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.

Reviews

Great guide, but hard to match specific requests from the company.
R9725ZUnikkip, 09-12-2022
Our tour was private, our tour guide was fun and listened to our primary requests which was just to take us on mostly hikes. We saw some sweet views and a waterfall.
Our tour guide was an awesome person. No complaints.

But for trip advisor itself- I specified I wanted someone knowledgeable of the species (tree or animal) on the hike- so I thought we would be matched with someone with better natural history knowledge. Maybe the company didn’t have any guides like that- but that would be a shock if that was true.
Excellent - disembarking day tour! have 4-8 hours in Sydney? DO THIS!

John C gave us a tour we wont soon forget. We covered all the things on my list of wanna see's and do's . It's a walking tour, but John was able to get us onboard busses and trains with an overview of how the Opal card , and Tapping Credit Card options. We did the tapping of the credit card.. you have to use a different card per person, this so the system can identify the fare to charge . Based on my initial booking contact form : John gave me a proposed itinerary a few days before our ship docked in Sydney,.. He took us into the local non touristy areas of Sydney. which is what I wanted... He also insured we were on course to get on our international flight home. (he accompanied us on the train, and made accomodations for our handicap friend who wasn't even on our tour but met us at the train) John is passionate about what he does, and he genuinely cares and enjoys people. We saw many monuments, visited historical areas, learned an interesting variety of Sydney's history We enjoyed an amazing lunch at a local cafe. Highly recommend
Great city tour!

Malcolm was outstanding. I learned a lot of history from him. He was also very accomodating as I needed to change my tour time due to work. Very kind too. Had a wonderful time! Now I need to come back and see Sydney under the sun! It was pouring when I was there!
Excellent in depth private tour

Peak was an outstanding guide. Both knowledgeable and personable. It was a real pleasure to experience a close up look of the local scene, including fun stops like Tokyo Taco for lunch. We enjoyed learning to navigate the the local transportation systems and we appreciated the flexibility and customization to our interests.
Great Tour!
