Secrets of the Southern Highlands Tour

Hi, my name is Rohan and I am a Melburnian by birth (I originate from Melbourne) who happens to have lived in Sydney for the past 39 years. I now call Sydney home and therefore 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 that comes from guiding and introducing visitors to all the captivating aspects of Sydney's daily life. As an inner-city resident who loves exploring the streets by foot, I have acquired a great understanding of where it's happening in Sydney and what's hot and what's not. Couple that with an extensive knowledge of interesting historical facts and figures about Sydney life and I am your walking-talking-guiding concierge! I have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively in my own country and around the world and intend to keep doing so for as long as I'm capable! As a seasoned traveller, I understand the 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. 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 the 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 the gorgeous natural beauty and breathtaking architecture of Sydney that interests you (think the Opera House, think Sydney's spectacular harbour, think Bondi Beach), 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 introduction to some of Sydney's hip inner-city neighbourhoods and their happening food and drink scene, then my five-hour Fabulous food tour could be enticing. This tour includes opportunities to visit small businesses and providores and sample the artisanal food and drink products that have made them hugely popular with locals. Further afield, there are wonderful full day tours to either the naturally captivating Northern beaches, the beautiful Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley wine country, or the Coastal and Hinterland regions south of Sydney to choose from. For visitors who are captivated by our unique wildlife but short on time, I offer a quick tour to our famous Australian Reptile Park. You will have ample time to admire an array of amazing Aussie animals and reptiles and then be back in Sydney and free to explore on your own again by lunchtime. For avid sports fans, you can even experience our unique Australian football competition! From March to August each year I offer a tour opportunity to enjoy a live Aussie Rules football game and get 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!
