Hi, my name is Rohan and I am a Melburnian by birth (originate from Melbourne) who happens to have lived in Sydney for the past 39 years and now call it home. Therefore I am a Sydneysider! I have a Degree in Business Studies majoring in Hotel Management and Tourism and have worked in the hospitality and tourism industry my whole working life. For the last 16 years I have been blessed with the constant buzz of enjoyment from guiding and introducing visitors to all the captivating aspects of Sydney's daily life. As an inner city resident I have loved '"pounding the pavement", exploring the streets by foot and have acquired a great understanding of where it's happening and what's hot and what's not in Sydney! Couple that with an extensive knowledge of interesting historical facts and figures of everyday Sydney life, I am your walking talking guiding concierge! I have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively in my own country, and around the world for both work and leisure and intend to keep doing so until I am no longer capable of doing so! As a seasoned traveller I understand that desire of a visitor to quickly grasp 'the feel' of a new city, to seek out the real sightseeing highlights and find out where the locals are eating, drinking and shopping! a My interests include Wine and Food (in that order), Ocean Swimming, Bicycling, Travelling and Aussie Rules (a quirky form of football played in only in Australia). What is my idea of the perfect day? It would start with a bike ride to Bondi Beach, a morning ocean swim followed by a strong coffee and then guiding visitors through the pleasures and treasures of Sydney life. To finish the day, a meal in a local eatery accompanied by a glass of Hunter Valley Semillon or Shiraz, followed by an evening walk through a local inner city neighbourhood to see what's new and exciting. With an obligatory stop at a gelato bar! My tour offerings include a walking tour through some of city's inner city precincts, offering personalised suggestions for further sightseeing and dining options for the duration of your stay in Sydney. If it is simply the beauty of Sydney itself, settled upon one of the world's most gorgeous harbours with breathtaking architecture, think Opera House, and a stunning array of beach suburbs to visit, think Bondi, then my Scintillating Sydney tour is for you. You can choose from either my half day four hour tour or my full day tour option. If you would prefer an extended overview of some hip inner city neighbourhoods and their happening food and drink scene, then my five hour fabulous food tour option that includes opportunities to visit small businesses and sample their food and drink products that have made them popular with the locals could be enticing. Further afield there are wonderful full day tours to either the naturally captivating Northern beaches of Sydney, the beautiful Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley wine country, or the Coastal and Hinterland regions south of Sydney that you can choose from. For visitors captivated by our unique wildlife but are short of time, I am now offering a new quick tour to our famous Australian Reptile Park. You will have ample time to get up close and personally pat a koala, hand feed kangaroos and see an array of other Aussie animals. For avid sports fans, you can even experience our uniquely Australian football competition! From March to August each year I offer a tour opportunity to enjoy a live Aussie Rules Football Game up close and personal with Aussie footballers, rather than Aussie animals! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, now book a tour so I can show you how my Sydney sparkles everyday! Public Passenger Driver Authority IATG Accredited Tour Guide St Johns Ambulance First Aid Certification Degree in Business Studies (Majoring in Hotel Management & Tourism) I have no restrictions in my guiding services and can offer a full range of experiences

Overview of your Sydney tour

Do you love learning about how and why specific regions of a country evolved? Do you have a love of all things wine or simply the stunning countryside of wineries? I do too! So join me on my full-day historical Hunter Valley tour to learn how winemaking first got started in Australia in the Hunter Valley. There are amazing varieties of wine that are famous to the Hunter, to discover and taste throughout the whole day as we travel amongst picturesque vineyard settings, stopping at a variety of boutique and mainstream winery cellar doors for wine tasting. Lunch can be a choice of either a local cafe or restaurant and there are also gourmet food producers, (think cheese and chocolate) to visit and indulge in too! We can return to Sydney via a unique 'convict era' built road allowing more time to enjoy the beautiful countryside, albeit with the tinkling of wine bottle purchases as background music to our ears! By tour end you will know your Hunter Semillon from your Hunter Verdelho from your Hunter Shiraz!
