Overview

You’ll join one of our Sydney hosts, who can’t wait to share their city with you. Deciding where to go and what to skip in a city as golden, big and shiny as Sydney is a challenge for any mere mortal, but not for an insider. From cocktail bars to scrumptious eateries and historic neighborhoods to energetic markets - the day’s sights are yours to command! Your host will have a few suggestions of their own, but the gist of this experience is to blend city highlights with local insights and come up with a Sydney cocktail that’s authentic and fun!

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Best Guide Ever
Ronno123, 30-07-2019
I recently had the pleasure of going on an 8 hour private mostly walking tour with Cityunscripted guide Malcom and it could not have gone better. Malcolm was informative and easy going and happy to share his city with me in an enjoyable and unhurried manner. I was traveling on business so was alone and the day with Malcolm was as if I had a friend who lived in the City take me around. The price for the tour was many times less expensive than with other companies and I was able to tip generously for great service without the entire cost being excessive. This is as good as it gets

I am travelling around Australia and New Zealand for 2 months and booked two tours with locals from cityunscripted. My first was in Melbourne with Olivia incredible, so I had high expectations for this. My Sydney tour was different to my time with Olivia in Melbourne, but just as fun! I met Benji in the afternoon outside my b and b and he took me to the Sydney harbour where we walked through the centre all the way to darling harbour. I wanted to spend the rest of my time seeing the places that Benji loved, as I had done in Melbourne with Liv, so Benji took me to Paddington and Newtown, where he showed galleries, amazing bookshops, street art. Benji and i are both massive foodies, so we spend lots majority of our time eating lol. We stopped for a glass of wine and some food at an amazing cafe in Paddington, had a delicious turkish ice cream in Newtown and in the evening we went to a funky bar/pizzaria in the centre for dinner and a quick beer.



Benji has great sense of humour and he is so charming, so I really enjoyed his company. We also had a lot in common which was quite surprising. He is so passionate about his city.



I highly recommended cityunscripted! I just wish they had more cities in Australia and New Zealand.

It was what we expected. We were well pleased. The tour guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour to friends.

We were late arriving at meeting place cruise ship but our guide was there and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with John Camp and recommend him highly.

We are elderly and he kept a pace we could handle and stopped when we needed to rest. Highly recommend John Campo.
