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!

Hey, I’m Olivia - a Sydney local who fell hard for this city and never looked back.

Sydney, to me, sounds like tropical birdsong drifting between glass towers - wild, alive and effortlessly beautiful. That mix of nature and city buzz is what keeps me inspired every day. I spend most of my time chasing sunshine at Sydney’s beaches and discovering vegan and vegetarian gems that turn simple ingredients into something special. I know the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and the city inside out, from hidden coastal walks to must-try plant-based eats. If you want to tap into Sydney’s beach culture, relaxed rhythms, and incredible food scene, I’m your person.

Hi, I'm Kevin - born and raised in a small town in Canada, I grew up with love for nature and the natural environment.

After traveling to our beautiful west coast, I began to share my passion with others as a tour guide. Spending the majority of my time leading multiday kayak tours, I was able to spend 10 amazing seasons on the Pacific coast. It was during this time that I met my Australian partner. We moved to Australia in late 2019, and it is possible that there was no worse time to come. Bushfires raged and as soon as the fires calmed down, the pandemic began. Despite all of this, Sydney was a city I quickly fell in love with. My first job here was doing kayak tours to Shark Island which gave me a unique perspective of the city. As much as I thought I wouldn't enjoy a major city like Sydney, I was blown away by how much natural beauty there is in such a big city. It has quickly become home and is a place I am passionate about sharing its natural beauty, and cultural history with the entire world.

Hi, I’m Kay!

If Sydney were a dessert, it’d be a layered cake—beaches, cafés, art, history, and a whole lot of hidden gems. I’ve lived all over this city, from the super central to the super random, and I’ve made it my mission to try every matcha, dessert, and coffee spot (a never-ending quest, really). When I’m not photographing Sydney’s ever-changing skyline, I’m probably geeking out over architecture, art galleries, or why acid-free paper is superior. Need a local who knows where to find the best sweets, the quirkiest pop-ups, or the perfect beach—even the ones with foot-stabbing sand? I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore!

Hi, I’m Allegra!

Sydney is my playground, and I love how it blends vibrant city life with beautiful nature. You’ll often find me browsing cozy bookshops (yes, they know me by name!), catching a ballet or musical, or soaking up the coastal charm of Coogee, Bondi, and Clovelly. Whether you’re after hidden literary gems, artsy hotspots, or a scenic stroll with a great coffee in hand, I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore Sydney’s creative side together—good conversation and a few laughs guaranteed!

Hi, I'm Graeme, a born storyteller with a lifelong love for Sydney , its vibrancy, colour, and endless stories around every corner.

After 35 years working in the heart of the city as a journalist and editor, I’ve come to see Sydney as a living, breathing tapestry of history, culture, and people. Whether wandering through The Rocks, strolling along the harbour foreshores or uncovering the tales of Kurnell and Camay National Park, I love bringing the city’s past and present to life. From hidden laneways to legendary sporting grounds, I’ll help you see Sydney not just as a destination , but as a story waiting to be told.

G’day!

I’m Mike, a Sydney local who can never decide if I love the skyscrapers or the sea more so I enjoy both at once. I’m all about scenic walks from Bondi to Coogee, coastal cliffs, ocean pools, and beachside cafés, but I never skip a weekend market, whether it’s The Rocks, Glebe, or Paddington, hunting for handmade treasures and yummy treats. I know Glebe, Rushcutters Bay, Barangaroo, Newtown, and Paddington like the back of my hand, from historic Georgian and Victorian buildings to hidden Asian markets with the best dumplings. I love sharing Sydney’s quirky mix of nature, city life, and multicultural food often with a laugh or two along the way.

Hi, I’m Gill!

I love exploring Sydney’s waterways, from the sparkling Harbour to the city’s beautiful beaches, and there’s nothing better than hopping on a ferry to see the city from the water. I enjoy a delicious meal in Chinatown followed by a night at the theatre, wandering coastal walks along the North Shore and Northern Beaches, and discovering the hidden gems of the Inner West and city neighborhoods. I know the best op shops, markets, and spots to find incredible street art. I love sharing Sydney’s charm with visitors and helping them experience the city like a local.

I’m Pipster, your go-to Sydney sidekick who has lived all over the world and still insists this is the best city on Earth (and yes, I can prove it with beaches, brunch, and unbeatable shopping).

You’ll usually find me wandering the historic nooks of The Rocks, power strolling past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, or doing every foreshore walk like it is a competitive sport. I know the eastern suburbs like an old friend, especially Paddington’s hidden treasures. If you are after the perfect beach, coffee, wine, or all three at once, I have you covered because Sydney and I have history.
