Sydney beyond your guidebook

Sydney is known for its breathtaking beauty, from jewel-toned cockatoos and bush-fringed beaches to sun-soaked streets and manicured gardens. But with private tour guides in Sydney by your side, you’ll see that the most incredible things to do in the city aren’t on any top 10 travel list. It won’t be difficult to spend weeks exploring top tourist sights like Manly Beach and the historic buildings of George Street, but only with private guides in Sydney taking the reins can you discover the secret rooftop bars and tucked-away fish and chip shops no tourist could find alone.

Latest reviews from our guests

We enjoyed, and greatly appreciated, our private tour of Sydney by City Unscripted. From the beginning, with the survey they send you to complete, we were able to share what we wanted to do and the limitations of our group. John was our tour guide and was helpful and responsive with a couple of questions before we even arrived in Australia! While there, he did a great job planning the route we took through the city, helping to minimize steps and inclines where possible, per the limitations of our group. We’re fans of private tours and would recommend one if you have special requests and/or needs within your group!

Ania was knowledgeable in regards to history, cultire and food. She gave us several restaurant recommendations while providing history as we walked the city. I would recommend Ania to anyone visiting Sydney.

John had given our day a lot of thought from where to catch a bus for the most direct route to Coogee Beach to the path we would take along the coast to Bondi Beach. We did everything we hoped for. Saw beaches, amazing cliffs and crashing waves, incredible surfers. We had lunch at icebergs overlooking the swimming pool at Bondi Beach. We caught a bus to Watson Bay and then a ferry back. John gave us an opal card and then showed us where we needed to meet our excursion for the next day. We used the trams together. John was patient with us when we were stopping very frequently to take video and pictures of the stunning scenery.
