        Wonderful tours with Ben Barry
        Just spent 3 amazing days with Ben. We toured Sydney and the Bondi Beach area the first day, then headed to the Blue mountains on the second, finishing with the reptile park and central coast on the last day. Ben was a joy to tour with. We saw far more than we could have ever covered on our own. It was the perfect way to see Sydney and the surrounding area in a short time! Highly recommend!

        Best Private Blue Mountain Tour
        We began our Australian Adventure with this tour. Myself, my husband, his high school friend and wife. We were in Sydney for a cruise. Ben picked us up at our hotel in a clean, spacious and comfortable vehicle. We started our day at the Sydney Zoo. We fed kangaroos and took pics with a koala. Saw many species of birds, reptiles and animals. We then made our way to the Blue Mountains. Ben took us to see the 3 Sisters and to many majestic lookouts. He knew all the best pics to take. Ben answered all our questions about Australia. He is extremely knowledgeable and sooo down to earth. He also knew all about the flora and fauna we encountered. We had lunch at a restaurant that was once a church and it was lovely. We opted to take the ferry back to Sydney. Ben advised it was a great opportunity to see Sydney from the waterway and we enjoyed every moment. Ben is an expert! This tour is the best way to begin or end your stay in Sydney. My husband and I have done private tours in many countries and this one was spectacular! I am a New Yorker and not easily impressed but Ben exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ben!

        Beautiful Australia, wilderness, Waterfalls and Blue Mountains
        We recently returned from a 33 day trip down under. On day three of our trip, we toured with Ben from personalized Sydney tours, seeing waterfalls wilderness and blue Mountains. Ben did not disappoint! Ben ensured that we saw everything we were hoping for and more! He picked us up at our hotel and the journey began. From coffee and washroom breaks, two kangaroos and koalas to breathtaking sites of the blue Mountains., to an amazing hike to the waterfalls and a terrific lunch spot, he insured all of our needs were met. Ben is very personable, accommodating, professional, and fun! Do not hesitate to book this tour with him, you won’t be disappointed. A definite 5 star experience.

        Brilliant snippet of Sydney with an excellent tour guide!
        Where do we start?! This tour was absolutely fantastic! Ben picked us up and was immediately engaging with our crazy family and was so informative during the tour. He took us to some brilliant places; one of our favourites was the reptile zoo, however we also enjoyed the chocolate factory, areas of nature and watching the pelicans! Ben really knows his stuff, his car is comfy and the tour was one of the highlights of our holiday. We highly recommend!

        Great First Day in Australia
        Great day with Ben exploring Australia. We loved the Koala encounter and scenic mini hikes to lookout points. Lunch at a local spot was delicious.

        Personalized Sydney Tour Was Really Personal!
        Our afternoon tour with Ben was perfect! We had only one day in Sydney, and thanks to Ben, we came away feeling like we had seen all the highlights and a little more! The tour was not rushed; we had time to take pictures, hang out at the Opera House, walk on Bondi Beach, and learn some Sydney history. Ben was warm and welcoming, and I highly recommend this tour.

        Breathtaking Blue Mountains - don’t miss this trip!
        Majestic Blue Mountains and our final trip with Ben. The scenery is breathtaking . Ben took us to all the ‘usual’ lookouts such as Echo Point but many more where we were the only people there ( Boars Head, Therabulat). Wentworth falls was amazing though Ben seemed to manage the steep steps down and back much better than us! And lots of cockatoos there. We learnt lots from Ben about the nature and how the bush fires impacted the area. Great lunch at the Freudian Sip in Leura. All in all a fabulous trip. We would definitely recommend any private tour with Ben. Thank you

        The best beaches!!
        What a trip visiting all the Northern beaches. We started by driving over the Sydney Harbour bridge ! So many beaches and Ben was so accommodating when we asked if we could include Newport beach so I could relive childhood memories of ‘Blue Water High’. Particular favourites were Manly to Shelley walk, Palm beach and the walk to Barrenjoey lighthouse with amazing views of Palm Beach and Pittwater Lake. Ben is very knowledgeable and knows all the hidden spots such as the Bible Garden. Fabulous day !!

        Great tour and guide
        I have taken a tour with Ben the last two times I’ve visited Sydney on business and wanted to see as much as I could in the limited time I had available. I highly recommend! Super knowledgeable and will personalise the tour to what you want to see and make recommendations. Nice guy who as a single female travelling alone I was very happy to spend the day with!

        Perfect Private Tour
        Ben was a fantastic guide! Very punctual and took care of everything. The views were amazing and it is clear that Ben has a lot of knowledge of the area. Wouldn’t have wanted to see the Blue Mountains any other way! Highly recommend.

      We had 3 days in Sydney before leaving on a cruise around NZ. We were lucky enough to book Ben Barry for 3 full-day tours. Being our first visit to Australia, we feel like we got a really good glimpse of Sydney and surrounding areas. Ben was a great host - very flexible, informative while keeping things interesting and we can 100% recommend him. We hope to visit much more of Australia in the future. Thanks Ben, for making our short stay in Sydney a great one!!

His passion for the region, coupled with his expertise as a guide, ensured that every moment was filled with discovery and adventure. For anyone seeking to explore the natural wonders of the South Coast, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this journey with Ben as your guide.

      This was our first day trip with Ben. We saw so MUCH from driving over the sea cliff bridge to then exploring all sorts of sceneries from rainforests to countryside to beaches to rock formations to bombo headland to Kiama’s blowholes (the list goes on). We were extremely lucky to see all kinds of wildlife like dolphins, eastern grey kangaroos, lyrebirds and a seal. Ben was very friendly and welcoming. We left the trip so excited for the next one!

      This was a wonderful tour. Ben took us to stop after stop to show us all of the highlights of the south coast. We also stopped for wine tasting and a delicious lunch at a seaside cafe. Ben was very informative, and answered a myriad of questions for us about everything Australia. He was also very attentive to our needs and limitations. We had a ball!

      Hi Renee and Gary, The South Coast is such a beautiful area and I'm so glad that you enjoyed yourselves. I love this area and the fact that you can mix coastal areas, with country, rainforest and wineries. Hope to see you both in Sydney again. Regards, Ben
