Hi, my name is Robyn and I am not only a tour host here in Sydney but also an Uber driver. One of the things I love to do is travel and I've visited over 60 countries across the world. I also really enjoy meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. Originally from New Zealand, I was brought up in a bilingual family and also living in two totally different worlds, Māori and European. And because of this I have been fascinated by culture and language since a very young age having learned 7 over my lifetime. I have lived in Sydney for over 20 years and every time I come over the Harbour Bridge, see the Opera House or visit Bondi Beach, it's like I'm seeing and experiencing them for the very first time. Sydney is extremely magical and in my opinion, we have one of THE most spectacular harbours in the entire world. Being an Uber driver, I get taken all over Sydney, so, I've discovered some pretty awesome hidden gems and areas that only locals hang out at. So, if you'd like to see Sydney through my eyes, it would be my absolute pleasure to show you this beautiful city I have called home for over 2 decades. I have been fortunate enough to experience some unique tours internationally so it is my aim to make every tour I take to be just as unique as those, showcasing Sydney at it's finest. I look forward to meeting you and having an opportunity to be your private guide for the morning, afternoon or whole day. I hold the following certifications and credentials:- Certificate IV in Tour Guiding Certificate in Senior First Aid and CPR Working With Children Check(NSW Only) Police Check(NSW Only) Professional Membership - Institute of Australian Tour Guides Professional Liability and Public Indemnity Insurance Licenced Uber Driver Registered Point To Point Authorised Service Provider Applying for the following:- Professional Guide - Accredited - Tour Guides Australia - I am not allowed to do tours within the Opera house but can do outside the theatres

Overview of your Sydney tour

Newtown is one of my favourite places to go in Sydney. Not a place tourists usually go to it's one of the hippest, coolest suburbs that's for sure. Unlike the Sydney CBD, Newtown has a flavour all of its own. It's boho eccentric vibe, multitude of vintage shops, Victorian Style architecture, Street Art and of course it's diverse range of cuisine makes it the perfect melting pot to feast with all your senses - see, hear, feel, smell and of course taste some of Australia's classic faves as well as interesting additions from all around the world. You'll enjoy treats hand picked by me that cater to all, whether you're a meat eater, vegetarian or vegan, I have you covered. You'll get to taste yummy must-tries like savoury pies to dishes uniquely Australian - Vegemite on toast anyone? Savour the tastes of vegan delights, Egyptian street food, Vietnamese and Thai favourites, fusion foods and lots more. This tour will have your mouth watering and your tummy full. And what better way to end but with a beer!

This was the best food based tour that my wife and I have experienced, by far! Robyn picked us up at our hotel and we headed off to Newtown, a delightful and very trendy neighborhood in Sydney. As we walked from restaurant to restaurant Robyn recounted the history of this area beginning with the indigenous people through the development of what has become a center for young, hip, and accepting community. We sampled several unique dishes from equally unique restaurants including: Tokyo Taco (my favorite), Lamingtons, and Cafe Newtonian among others. Incredible craftsmanship in food preparation in every place. Then off to the new Sydney Fish Market for the freshest seafood in the city. We shared a meal of prawns, Pacific Oysters, and Sashimi Tacos outside on the sun drenched deck. Fantastic. Highly recommend Robyn and this tour!

A fascinating tour of street art and local specialties! Newtown is close enough to downtown Sydney to be convenient and yet is well off the beaten path. Robyn brought the area to life with tales of local culture and quirky residents. Generous amounts of food too.

Robyn did a fantastic job telling us all about the Newtown history and showing us the cool art that has been painted on many buildings in the community. We stopped at so many great places to try different food tastings, it was a good thing we had to walk between stops otherwise we would have been too full! All in all a great tour and a fantastic guide to spend the time with!
