue Mountains during my vacation in Sydney. Matt was an excellent guide, and it was great to be with a group of people (since I was traveling solo). The ferry ride back was fun too: it was a great way to avoid traffic.

Ben is very friendly and a great communicator. We had an awesome time in the Blue Mountains visiting places normally reserved for post-cards! Great weather, group, lunch and experience. Thanks : )

Our host Johanna was amazing and very professional. She made sure my family had a good time, offered to take pictures and made our experience enjoyable. When and if an opportunity presents itself, I'd visit again.
