Our joy for travel Unforgettable Sydney tour experiences

G’day it’s Scott here, local Sydney tour guide and owner of Your Sydney Guide. As a passionate adventurer who thrives on discovering new destinations I truly believe that travel is one of life’s best investments. I have travelled through the UK, Europe, North America, The Pacific and many parts of Asia, including guiding several snow tours into the deep powder of Japan. I love exploring my own backyard of Sydney and beyond and have travelled through Australia, from the stunning scenery of Tasmania to the crystal waters of Far North Queensland. It’s this same joy for travel that motivates every tour we run, and revealing the real Sydney to our guests in a friendly, relaxed, attentive style is what Your Sydney Guide is all about.

With a background as both an adventure guide and IATG accredited Sydney Tour Guide I launched my own boutique tour business to deliver a fresh alternative to Sydney visitors. Your Sydney Guide offers exceptional private Sydney tours that are fully personalised to our customers requirements. Tours are tailored to be as active or as relaxed as you are with pace and itinerary adjusted to suit. Whatever your style and interests, you can be assured that you will be given an incredible tour experience and an attention to detail that will be a highlight of your Sydney visit.
