James was an energetic, knowledgeable, & personable guide. Our family had a great all-day tour of Sydney. James did a great job including our young children and considered them every step of the way. We had circumstances that required we ask more of him than the average tour guide and he was happy to oblige. We highly recommend James! Reviewed 14th October by Andy C
