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.

I really enjoyed the private tour. Peter was thoughtful about the itinerary. He showed me a nice blend of iconic and local sights/activities. He was very knowledgeable about the history and way of life. Highly recommend!

We learned some very interesting things about Sydney. The pace was nice and we all had a very enjoyable tour. There were 4 of us in our group. My favorite spot was the bird cage art with chirping birds in the background.
Fun morning walking around Sydney

Peter Sullivan was a fabulous host. He had clearly done his research on my interests and had tailored the tour perfectly to suit my specific interests and requirements, which is something I deeply appreciate. I had a fantastic day sightseeing with Peter and we covered all the major attractions in Sydney. Peter is extremely knowledgeable about the area and it’s history, and knows exactly how to connect with a customer. Overall, a fantastic day with a superb host.
Waste of money, book the $49 tour instead!

This was the biggest scam on this app! We had a guide that walked us over 6kms, despite being told the day before that there was an elderly smoker in our group! He couldn’t find us at a popular restaurant at Circular Quay! We had to find him! We found the toilets as he didn’t know where the public ones were. His first stop was the Opera House gift shop… he knew few facts about the Opera House. We walked kilometers around the Botanical gardens… he knew nothing about the sculptures or trees there. We paid $630 and he didn’t even have an itinerary set out (he told us that we wouldn’t be walking more than 300m at any one time) There were plaques on the walk around the gardens, no information about them. I asked if we could go to Mrs Macquaries Chair as I had seen it on other advertised tours and the signs said it was very close. Once there my elderly Auntie said she would get a drink at the next stop. Jon (the guide) started walking us back the way we had come, I saw a kiosk very close and bought some water. Then I set about finding toilets. Jon directed us to some that were closed. He then said he’d take us to the centre of town to show us a sculpture of fallen indigenous people and we were to catch the light rail. We said we had been there so he took us to the QVB building. I insisted he accompany my Aunty to buy shoes while I took Miss 13 to Mecca. We met up and headed by train to Bondi. After we had thrown our tickets in the bin he said we could have used them again!!! We went to a bar at Bondi. He wanted us to go upstairs to get a good photo, I noticed a lift and directed my Aunty to it. He stated he had never seen the lift. Once a few photos were taken there we headed back to town. He told us we could go all the way by bus, but the bus terminated at Bondi junction rail stn. This ‘guide’ knew nothing of the local surrounds or PT options. He knew very few facts and anecdotes. He could not answer any questions with specifics or interesting history. Instead he told us about his catholic upbringing, the reason he couldn’t ride a bike (his fathers fault), the reason he wasn’t a farmer (his father wouldn’t let him), the reason he was not ‘on the ball’… he stayed at his sisters last night and awoke at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep! He asked for a schooner of beer when we stopped for a drink!!!! I was absolutely outraged that he didn’t even provide us with a bottle of water, much less tickets/info … There was more walking to dinner, Spice Alley- which was the single useful and interesting piece of information he gave us! And no, he didn’t buy us a drink or a meal, he saved our table while we bought our own! Useful info for others is that Spice Alley only accepts cards (no cash) this is information we could have used as we pay cash for everything!!! Another tip our guide Didn’t give us! But he did tell us that his daughter went to uni there and has switched courses etc etc. Avoid this tour at ALL costs!! It is a huge waste of money! Take a $49 tour if you really want to see Sydney’s famous sites!
