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 38 years and now call it home, therefore I am now known as a Sydneysider! I have a Degree in Business Studies majoring in Hotel Management and Tourism. I have worked in the hospitality and tourism industry my whole working life. For the last 15 years I have been blessed with the constant buzz of enjoyment from guiding and introducing both international and domestic 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 the City of 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 really understand that desire of a visitor to any new city to quickly grasp 'the feel' of the place, to seek out the real sightseeing highlights and where the locals are eating, drinking, shopping and enjoying themselves. My interests include Wine and Food (in that order!), 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 of Sydney's inner city precincts, offering personalised suggestions for sightseeing and dining options for the duration of your stay in Sydney. Would you prefer an extended overview of those hip inner city neighbourhoods and their happening food and drink scene? There is my five hour tour option that includes opportunities to meet with the operators of businesses and sample their food and drink products that have made them popular with the locals. 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, then my Scintillating Sydney tour is for you. Choose from either the four hour or full day option. Further afield there are wonderful full day tours to either the beautiful Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley wine country or the Coastal and Hinterland regions south of Sydney to consider booking. For those eager to see the capital city of Australia, Canberra, then my two day & one night tour could appeal. 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! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, now book a tour so I can show you how my Sydney sparkles everyday!

Overview of your Sydney tour

Sydney is a spectacular city with incredible vistas, unique history and a contemporary vibe. It's simply a scintillating city! I fell in love with the city when I moved here 37 years ago and now its such a great pleasure to show visitors my Sydney. Do you want more than my half day tour to take it all in? Then my full day (8 hours) guided driving tour of the Greater Scintillating Sydney region will definitely be the answer. On completion of my half-day morning tour and with time for a lunch break at a local cafe or restaurant, the tour continues following the harbour's natural contours on its northern flank to cosmopolitan Manly, the first of many northern suburb beaches. We then drive a gorgeous loop route through more northern beach areas, home to very expensive real estate and unbelievable natural scenery before we return to the city via inner suburbs located amongst Sydney Harbour inlets. By tours end you will have been 'fully scintillated' by Sydney's beauty, its history, and its modern-day charm

Your Sydney tour itinerary

- Meet at your Sydney City hotel or international cruise ship terminals. - Following the itinerary of my four-hour tour during the morning, we enjoy a lunch break at either Bondi Beach, Sydney Fish Market or at Balmoral, an exclusive inner northern harbour suburb. - Georges Head and North Head sightseeing points provide more great photo opportunities to capture Sydney Harbour, its spectacular entrance from the Pacific Ocean and the city of Sydney at its very best! - Drive to Manly surf beach and then along Northern Suburb Beaches coastal route with free time at secluded Palm Beach to enjoy its incredible real estate perched on cliffs overlooking beautiful ocean beaches. - Return to the city via a drive through the enchanting Ku-ring-gai National Park and then the stylish inner northern suburbs located on the edges of many of the harbour inlets. - Drive back to either your hotel, your cruise ship terminals or an agreed drop off point in the city centre.
