Travel has been my passion and occupation for the last 30 years. After finishing school, I embarked on a trip to Europe and the travel bug bit me hard. On returning home, I gave up my university entry to study languages and instead joined the national airline. When it was time to be a mum, I opened my own travel agency, which I successfully operated for 20 years. I did many travel courses and lots of travel too! Now I am an authorised driver guide in the beautiful city of Sydney. For me travel is an experience to be savoured by all your senses. I want my visitors to get a strong sense of what it is like to live and play in this harbour city and so besides visiting the icons, we venture to magnificent harbour parks, where locals hang out so often you can get to engage with them. I love the blend of cultures and traditions in Sydney and in celebration of that, I offer a Jewish Heritage Tour of Sydney. Travel is an experience to be savoured so the fragrant memory of a special day lingers on.

Overview of your Sydney tour

Perfect for people with limited time, this tour whisks you around, taking in the highlights of the city and its beaches, first by foot and then from the comfort of a private car. We start by traveling back in time through Sydney's colonial past in The Rocks. Walking through Circular Quay to the famed Opera House, we'll pass time in the Royal Botanic Gardens to the vantage point of vantage points - Mrs Macquarie's Chair. Escaping the humidity, we'll drive on to Bondi - Sydney's closest stretch of sand and water, and finally to Darling Harbour - a waterfront leisure precinct that throbs with activity day and night. This is the abridged way to take in as much city and harbour as possible!

We enjoyed Daryl's Tour of Sydney very much. She is an extremely nice person and very knowledgeable . She was also very helpful in accomodating the touring schedule to my physical shortcoming in terms of walking. As a result of the tour with Daryl we are in love with Sydney.

Darryl was very invested in making sure that everything was proceeding well after the initial booking. Once the tour date approached, she reached out to verify time and place to meet. The morning of the tour she reconfirmed all info. Upon picking us up, she laid out our itinerary and asked what we wanted. Her knowledge of Sydney was exceptional and she took us places that no tour would have. We highly recommend Darryl if you want a 5 star tour of Sydney ! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR TOUR.

We were thrilled with our tour with Darryl. We had been in Sydney for two days and had done some of the major attractions. Darryl focused on the different neighborhoods and lesser known sights and gave us a sense of what it would be like to actually live in Sydney. She is very knowledgeable and, as important, it is very easy to spend the day with her. Also, a great choice for lunch that we would not have found.
