          Great intro to Sydney
          Peter, our driver for a day in Sydney was great. We took advantage of the highlights tour. He provided a good overview of the city, the beaches, and points of interest. We especially liked the opportunity to hike the beach trail at Bondi Beach, and ride the ferry to Manly both where he let us explore on our own and then met us at the end to resume our journey. He shared good information about the city, made restaurant recommendations, and went out of his way to get us to our final destination and help us with our luggage. We appreciated his kindness and his company on our first day on our first visit to Sydney.

          Peter for President
          We are a "family"of 3 adult females from 30 to 70. This is important because Peter made our one Sydney day delightful for all of us! Due to a unavoidable delay, we had a rocky start. Peter handled the situation with aplomb smoothing our ruffled feathers. By the time we left the pick up point, we were laughing; we had a friend in Oz. Our requests for the day: meat pies, good Guiness, and Peter had to fill in the rest. From the Featherton animals to beaches to cityscapes, Peter shared knowledge while making it seem freshly told. If you're looking for Tours for People Who Don't Like Tours, stop the search immediately! Here's the info: 0409-008-767 peter@baileys-sydney.com www.baileys-sydney.com Communication is excellent and Peter himself replies. PS We can't wait to return

          Sydney in a day
          My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour given by Peter. He gave us a day of special sights and key attractions. He also accommodated our special requests and seamlessly incorporated into our tour. His knowledge of Sydney was special and you can tell he loves his hometown. It was a real pleasure to to have his company and we couldn't have packed more into a day on our own.

          Sydney’s Food Gems
          Another seamlessly easy, fabulous food feast with Peter. I do not know how he finds these gustatory treasures, because they’re not on the tourist radar, thankfully. First up was Turkish sweets highlighted with dark and white chocolate, cherries, Nutella and fruits. Then it was back to the city for a wonderfully fresh, authentic Gado Gado (really delicious), followed by a delicate Asian chicken dish in the leafy residential suburbs of Sydney and an aromatic Persian feast featuring smoky, melt-in-your-mouth barbecued meat balanced with rice, vegetables and the most amazingly delicious tangy lemon drink I’ve ever had. All accompanied by Peter’s extensive knowledge of Sydney. He clearly plans your trip to ensure it exceeds your expectations and has thought of everything to make your trip an unforgettable and delicious introduction or continuing journey to the jewels in Sydney’s food crown.

          The food I suspected Sydney has, but didn't know where to look.
          Surprising locations for multicultural foods. Peter knows where it all is, just name which you want to try - or take his pick. Have never had baklava like that before! Nor the delicately smoked chicken. Each dish was new to me. Hard to pick out a favourite, all good. Thoroughly enjoyable and hassle-free day.

          Wonderful and flexible guide
          Peter was a wonderful guide - he was very flexible in adjusting the planned excursions to accommodate the weather (rain and mist) and our interests in both nature and culture. This was our third time in Sydney so we had already done the most obvious sights. On the two day trips we booked with him, Peter went out of his way to guide us through other parts of Sydney and surroundings, and gave us some wonderful tips for the rest of our stay. Through our pleasant conversations we now have a better understanding of life in Sydney and in Australia in general. Looking forward to our next visit and exploring more of Sydney with Peter!

          Very Knowledgeable and Kind
          We had an amazing tour all around Sydney with Peter Bailey. He was very flexible with catering the tour to our needs and was an expert on all of the places we went. He had some secret places for some great pictures of Sydney harbor and the bridge. It was also a pleasure to ride the ferry back from Manly afterwards. Peter was also able to make recommendations for my dietary needs. I would highly recommend Peter Bailey and would definitely try out some of his other tours if I return to Sydney in the future.

          Sydney according to Peter Bailey
          My wife and I had a great day with Peter Bailey. He drove us all over Sydney showing us fabulous views, engaging in very informative conversations and showing us where to walk from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach. He was also great in that we needed to make a couple of stops for errands. We also stopped for a very nice lunch.

