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.
