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!

Do you enjoy an extended day touring that captures stunning coastal scenery, mountainous hinterland with breathtaking waterfalls, and picture-perfect farming communities? Yes! Then my full-day tour of the sumptuous South Coast and adjoining hinterland is definitely worth experiencing. Visit the second oldest National Park in the world after Yellowstone, quaint seaside villages perched on dramatic sea cliffs or picture-perfect beachfronts. Visit a natural blustering ocean blowhole! We venture inland to a historic township for lunch and a stroll through eclectic shops before wine tasting at a local cellar door to invigorate the taste buds! Then it's an awesome drive into the hinterland of Kangaroo Valley before reaching the spectacular Fitzroy Falls. Enjoy a bush walk to witness the waterfalls from different vantage points before we return to Sydney via gorgeous Southern Highland farming communities. By tour's end, you will have been captivated by the sumptuous South Coast and Southern Highlands.
Rohan’s knowledge of history, geography and geopolitical issues was incredible. The day was amazing. TBL professionals are always great but he was top notch.
The only thing wrong with our tour was way out of Rohan’s control, the weather didn’t want to collaborate, but we had a blast, we laughed our entire time, Rohan’s knowledge of history, dates and personalities is impressive. The rest was very interesting and or good the food stop in a nice local pub. You can’t go wrong with Rohan.
This was a very interesting tour but also lots of fun.We saw lots of different things-the native animals, a blowhole and waterfall ,different NSW communities and we even went to a winery(which was very good).Rohan brought us coffee,hot cross buns and Tim tams-much appreciated. A wonderful day out in Australia.
Our party of 6 have just completed a tour with Rohan, and we nothing but outstanding comments. Rohan was available at 7:30 am on January 1st, to begin our adventure to explore the South Coast around Sydney. Rohan had a great blend of history and personal insight into Sydney and Austrlaia and you could easily see his loved in sharing his passion for Australia with us. We would have loved to had him continue our trip with for his knowledge and highly recommend everyone to consider him for future trips.
Rohan was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge and the ability to find less crowded places so that one could truly enjoy the Australian experience. He knows delicious cafes and restaurants that were not tourist traps. I definitely would seek out Rohan when I return to this part of the world.
