G'day ! My name is Kunal and I'm a 'tourist at heart, on the journey of life'. I have been living in Sydney for over 17 years and have also lived in a few other countries in Asia before I moved here. Everywhere I have lived, I have 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. For 17 years 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. Hence think of me as a 'local tourist' of Sydney ! 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 done countless tours of Sydney, Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains and also walking food tours in suburbs like Parramatta, Chinatown, Barangaroo and The Rocks. I'd love to take you 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 the tricks of the trade on my photo tour. 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. Quite frankly, if you are not happy with my tour(s) for any legitimate reason, I will give you your money back. Hows that, for putting customer satisfaction above anything else ?! 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 - Affiliate member of IATG - Drivers Authority issued by NSW Road Transport Authority - MR Driving Licence (can drive a coach) - First Aid Certificate, 2018 - Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) licence - Bachelor of Science (Math)

A 3-4 hour tour on which you will get tips on how to get Instagram quality photos, using the principles of good photography and making the most out of your iPhone camera. With some easy tips on how to take your pics from good to great. Ideally I prefer those with an iPhone but if you have an Android phone some of the tips equally apply. I will also teach you how to do macro photography with your phone camera and provide a FREE lens kit for your phone. Now, you may ask, "so what will I get to shoot?". That's for your to decide, based on your preferences. I can do different photo tours based around the following themes, though their times might vary : 1. Flora and nature 2. Architecture of Sydney 3. Beaches/Coastal Walks 4. Urban 5. Customised Photography is not what you see through the camera, it's what you first see in your mind. Photography is also said to be 'the art of subtraction". It's not how much you put into a frame, but rather how much you leave out !
A detailed itinerary will be planned based on the photo theme chosen, season, weather and time of day. To give you some idea, the 'Urban' photo theme will cover a walk around Circular Quay with photo opportunities of The Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Opera House, Hyde Park and a walk through the streets of Sydney. For a nature/flora based theme, we will visit the beautifully manicured Royal Botanic Gardens, photograph some of the oldest trees in Sydney around Mrs Macquaries Point and marvel at the seasonal flora all over Sydney. If you love architecture, join me to admire the Town Hall, QVB, St Mary's Cathedral , the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and some of the other significant buildings of Sydney. Or get stunning views of our coastal sandstone and beaches as we do a Bondi to Coogee walk or The Spit to Manly walk. Write to me and let me know your interests and I will design a tour based on your brief.
