Andrew Sorokin - Sydney Private Tour Guide

Welcome to Sydney!

Hi, I am Andrew Sorokin, the founder of Sydney Private Guided Tours. Over the last 20 years, my team and I have hosted thousands of guests from all over the world. We know that planning a trip to Australia can be overwhelming, so we have gathered the most common questions below to help you plan your perfect holiday. If you can't find your answer here, just send me an email!

Are your tours completely private or will we share the bus with strangers?
All our standard tours are 100% strictly private. We never mix groups. The luxury vehicle and your expert local guide are dedicated exclusively to you, your family, or your friends, ensuring a true VIP experience where you set the pace.
Do you charge per person or per vehicle?
Unlike most big bus companies, we offer honest per-vehicle pricing starting from $600 AUD. This means you pay a flat rate for the private use of our luxury vehicle and guide. For families and groups, this is often up to 40% cheaper than buying standard per-person tickets!
Can we customize our itinerary?
Absolutely! While we offer over 30 signature itineraries (the largest selection in Sydney), they are completely flexible. Because the tour is private, you can spend more time at places you love, skip the ones you don't, or ask your guide to show you our secret local spots.
Where do your tours start? Do you offer hotel or airport pick-up?
We offer seamless door-to-door service. We will pick you up directly from your Sydney CBD hotel, the Cruise Ship Terminal, or even the Sydney Airport. Just let us know your location when booking, and we handle the rest.
How much experience do your tour guides have?
Sydney Private Guided Tours was established in 2006. Our team brings over 20 years of professional local guiding experience. We don't read from scripts; we are passionate storytellers who love sharing Australia's rich history, nature, and culture.
Are meals and attraction tickets included in the price?
To keep our base prices fair and give you maximum flexibility, meals and third-party attraction tickets (like zoo entry or boat cruises) are not included. However, we provide complimentary bottled water in the car, and our guides know the absolute best local restaurants and cafes to suit your taste and budget. We can also help arrange discounted attraction tickets!
Do you provide child seats?
Yes! We are a very family-friendly company. We provide up to two baby or booster seats absolutely FREE of charge. Please make sure to request them during the booking process so we can install them before picking you up.
