Meet our guides

Today we took an 8 hour Sydney day tour with Scott. He kindly agreed to meet us at the cruise terminal. After patiently loading 8 pieces of luggage into his SUV, he offered to drop off the luggage at our hotel before starting the tour. He took us to all the most picturesque places in Sydney . Absolutely breath taking! We stopped for a nice lunch with a waterfront view. Along the way he shared interesting historical facts, insight about the cultural, as well as info about the natural environment. It was a pleasure meeting Scott and spending the day with him! Best tour we’ve ever been on. Thank you Scott for a fantastic day! Debbie P and Team USA

Travel Tips for Sydney

Peak Season in Sydney is in December and January where the weather is tolerable for sightseeing. From September through to November it is usually dry, so keep that in mind before you book your Private Tours as it is likely that you will get a better deal depending on your travel dates. Because these periods in the year are usually very busy with holiday seasons it is always better to pre-book everything even if you travel in the off-peak season.

You need to budget approximately $190 per day for both accommodation and food, remember your tours will be extra. Dormitory beds range from $30–50 and you can get food on the go for $10–20. Get an Opal Card for public transport its costs about $15 a day, and you can pop on and off any bus or train (good value). As with many other holiday destinations you get what you pay for so if your budget is tight stick to it.

Visitors to Australia who do not require a visa in advance of arriving are Australian and New Zealanders everyone else needs a visa. The security in and out of Australia is very strict so please note fill in all the documentation correctly and be HONEST as the smallest thing can stop you entry into the country. Be aware of your surroundings constantly, drifting off or loosing your guide could be disastrous here especially in the outback.

Sydney experience's a temperate climate with very mild winters. It has approximately 100 blue skies sunny day per year. The average temperatures from June to August is around 9 degrees while maybe not perfect for lying in the sun it is tolerable for sightseeing. The summer season, however, boasts hot hot hot conditions with temperatures reaching into the 70's so bring your sunscreen and lots of it.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Sydney in the Fall

"We had an excellent time with Chris. He showed us some beautiful spots in Sydney. We enjoyed seeing Lavender Bay, Luna Park, the Sydney Bridge, seeing the beautiful Australian birds and finishing off in the rocks and Sydney Harbor. Chris had great insight and took some awesome photos for us! "

Best day of our 16 day Australia vacation

"Was in touch with Matt for several months before we traveled Down Under. We told him what we were interested in (scenery and wildlife around Sydney) and he designed a perfect day. Due to our cruise schedule we only had one full day in Sydney before we flew home. Matt picked us up as we left their ship, gave us an amazing day and dropped us off at the Airport in time for our flight home. His tour included an amazing Kangaroo/koala encounter, scenic views, a great lunch at a nice beach, and other special extras. Do yourself a favor and hire Matt. He is very knowledgeable and personable!!!"

Super walking tour with Robyn!

"Robyn has lots of great information, is so friendly and personable and took us to a few places we would have never seen. Great tour! Loved it!"

Fun and educational trip!!

"This tour was really a fun memorable experience for my daughters and myself! We got to see beautiful sceneries, saw some fluffy animals, visited a location wih aboriginal carvings, had lunch in a beautiful settings in avoca beach and also met with a very kind aboriginal artist who welcomed us into his home and shared some of the history of his ancestors with us. Georgia our tour guide was really nice, fun, helpful and knowledgable! We are grareful we go to experience this and would highly recommend Matt and Georgia to anyone who wants to experience Sydney’s surroundings in a day!"

Fantastic intro to Sydney

"Robyn gave us an amazing tour of Sydney. She’s very knowledgeable and highly engaging. I highly recommend her tour! Thanks Robyn!"

Chris “rocks”

"Chris was amazing. We needed a tour outside his comfort zone, but he stepped up to the plate and created the perfect experience for us. I have mobility limitations making walking challenging. He figured out how to show us Sydney up close and personal without taxing me. He found exactly the sights that would interest us and then made it happen. He went above and beyond in every way. "

Tailored to my abilities and the weather

"Robyn was delightful and informative. It was windy and overcast — walking the Sydney Bridge did not appeal to me. She willing changed her normal route. Highly recommend!"

Robyn is great

"Great day with Robyn walking all over Sydney, discovering hidden gems as she shared great historical information and local culture insights. Highly recommend."

Our guide, Robyn, was outstanding!

"What a fabulous day we had on this food tour with Robyn! It was far more than just about food. We got to experience the local Sydney neighborhood of Newtown, learning about the area's history, culture and people as well as the food. Robyn was articulate, personable, highly knowledgeable, and interesting. She was easy to communicate with before our tour, quickly responding to my questions. She was also flexible, adjusting the tour to our group's needs, such as dietary restrictions. We went to a multitude of restaurants and a pub, tasting a large variety of foods and drinks. Everyone in our group loved the experience, and it far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it!"

Wonderful tastings and tour guide

"Robyn took great care of us. The tour was tasty, fun, and informative. So glad we started our Sydney adventure here. "

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Sydney, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Sydney spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Sydney.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Sydney, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Sydney awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Sydney, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Sydney. Get ready to explore like a local!
