How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat 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.
