G'day! My name is Sally, a proud, passionate Sydneysider, who would love to share the real Sydney with you. So why tour with me? I will create your perfect tour, sharing the iconic places and hidden gems, creating wonderful memories of your time in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Let me convince you why I am the right guide for you! I was born in Sydney and have lived on the stunning Northern Shore of our harbour city for my whole life. I am passionate about travel and meeting new people. While new to ToursByLocals, I have extensive travel and guiding experience in Australia and many other countries. So I know what makes an exceptional tour, and can’t wait to share my beautiful Sydney with you. I studied history and archeology in my BA at the University of Sydney. I will share our local Aboriginal, colonial and modern history with you, as well as the essential sights of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. I will immerse you in the local culture, show you the natural beauty of our harbour, beaches, bush and mountains, and our iconic architecture such as the Sydney Opera House and Quay Quarter Tower. We will visit unique Australian animals, the cute, cuddly, dangerous and scary, and share our celebrated fresh and delicious cuisine, complemented by world class local wines. I will entertain you with our stories, show you unusual places which are off the beaten track, and answer your questions about our culture and living in our city. All my tours can be customized for your desires, so please reach out to me with your interests or your walking ability, and we will work together to design the perfect tour for you and your family. There are so many activities we can include if they interest you. You could take a backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House, climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, walk above Sydney on the Skywalk, cruise the harbour, walk through a National Park, take a surf lesson, shop at local and international fashion boutiques or visit Blue Mountains Scenic World. For cruise ship visitors, you will be back to your ship on time, every time. I look forward to meeting you and sharing my wonderful Sydney with you. Please reach out to me with any questions.

Growing up in Sydney has given me a deep connection to and pride in Sydney’s charm. The blend of diverse cultures, buzzing food scenes, and laid back beach lifestyle becomes part of who you are.

Then it’s up Macquarie Street, full of stories about Sydney’s colonial heritage, to Hyde Park, the cathedral,the Queen Victoria Building, Strand Arcade & Angel Place.
