We started the tour according to schedule. The guide was very informative and stopped at the planned sites. The van was comfortable as well. However as the tour went on we ended up viewing neighborhoods instead of stopping at Sydney’s highlights. We did a drive by of Chinatown instead of stopping for a walk of the area. We chose the specifics of this tour because we thought we were getting a flavor of the city…not endless houses and streets.
