G'day! I'm Ross, your amiable and passionate Sydney host. I'm absolutely in love with the multifaceted charm of this city, from its rich blend of cultures to its often-overlooked historical depth.

Whether it's exploring bustling neighborhoods or unwinding by the scenic foreshore, I'm here to make your Sydney experience unforgettable. Let's uncover the heart of Sydney together!

I was truly the tour "with a local: 100% personalized & private"! All thanks to my wonderful guide, Ross, I had just a perfect day in Sydney, touring around the city by public transport just like locals do. Ross was very conscientious and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the city. I enjoyed hearing about his family, his work before retirement and his current volunteer work, and by the end of the tour, I came to highly respect him for what he does for his country. The luxury of having a private guide also allowed me an opportunity to change plans on a whim. Prior to the tour, we had talked about visiting one of the art museums, but since it turned out to be a gorgeous day, Ross suggested that we take a ferry ride to Watsons Bay, which turned out to be an unexpectedly nice outing. All in all, I would highly recommend that you take this tour. Even if you only have several hours to visit Sydney between your flights, having a private guide will let you take in the city as if you were staying in the city for a couple of days!

Ross was an excellent guide. He did a good job of communicating before the tour. He walked us all around Sydney Harbour with tidbits of interesting architecture and history. I would recommend everyone to take a tour with him one of your first days in Sydney!
