It's a pleasure to connect with you through ToursByLocals. As a certified NSW National Parks EcoPass guide, I specialise in showcasing Sydney's natural beauty. From the Northern Beaches to the Blue Mountains, I offer tailored tours that immerse you in the landscapes and wildlife of our stunning region, whilst escaping the crowds from the bus tours. As a Sydney local I know the secret spots and lookouts that us locals like to keep secret, but I love to share them with our visitors. Beyond guiding, I work as a volunteer wildlife rescuer for WIRES, Australia's largest wildlife rescue organization. This allows me to share fascinating insights about our native animals and marine life during our tours. When I'm not on tour, I bring over a decade of experience in the travel and tourism industry, including a tenure at Tourism Australia. I also work as a sustainable tourism trainer, helping businesses and individuals adopt environmentally responsible practices. For your comfort and safety, I provide two vehicles: a luxury Toyota Landcruiser Prado and a VW Caravelle for larger groups, accommodating 1 to 8 guests on private tours. Looking forward to sharing the wonders of Sydney with you!

Overview of your Sydney tour
Come on an immersive journey Sydney's sights and First Nations culture. Beginning with a 2. 5 km walk up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, take in the stunning vista out to the Pacific Ocean, and back across Palm Beach. *If you prefer not to hike, we can adjust this to sight seeing* We are often fortunate to see a Humpback Whale or two, from the spectacular lookout. Learn about the Worlds oldest living culture as we join an Aboriginal guide from a local business Bush to Bowl for an immersive walk in Narrabeen, exploring Bush Tucker and the medicinal uses of the local flora and fauna in the Northern Beaches. Feeling hungry after all of that BushTucker? Lunch is our next stop at the beautiful Harbord Diggers where there is a selection of cuisines on offer. Modern Australian, Asian Fusion, Italian, and Seafood, I'm sure there will be a dish to suit, whilst breathing in the salty air of South Curl Curl Beach. After lunch we head back to your accommodation for drop-off, learning more about Sydney as we travel.
