About 24 Hours In Sydney
Small group tours, told by locals who love this city.
Our Story
24 Hours In Sydney was born from a simple belief: the best way to experience a city is through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. We're not a big bus tour operator. We're a small, passionate team of Sydney locals who have spent years uncovering the hidden stories, secret bars, and overlooked gems that make this city extraordinary. Every tour we run is capped at 6 guests — because we believe great experiences don't scale, they deepen.
Meet Our Local Experts
Every tour is guided personally by a passionate Sydneysider.
John Pastor
Founder & Sydney Tour Guide
Born and raised on Sydney's doorstep, John has spent over 25 years uncovering the laneways, hidden bars and stories most visitors — and most locals — never find. Before launching 24 Hours In Sydney, he ran tours as a partner with Urban Adventures, learning firsthand that the best experiences aren't the big bus tours, they're the small, personal ones. Every 24 Hours In Sydney tour is capped at 6 guests, guided by John himself, with a healthy dose of Sydney humour thrown in. He's the guy locals call the 'Sydney Adventure Guru,' and he still gets a kick out of watching a group discover a secret bar for the first time.
