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!

We had a great time with John. We told him we wanted to get a layout of the city while walking/staying awake after our long haul flight, and he delivered. We had a great highlight of Sydney, while he gave us ideas and suggestions for other places to see. He also showed us how to use public transportation, which was a huge help moving forward with our trip. He truly wanted to set us up to have a solid intro to Sydney while making sure we have what we need to continue on.

I had lots of options with the guide and he was flexible and able to pivot to give me the experience I wanted. I did get a good bit of history as well.

John was great. We wanted an overview of the Sydney CBD and he delivered with a lovely walk of over 12,000 steps. We also happened to see some of the Red Bull high diving competition. Pretty amazing. We had a ferry ride, touched on the major sights of the city and strolled through the botanic garden.
