What to expect
You'll receive a quick questionnaire within 24 hours of booking. Your answers help pair you with a like-minded local who then gets in touch to sketch out a rough plan. You two agree on a meeting time and spot—your hotel or a central location. Then it's a walking experience through Sydney's pockets: hip inner-city streets, beach strips, parkland trails, or major landmarks depending on what appeals to you. Your host leads the way, shares their knowledge, and adapts the route if you want to linger somewhere or skip ahead. Public transport and private taxis are options if your legs need a break.
