Enjoy Sydney with a Local

Published on Jan, 2024

We were pleasantly surprised to hop on a ferry to visit local beaches and. See great views of Sydney. Walking through the Rocks showed us sights we were unaware and walking ON the Bridge was a Much better option than climbing! We enjoyed a pleasant experience with our local...Thank You, Olivia!

Jewish Sydney

Published on Dec, 2019

Darryll was our tour guide for this unique experience. She too us to the Sydney Jewish Museum and both before and after, filled us in on the history of Australia and how the Jewish community got started and has thrived to this very day. She also took us to Bondi Beach and surrounding neighborhoods to one of the beautiful synagogues and toured us around. Finally, she took us to Our Big Kitchen after telling us the history of this amazing inter-generational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic organization. We now feel we have a greater understanding of how our own culture thrives in Australia! Darryll was amazing!
