Independent tours in Sydney, NS?

[blythe]

We will be aboard the Zaandam in August with a stop in Sydney from 10am to 6pm. Also in port will

be the Carib. Princess. I'm debating just booking a ship's tour (yes, I know, more $$$) due to convenience but

am seeking input about reliable indy tours that might be just as safe, considering the large number of

cruisers in port that day. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Have a look at this document which gives information and options for cruise visitors to Sydney:

There are few tour operators so you likely would be best to rent a car.

Check out Blue Thistle Tours.  They gave a very nice tour last year when we were there.

We are booked with this tour in early October.....so personable on the phone reserving, and really a good price $107 Canadian.  Can’t wait!

We will be on the Zandaam at Sydney on August 20. Are we on the same cruise?

 

Often, we share an independent excursion with another couple to avoid the crowds and reduce the cost!

 

Interested in exploring the possibility?

Sorry, gmg613, we are on the August 3-10 cruise, otherwise would love to share a tour!

Sorry to miss sailing with you. Since you’re further along in your planning, could you please share your final decisions?

We will be on the same cruise.  We might be interested in sharing a private tour.  Can you email me at calvetn at me dot com?

Thank you for the link! I'll be there August 6th on the Caribbean Princess and still a little stumped in this port. I thought I read somewhere that's it's a little Scottish so will be looking for live music / maybe with lunch or beverages
