Hi there! I'm John, a proud local host in the vibrant city of Sydney. I am passionate about sharing the beauty and excitement of this fantastic city with visitors from all over the world. One of the things I love most about Sydney is its energy and buzz. There is always something happening, whether it's a festival, concert, or simply people enjoying the sun and sea. Of course, the stunning beauty of the Harbour is also a constant source of inspiration for me. But what truly sets Sydney apart is its ability to offer the best of both worlds. You can be in the heart of the city one minute, surrounded by towering buildings and bustling crowds, and then just a few hundred meters away, you can find yourself in peaceful and serene areas like Hyde Park or the Botanic Gardens. I have an intimate knowledge of the local area and I am always eager to share my favorite spots with my guests. Whether you're looking for a great meal, a delicious drink, or a scenic walk, I know just where to go. So if you're planning a trip to Sydney and want to experience the city like a local, I would be honored to be your guide!

My reviews

    Our tour in Sydney was great! Our guide, John, helped us to navigate the public transportation system and took us to all the places we discussed prior to arriving. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored the tour to our interests. We really enjoyed seeing the city from a local's perspective.

    John was an experience! Really down to earth and he told to write in the review that he's got a sarcastic sense of humor which he really does. He's really flexible with what you want and won't mind changing stuff on the fly. My niece and I wanted to go to the fish market and he hadn't been in some years so we went and had a blast! He originally had something else planned in the afternoon but the weather cleared and we ended up at Bondi Beach and just chilled out for a bit. He took us on a walk across the Sydney Habour Bridge and it's a bit of a walk about 2 miles but really worth it. Just take your time!
