Hi there! I'm Sam, a Sydney local based in Bondi Beach (and gratefully so). I've been a Sydney tour guide for 15 years and feel very fortunate to have been able to show Sydney and her rural neighbours to so many wonderful people from around the world. From solo travellers and families to celebrities and corporate groups, I've created 1000's of memorable experiences for visitors since I began operating (I'm new to ToursByLocals though). Although I grew up in Sydney, I spent 8 years living abroad as a working traveller in Italy, Spain, France, the UK and Canada. It's where my passion for tourism was born and a love for meeting people from all over the globe. When I returned to Sydney I was drawn to the opportunity to give travellers to my home city, similar fun and interesting experiences I had valued so much on my own adventures. I guide my guests like I would guide my own friends, with a friendly laid back style (very Australian in nature) that packs a lot in without you feeling rushed or overwhelmed. With plenty of flexibility to meet your personal interests and preferences, no two tours are the same. I have a special interest in Australian wildlife, The Hunter Valley wine region and Port Stephens. From Sydney half and full day tours to a day trip to the Blue Mountains or Southern Highlands, there is so much to see and do here. It's also lovely to be able to show my guests parts of Sydney most visitors miss when they visit. Sydney has a lot to see and do however there are also plenty of beautiful places to visit outside the city. Let me know what interests you and I will create a day to remember. Some of these activities may include: * Bush Walking in the Blue Mountains * Hot Air Balloon experiences * Sydney Food Tours * Sydney beaches and walking tours * Koala and kangaroo experiences * Fruit picking tours * Glamping Tours * Oyster Farm Tours * Introduction to Sydney half day tours * and many more! Consider an overnight experience! Staying overnight in the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens or Southern Highlands allows you enjoy these regions in depth and take part in unique experiences not available on day trips. Go truffle hunting in the Blue Mountains, ride camels on the largest sand dunes in the southern hemisphere, enjoy an astronomer guided star gazing experience or if you need a plan B, tour an apery in the Southern Highlands! A multi-day experience will really be a trip highlight. I can also create fun day outs for families with children of all ages. Incorporating child friendly activities into a day that also allows the parents to do something they love too results in a fun day out for everyone! Something I often do with my own 2 and 6 year old. Giving tours is a huge passion of mine and I find it extremely rewarding showing my guests my home city and creating an experience they will hopefully treasure for years to come. Send me a message anytime and let me know how I can help make your trip here truly special. Eco Pass accredited operator from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

Overview of your Sydney tour

This full day out is a wonderful way to experience the Hunter Valley for those visiting from abroad. From visiting a wildlife sanctuary with a private 'meet a koala' experience to tasting the Hunter Valley's famous Shiraz and Semillon, this diverse day out may also include cheese tasting and a long vineyard lunch.

Your Sydney tour itinerary

Starting from your hotel we first head to a wildlife sanctuary on the Central Coast. There you will enter a koala breeding habitat where you will have a private, ranger lead, meet a koala experience. A koalaty experience (sorry!) you'll never forget. It's then off to the Hunter Valley, where you will visit small boutique premium vineyards for structured wine tasting of Shiraz, Semillon and Chardonnay (as well as others). You will visit the Hunter Valley Cheese Company, a local dairy that make their own delicious soft cheeses. A day in the Hunter Valley must also include a delicious wine country lunch! With a choice many amazing restaurants to suit all tastes, your tastebuds and stomach will be truly grateful. Along with plenty of history, 'wine chat' and views of the lovely countryside frequented by curious kangaroos, you'll have a really enjoyable day out.
