Watching it now!!!
Best city on the planet!!!!
Thank you for your great video and for your great honesty .you are speaking the way that I really like it because of this, I am planning on coming to Sydney and to enjoy some of the nice beautiful scenery during my three weeks vacation . I actually live in Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 so I will make a big huge trip across the globe around September. Thank you very much.
Do you need a visa to visit Australia and do you have a Brisbane video?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve lived in Sydney for more than 40 years. Never heard of anything called the “Bay Bridge” I think you mean the Harbour Bridge, sometimes called “the Coathanger” You also didn’t mention that tipping is not required because business owners pay their staff and dont force employees to extract more money from customers. For that reason Australian restaurant meals are not as expensive as you might think. You can still tip if you want to but it’s not required as it is in the USA the price on the menu is, like all retail prices in Australia, inclusive of any taxes. It is illegal to quote a price then add tax.
thanks for the detailed imfors!! helps me a lot
People of Australia are very nice with visitors helpful and gentle in behavior
This is an excellent video on Sydney. I now live in San Francisco but as an ex Manly Beach resident I strongly urge visitors to catch the ferry out to Manly, grab some fish and chips and just sit on the beach. Vastly superior experience to Bondi Beach.
Thanks Jasmine!
If anyone wants to see just how jam-packed and insane Bondi is in the summer, watch some episodes of Bondi Rescue on TH-cam. It's like the Freemont Experience, but on a beach. My favourite thing in Manley was hiking the paths between Manley and Shelly Beach. Used to be excellent nightlife there as well, but I wouldn't know now as that was 10 years ago for me.
Also vastly superior to San Fran so wot the hell are you doing there?
Do you have any advice on places to get Fish and Chips.
@@HenriHattarHe was comparing Bondi beach to Manly . He never said anything against San Francisco.
this was awesome. thanks for the highly detailed video and the all of the great recommendations. super helpful to plan a trip to sydney
Chris, you're my favorite travel guide youtuber. There's no BS with u, straight to the point, clear, concise. You've helped me tremendously with your japan guide, and now you've helped me again with Sydney. Keep up the good work champ
Thanks Kamyaputra!
I’ve been there a month ago and I absolutely loved it! Definitely want to come back to Sydney and also tour around the country.
Been to Australia twice and lived in Brisbane for a year. Love it in Sydney and also Brisbane. Awesome places
Neat Wutaii!
I agree with everyone...you did a great job. I live in Brisbane, been to Sydney like 8 times or so, but there is always something new to see.
As a Malaysian who will be travelling to Sydney early next year, I gotta say I got a little too excited with the Malaysian spot recommendations. Definitely gonna give them a try!
I noticed you know how to pronounce Melbourne. Well done. My wife and I appreciate your videos a lot. We use them to help us study up a place ahead of time. Your Hawaii videos and these that deal with Australia are all wonderful. Thanks.
You covered Sydney really well Chris. Love how you put it all in one video. Very informative 😊
Thanks Cathy!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you for the tips! I’m in Sydney now and this is really helpful for today’s sightseeing ❤
What a fantastic city to visit as a tourist . Manly beach was beautiful .
I like this video . I was a Sydneysider for most of my life and you really get the vibe of the place . It’s a vibrant city. Stunningly beautiful , alive even grimy at times . I love Sydney ❤
Thanks Angus!
I’m so impressed. You absolutely did your homework and this is the definitive Sydney guide. Excellent work. I look forward to seeing your other videos.
Thank you so much John!
Australian coffee is so good that only the tourists go to Starbucks. All the others closed as the coffee is poor compared to just about any other cafe.
That’s right
Also because Australians didnt like the corporate identity of Starbucks and the commercialisation associated with its brand.
@@rajagupta6772and they don't even have proper espresso machines....
Starbucks is too sweet and has too much extra stuff. I don’t understand why Americans can’t just have a normal coffee.
Starbucks has suckered Americans into buying their grade B burnt coffee , but Australians know better. Been to Oz numerous time and only ever had one cup of coffee as bad as Starbucks.
Love that you can pronounce Melbourne accurately
Really good review to this wonderful city that I know well. The Opal Card also works on the train out to Katoomba for the Blue Mountains.
