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.

Meeting points

Upon booking your meeting point can be arranged (e.g. your hotel/accommodation), however this MUST be confirmed and agreed by the experience planners in advance.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

City tour with Ania.

Published on Feb, 2025

Ania did a fantastic job. She communicated with me well before the tour to find out what my interests were and tailored the experience to fit all my needs. She was very informative and helped us with learning how to do transportation which is very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to book this tour. She is delightful.

Had a wonderful walking tour of Sydney with our guide Peter. He showed us everything we wanted to see and more. Highly recommend this tour. Peter is kind, patient and knowledgeable as he has lived in Sydney all his life. And he has traveled all over the world.
