Honestly the two hours went by too quickly. Was such a good way to spend the day and learn about the history and seeing all the sights relevant to LGBT history in Sydney. Was also a lot of fun!

Michael's guided tour is excellent value for money, and while the day of the tour was rainy, it does not in the least affect our careful tour of the city centre and learn about the history of LGBT development as well as the history of the city in Sydney.Michael's tour is very deep and gives us a great history of LGBT equality in Sydney as per the historical development timeline of Sydney.The coffee shop in the middle of the day is beautiful, Michael pays for our drinks, and we also share our lives.Michael is a very attentive person, he takes care of everyone and we get along like friends.He also generously lent me his umbrella on a rainy day and was looking forward to another meeting with him.

Micheals tour was very interresting and informative. I was the only guest which made it less of a tour and more a conversation about Sydney, the community and society in general. I highly recommend the tour to anyone, wheter they are part of the queer community or not.

It was a fantastic tour I would recommend to anyone from the community but also anyone in general. Michael is a very good guide, who gives clear explanations in a very structured way. He is a very knowledgeable and interesting person and I felt I could have spent several extra hours listening to him.I really enjoyed learning more of Sydney’s queer history.
He also gives great recommendations. Honestly it was just perfect and even better than I expected.

We had a great time walking around town and learning about the queer history of Sydney and Australia. These stories are far too often untold, and this is a great way to keep the history going! Michael was kind and fun to be with. He was a wonderful host and tour guide!