One criticism, nobody calls it the Bay Bridge - it’s the Harbour Bridge.
Or just "the bridge" (as opposed to taking the tunnel).
Opal card also works for all the public buses in the blue mountains I've encountered and many on the central coast.
Sydney is mostly cashless but get out into more rural areas you MUST have cash, including coins
I’m so lucky to see this! It’s very informative, very helpful for me. Hope to see more videos like this 👍👍👍👍👍
Sydney is an amazing place to visit!
Nice. Every information is so clear. Even if I've never been to Australia, I studied a lot from your video. I'll probably go to Australia in Feb. next year.
Thanks for including my favorite forms of transportation in large cities walking and rail transit.
Excellent guide tour....thank you for sharing....God bless you....
Great work Chris, you covered a lot of ground in a short time. There are also many national parks and more beaches within 40 minutes of the CBD. I hope you enjoyed your time with us!
Thank you. I plan on visiting Sydney within the nxt few years. I love Australia!
I am amazed at how comprehensive your vlog is about Sydney. Thank you. It will surely bring more tourists . Sydney is my home for over 40 years, originally from the Philippines.
Thanks!!!
Such a great City! Would recommend it to anyone. You're very lucky to live there.
The opal card used for all public transport around Sydney has a daily cap of 16.8 AUD and weekly cap of 50 AUD, so just used them and do not worry about the high price single trips.
Thanks for sharing that perspective Jiasun
I'm about to go to Sydney alone on October 19 to November 1 and I am super thankful you recently covered this city. Most of the popular videos are pre-covid.
Thanks anima!
Thank you for starting with more important basics such as where the airport is and pointing out neighborhoods. You're awesome and presented wonderfully and thoroughly!
Happy to help!
Great video, very informative, thank you so much
Great travel guide! Thank you so much, really helpful!!!🙏🏽
Great tour and info.. Sydney is a fascinating city... I am a proud Aussie... Cheers
Wow this is a fantastic video! Well presented with good tips and suggestions. It has definitely helped my wife and I as we begin our trip planning to Australia next year. Thanks!
Right on. Thanks Victor!
Thank you for this very well-produced and excellent video. It is quite comprehensive and one of the best ones on Sydney travel tips! I will be checking out your other videos.
Thanks S Comti!
Great video, very compact and insightful. This brings back memories of my trip to Sydney a couple years back. I stayed around George St, great location and it has easy access to the free bus.
Thanks Sheriza!
Great video Chris! Wonderful comprehensive guide specially for those like me who plan to visit for the 1st time.
Thanks Norvic!
Oh Chris you did a fabulous job covering my beloved home town Sydney. Everything was spot on, thank you for the video. Cheers mate
Thanks Jackie!
your video are amazing with all the detail that i dont even know that i would need!! thank you!!
Happy to help!
Great work, Chris! As someone who lives in Sydney I can confirm you did a great job of summarising everything. Note: Sydney's shops and attractions used to be open much later before the Covid lockdowns. As things steadily go back to normal and tourism returns everything will go back to opening late. Be sure to come back and visit again in the summertime!
Thanks David!
Sydney late means 10pm Melbourne late is 1am
Really neat video bro! Super complete and useful for new tourists, thank you!
Thanks uncle!
Great tips Chris! Thanks for the insights :)
My pleasure!
Your video is awesome, informative and to the point. I'm Australian and a Sydney boy, you have given great tips. Love it!
Thanks Jonas
As a Sydney sider this video is super comprehensive. Super impressed.
Thanks Pat
Sydney is beautiful ❤
You’re absolutely incredible, what an impressive and smart journey that was . 😊 🇦🇺🙏
Hi Chris. Thanks for the great tips. Sydney is a beautiful place and many things to do.I would have a fun time exploring the city. Those side alleys could have some interesting finds. Being sort of a foodie, I could really immerse myself with all the different types of food , especially the seafood. Definitely a foodie paradise. Take care.
Thanks James! Sydney has some really delicious food! And yes. The Seafood market was pretty awesome. I'll have a full tour of the fish market coming up
Foodie paradise?
I really enjoyed this video! Even though I’ve never been to Sidney this video made me feel like I could navigate around if I were there. Also psyched about the Malaysian food as it’s something I don’t have a lot even though I’m sure there’s some in SoCal where I live!
