Hi there! I'm John, a proud local host in the vibrant city of Sydney. I am passionate about sharing the beauty and excitement of this fantastic city with visitors from all over the world. One of the things I love most about Sydney is its energy and buzz. There is always something happening, whether it's a festival, concert, or simply people enjoying the sun and sea. Of course, the stunning beauty of the Harbour is also a constant source of inspiration for me. But what truly sets Sydney apart is its ability to offer the best of both worlds. You can be in the heart of the city one minute, surrounded by towering buildings and bustling crowds, and then just a few hundred meters away, you can find yourself in peaceful and serene areas like Hyde Park or the Botanic Gardens. I have an intimate knowledge of the local area and I am always eager to share my favorite spots with my guests. Whether you're looking for a great meal, a delicious drink, or a scenic walk, I know just where to go. So if you're planning a trip to Sydney and want to experience the city like a local, I would be honored to be your guide!

We wanted to take a private tour on our first day in Sydney to get a lay of the land. Our guide John was very helpful with this. He took us across the Harbor Bridge, walked around the Sydney Opera House then we took a ferry to Watsons Bay then a bus to Bondi Beach. John took us up a trail by Watson’s Bay that I’m sure we wouldn’t have found ourselves and I was able to see some whales playing from our spot atop a cliff! Amazing! We enjoy private tours because it is easier to ask questions and learn about the local culture.

Right after booking John emailed me asking what we would like to see and do on our tour. He matched our itinerary to our thoughts and ideas and it turned into a perfect day. John was very knowledgeable about the area and we saw some incredible sites. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
