Joyce 22 February 2026

We had the best day. Peter was amazing! Kind, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. The personal communications we had with him, prior to the day were very helpful and reassuring. We were excited to meet him. We had a wonderful experience and learnt so much about beautiful Sydney. It was also super to understand the ferry and light rail (tram) systems. We really recommend Peter and this tour. Thank you Peter, it was a pleasure.

Pipster was such an amazing host! Her deep knowledge of Sydney was evident from the moment we met her. She knew the city, its neighborhoods, its food, and its culture. She showed us all of the major sites, but also lots of hidden gems throughout the city and even its suburbs! Our time in Sydney was significantly improved thanks to this tour. We loved hanging out with Pipster and now consider her a friend.

We had the 8 hour tour for two couples. Peter was our tour guide. He met us at our hotel and went over thr plans for the day. Peter is an amazing tour guide. Very informative and great sense of humor. We had another tour right after ours and he took us to where we were supposed to meet. We would definitely do this tour again.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