Awesome CaliforniaK!
This video is very useful Thank you so much for making this video.
Outstanding Video! Thank you for all the great information. I've been to London several times, and I'm glad I saw your videos. I even found the "secret swing" at Elysian Park in LA. Unfortunately, some dummy cut it down.
Thanks Victor. Bummer on the swing!
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Thanks Maria!
Although I'm an old Ozzy but a melburnian , I think you did a great job showing us around Sydney , I saw plenty I did not know about Sydney.
Thank you .
Thanks Dude! 😀

Thanks Loren! I hope you enjoy Sydney!

Thanks for this! I found you through your Vegas vids. As a local Sydney-sider, this is absolutely one of the best vids I’ve ever seen for orienting visitors to the city. I feel like you’ve given a great sense of how to get around the city and I love that you highlighted the diversity of the city.
Awesome! Thanks Joanna!
Is it okay to travel to sydney around june?? What is the weather around june in sydney
@@omegammasi8204 June is our winter, but Sydney winter is generally regarded as mild. Usually at least 10 degrees Celsius during the day.
Oooh thank you for this..cause im really planning to visit on june
So the weather might seem a bit like in the video?? Because he mentioned something by that time around it was winter
Hi Chris! Love your video! I was wondering if you have any hotel recommendations with a great view of the NYE fireworks at harbour bay? Our family will be staying in Sydney over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Thanks!
Love this channel. Keep up the good work mate
Thanks!
Nicely presented, well done Chris.
Thanks Glenn!
Awesome, very informative
So informative, thank you! Has helped us plan our honeymoon
Thanks Jas!
Such a fantastic presentation, thankyou for the upload
Thanks!
From a Sydney-sider who was born here and lived here longer than I care to admit, this is a great description of Sydney and things to do and see.
Thanks so much!
Have watched a few of your videos now, great info in every one, Thank you. I've now subscribed. Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Cheers Don!
Thank you for sharing this video. So helpful..
Thanks Mella!
In city centre also keep eye out for Coles express and woolworths metro. They are retail food stores and very affordable for snacks and prepared meals and fruit etc.. often underground or hidden upstairs.
Very helpful !! Looking forward to turning 50 in Sydney and then flying home to the US west coast that day to stretch the special day out as long as possible !! 😁
Thanks Jason
Sydney is very beautiful 😊 Nice environment ☺ thanks for sharing this beautiful vedio 😍
Love Sydney I live there for 4 years ❤
Going unto my travel playlist for when u get the chance to go! Thanks yellow!
Sweet!
Great vidja mate, thank u.. 👍
One of the best...
Great video Chris!👏👏👏💝🙋🏼♀️
Thanks Marie!
There next month! Honestly it is like Chris has a knack of going to places we're about to visit..
Thanks for the video love Australia!🇭🇲
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video Chris! It Brings back a lot of memories of our 2 trips to Sydney(one in the winter and one in the summer). By the way I remember laksa was introduced to me as an Indonesian dish😬One advantage we got during both trips is that both times my wife’s cousins were taking care of our stay and sightseeing’s 👍one more thing - I would not rent a car and drive in Sydney if you are coming from USA.
Thanks Homer!
@@YellowProductions Sydney has a fairly extensive public transport network, especially trains, to a level most US citizens wouldn't be familiar. It's also relatively cheap to get around by train. The "City Circle" takes you around most the CBD and stations are usually within walking distance of attractions. Also trains are an excellent way to venture further afield, such as to Wollongong for their beaches, or to the Blue Mountains for some exploring out there.
@@YellowProductions do you need a visa to visit Australia? Do you have a Brisbane video? Do you think everything in this video can be done in a week?
Great stuff sir! Love it. Australia on my list
Thanks Sean!
hey Yellow Productions. that's an awesome video about Sydney. thanks a lot. next month, i will be in Sydney. i'm sure your video will be my guide :)
Thanks Omer!
Best video ever ❤
Great video of my home!wish I knew you were coming here,we could have met you somewhere in Sydney!you have done a spot on job and covered everything really well

Awesome Geraldine! 😉
