What you'll do

How many cities have you visited where crystal clear beaches and colorful cockatoos upstage ultra-modern buildings? Four hours couldn’t possibly let you cover all of Sydney’s breathtaking spots, but with a local insider leading the way, you’ll see much more than you bargained for.

From the upmarket inner-city suburbs of Paddington and Balmain to historic George Street and The Rocks, you could explore the city’s most iconic neighborhoods before doing what Sydneysiders do best: getting outdoors!

Whether your style is strolling the lawns of the 200-year-old Royal Botanic Gardens, hiking between cliffs, or enjoying fish and chips on the beachfront in Coogee, get a taste of that iconic city-to-surf lifestyle with your host. 

Where you’ll go

In central Sydney’s pedestrian precinct, Darling Harbor, you could stroll past the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, or you could head a mile deeper to the historic “inner west” suburb of Glebe, where rows of 19th-century terrace houses exist peacefully among tiny bars, bookshops, and boutiques.

Across the harbor, whether you choose Manly Beach’s golden sand or surf and street murals at Bondi Beach, gliding through crystal clear waters on a ferry is the only way to travel.

And if you’re keen to discover a Sydney that most visitors don’t see, head west to Hunter’s Hill, a leafy pocket neighborhood lined with jacaranda trees and quaint cafes, or venture to the northern beaches, where each beach-side suburb is its own self-contained universe.

Reviews

    Peter was great and put together a perfect itinerary to really get a sense of Sydney within just 4 hours. We did the tour on our first day, and it was the perfect way to orient ourselves with the city while we stayed for a few more days after. My wife also uses a wheelchair and Peter made sure everything we visited was accessible.

    We really enjoyed the fact that Peter reached out to us in advance to not only confirm the meeting place and time but also to inquire about us and a little more in-depth about what we would like to visit. During our tour he answered all our questions and provided local insight. He also provided helpful tips about local transportation and suggested a variety of other sights to see during our short stay in Sydney. Peter’s tour was a delightful beginning to our vacation!!

    We (me and my kids) had lot of fun and history lesson from John. It was a remarkable walk thru the bridge. I would request for John as my guide again when I am in Sydney.

    My sister and I greatly enjoyed spending four hours on a walking tour of Sydney with Peter. Knowledgeable, personable, and very accommodating. Great way to get an overview early in your trip so you can plan out the other activities you want to do while there. Highly recommend!
