What to expect
After booking, you'll answer questions about your interests so your host can be paired thoughtfully. They'll contact you directly to sketch an itinerary and confirm meeting details. On the day, you'll walk the Rocks—a tight grid of heritage streets and sandstone terraces—and explore Darling Harbour's waterfront. Your guide will point out architectural details and local stories, and you'll stop for a drink at a historic pub. The pace is yours; if something catches your eye, spend longer there. If you'd rather use transport between spots, your host can arrange it.
