About this experience

G'day I am your local host, Jennifer.

We pay our respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal clans, who have resided on this land on which we live and work for thousands of years before us.

This can be booked as a private tour for your group.

Join me on a fun filled 3 hour tour, walking, talking and driving through the hidden gems of the area. We hop in and out of the car to get the best views whilst hearing local history & interesting facts.

We drive through the luxurious residential areas on the harbour foreshore which is home to some of the most expensive real estate in Sydney.

After the tour I can drop you off in Bondi to shop in the eclectic streets that the locals love. Have a swim at famous Bondi Beach. Catch a glimpse of the TV show stars of "Bondi Rescue" if you are lucky.
Enjoy lunch at the Icebergs Ocean Pool, and continue on to the scenic coastal walk.
Option to return you to the Ferry Wharf where we began.

"Live Like a Local with us and go where the buses can't go"
