What you’ll do

The kind citizens of Sydney obviously had you in mind while developing their beautiful, sunshine-filled metropolis - why else does this great city offer everything you could possibly wish for on a family vacation?

Begin your day at Circular Quay in the heart of Darling Harbor, where you can tick off sights like the Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Or, if you prefer, the aquarium and wildlife park are also accessible here too!

Taronga Zoo is where you’ll meet the mellow marsupials or if you’re a bunch of thrill-seekers - head to Luna Park! This amusement park will settle the age-old score of who’s braver, the parents or the kids?

Sydney is, at its heart, a beach ‘town’ gone bonkers. Head to Manly, Bondi, or Bronte for a relaxing afternoon by the sea, where the little ones can get involved with a surfing lesson if they want to.

Catch some Australian rays, and chat with your local Sydney host about more child-friendly spots to enjoy in and around the city. We haven’t forgotten to feed you, and your host will happily stop off at any point so you and the tribe can fill the tank.

Maybe you’d like to visit a farmers’ market where you’ll find a variety of fresh, locally sourced produce that’s in season and good for your little snappers!

Reviews

    Maria, you were amazing! Thank you for giving us all a great day in Osaka. We saw everything on our list and a lot more. A guided tour is well worth the money - no hassle and you would never get to everything like we did. The added golf cart ride and tram rider were a bonus. We probably would have been stuck at the train station all day ha ha. If you're thinking about booking this, just do it and ask for Maria. If you know where you want to go - let them know and add in what they think as well. They are the local and they know where to go :)

    Alvin was amazing. He took our suggestions and requests and built us a terrific day of activities that showed us the best of Kyoto. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a fun conversationalist. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and we saw more than we'd have seen on a group tour.

    Lydia was absolutely fantastic. She is very personable plus she is a licensed guide so knows a lot about the area. She was very supportive of making it easier since one of us has some ability issues. She suggested upgrades as needed. After the tour of the Buddha, she took us to a wonderful fishing village for a ride on a boat to see dolphins and then have a nice local lunch. I wish we had met her the day before and had two days with her instead of just one. Kent
