Blue Mountains + Wildlife Park

G'day ! My name is Kunal (aka koala !) and I'm a 'tourist at heart, on the journey of life'. I have been living in Sydney for over 20 years and have also lived in a few other countries in Asia before I moved here. In all the places I have lived, I lived like a 'tourist', with a passionate curiosity to explore and learn more about the local culture, history, food, architecture and all the other 'inside' knowledge about the city. Since two decades, I have been discovering this amazing and beautiful city of Sydney just like a tourist, so much so that I now know more than many a local and would love to share it with you. I create fun, personalised and memorable tours that go beyond the 'guidebook'. Before I turned to professional tour guiding, I have had an extensive career in the world of advertising, as a creative strategist. Whilst developing stories and campaign ideas for global and local brands, I have cultivated a deep understanding of people and interacted with a diverse multi-cultural profile. I have received over 500 hundred 5 Star reviews during my career as a guide and even made some friends for life. I'd love to take you in and around Sydney, whether it's half a day you have or a full one. Whether you wish to walk, drive or go by boat ! Something else I am hugely passionate about is capturing anything that looks photogenic. I believe beauty is all around us, as long as we are mindful enough to notice it. It's not what you look at, but what you see ! Although I was an addict of my Nikon D90, these days I manage to get some great pictures from my iPhone and it's so easy to carry everywhere you go. I know how to get the best out of your iPhone camera and would be more than happy to share some cool ways of getting some fab photos. I am also very open to developing a bespoke tour for you if you have any particular preferences in mind. I love the outdoors and nature, love all things food and drink, fluent with the history and culture of Australia and have a strong affinity for 'everyday beauty'. I am a fun loving, highly personable guy with a good sense of humour and there will not be a boring moment with me. Check out some of my tour reviews :-) Thanks for taking the time to read my bio, I look forward to hearing from you and the opportunity to share the city I love :-) - Certificate IV in Tour Guiding from TAFE Ultimo (the most awarded Travel and Tourism vocational institute in Sydney) - Drivers Authority issued by NSW Road Transport Authority - MR Driving Licence (can drive a coach) - First Aid Certificate - Bachelor of Science (Math)