          Our family had a perfect day with Peter for our short stay in Sydney. Really couldn’t have asked for anything more for our tour of the beautiful city. Peter was great and easy to get along with, felt like he was just another member of our family. Perfect amount of sight seeing with walks built into the day! Also gave us a great recommendations for what to do the following day! Thanks again! Allen Family

        It was so great to have such a knowledgeable tour guide. We also had Peter give us his ‘private Sydney city tour’. His love for his home was quite obvious. I was worried that we would be spending a lot of time in the car, but that time seem to go quite fast with Peter‘s stories and anecdotes of things that we were passing. We went to a private zoo on our way up to the Blue Mountains, and that was fantastic as they were only Australian indigenous animals.
        On our second day, we saw so much of Sydney I was amazed! Peter had plotted out routes to avoid traffic and we always seem to be moving.
        I would definitely recommend Peter services to visitors to Australia, who I’ve never been there before or our experts who will be amazed at how much Sydney has changed.
        I will definitely be using Peter services next time I am in Sydney.

        Peter Bailey took me on a visit to the Blue Mountains and Bathurst. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, and I found Peter to be excellent company, and most knowledgable about all  the places we visited. These included Katoomba, Lithgow and some beautiful waterfalls. Peter was also very familiar with Bathurst. He was able to point out many details of the history, architecture and background of the places we visited and passed which added to the pleasure of the day.
         
        Peter was very solicitous of my needs, as I use walking aids these days, and drove carefully and responsibly. He was easy to talk to and it was a pleasure to spend time with him. I have no hesitation in recommending his services as a specialist personalised tour guide to Sydney and it’s environs.

        Peter is, quite simply, amazing. He's personable, knowledgeable, and expertly guided us through a busy National Park in such a way that we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. He's made these great booklets of information about Australia and NSW that you can peruse as you drive out of the city and into nature, plus we were free to ask any and all questions we had.

        I would sign up for any tour with Peter. If you're thinking about it, just do it. He clearly loves what he does and where he lives. He gives great advice, can help you plan your other days, and knows what to do and where to go.

        We're so thankful for our day in the Blue Mountains and would go back in an instant if we could. Stunning doesn't do it justice. As a human not known for their hiking skills, know that the walks and stairs were just challenging enough. Do it. On all counts. You won't regret a moment.

        Peter was very helpful answering our queries and also e-mailed us some really useful info for our stay in Sydney. Picked us up on time for our private Blue Mountains Tour in a modern, spacious and comfortable vehicle. He was a great guide throughout; helpful, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Featherstone wildlife park was really good. Also took us to a great local family restaurant for lunch. Food great. Our Blue Mountains tour need to be adjusted around the areas closed to the fires but was very well done. A very memorable day out and can't recommend this company highly enough. Seeing the queues for this on the coach tours I'd recommend you go private if possible

        This was the second of two trips that we booked with Peter and were not disappointed. We are not fans of the big bus tours and this was exactly what we were looking for. The morning we went to the mountains was very foggy and Peter was able to adjust the itinerary so that we did not miss anything. The scenery was spectacular once the weather improved. As noted before, he is very knowledgeable and personable. It was a great day.

        Peter is an amazing tour guide offering a private and relaxed atmosphere for anyone looking to see the Blue Mountains as a family.

        Our family (kids 8 and 10) booked a tour with Peter to have a tour of our own to the Blue Mountains. We originally were scheduled to see the Jenolan caves, but due to the bushfires the caves were closed. He suggested we visit Featherdale and he was right. He knew exactly what we needed and what was best for the kids. We all had a great day and would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a private tour that is very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.

        Our family of five (including teenage boys) enjoyed an incredible day with Peter. The tour was first class from start to finish.

        Through the day, we saw:
        - Featherdale Wildlife Park. What a treat! We were literally the first to enter the park, having the animals to ourselves for some time, thanks to Peter’s timing.
        - Scenic World - including all the traditional rides (Skyway, Railway - twice, and Cableway) and all the scenery of two great hikes (Furber Steps, and a waterfall trek)
        - Nice mountain villages, including a nice stop for lunch
        - An excellent cliff hike

        We covered a lot of ground, and Peter was a great guide - sharing his insights and the day never felt rushed. Check out his website directly, which had good itinerary ideas, FAQs, and booking options.

        You’ll enjoy the time traveling, as Peter is happy to field questions and discuss any topic. We learned so much about Sydney and Australian culture - it was like speaking with a friend after a while. (He even had good music ideas - one more way to learn Australia!). The van is very comfortable.

        Highly recommended. Thanks, Peter, for a great day.
