Overview

Beat the layover blues and make the most of your time in a new city. Tailored to fit your schedule and preferences, you’ll join one of our local Sydney hosts for a personalized experience of their city. Swap airport food for dinner on the promenade or laze on Bondi Beach with all the other beautiful people while you wait. Your whistle-stop excursion will be filled with iconic sights, like the famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Tower, or low-key haunts that city-locals love.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

  • 8 hours with a Local Host (incl travel time)
