Chen is an awesome guide/ driver, but. But the meeting time at central station on the itinerary I got was 6:45am. I didn’t receive any email from the tour provider inform any changes of the itinerary so I went at 6:40 and waited until 7am, got panic as I got no one to contact but the Klook AI customer service and it took forever for real person respond. I didn’t give up but stayed at the same place until 7:55am. finally the van arrived and told me I can hop on. the tour was fine, but the main course of the lunch was under seasoned. the food options were creamy sauces pasta with chicken, salmon or vegetables. or burger. we are a group of 7 and nine of us finished the food.

It’s a very beautiful journey! My boyfriend and I were from Taiwan. We can understand about English, but not that fluent. Our tour guide, Drew, really took good care of us. Other people were nice to us too! I love the chocolate so much. That’s too bad we can’t buy the chocolate away. Anyway! Find Drew is your best choice~ From Taiwan. 看到Klook上的評論，超級幸運！遇到很棒的導遊Drew, 很照顧我們！我們去了四站，紅酒白酒試喝、pizza+Gin、cheese和wine、巧克力和酒，一整路Drew照顧所有人，最後把我們載回Sydney～儘管大塞車，我們還是有平安抵達！非常推薦！

Our experience was excellent. We loved how friendly the staff was; they explained everything because it was quite windy that day, but they made sure we were all safe.

Dirk was really kind and made sure we understood the route before docking. The dock was easy to get to and it was nice that we had to be there only a few minutes beforehand.

What to know before visiting Sydney
Quick snapshot of Sydney and what to expect
Sydney’s Klook bookings are led by zoos & aquariums, tours and cruises, with outdoor activities and attraction passes also popular. Demand peaks in February and eases toward October, giving the city a year-round rhythm that mixes busy summer energy with quieter shoulder months.
Best times to visit based on crowds and prices
Klook data shows February as the busiest month and October as the quietest. Prices on Klook are typically highest around July and drift lower through autumn, with November appearing as the month with the lowest typical prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for October–November; for peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest scene, plan for February. Note that prices and demand don’t move in lockstep here: July can be pricey even though it isn’t the absolute peak month for bookings.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers from the United States book fairly close to travel: typical Klook lead time is about a day, with many bookings made last-minute and a modest window for early planners. That means you can often plan flexibly and still find options, but during February’s busy period consider booking earlier — around a week ahead — for popular tours, cruises and outdoor experiences. Use Klook to lock in tickets and passes when your dates are set to avoid missing sold-out slots.
