QUESTIONS
-
I create personalised, day-by-day itineraries for visitors to Sydney. Each one is built from scratch around your interests, travel style, pace, dates and the people you are travelling with.
-
Start by getting in touch through the website. I’ll then send you a short questionnaire so I can learn more about your trip, followed by a conversation to discuss your plans and priorities. Once you choose your tier, I create your itinerary.
-
With The Blueprint, I create the full itinerary and provide the recommendations, suggested timings and practical booking details. You make the bookings.
With The Curated Journey, I do all of that and also make the bookable reservations and coordinate the key details for you. -
With The Curated Journey, I will book the itinerary elements that can be reserved, including restaurants, experiences and other key arrangements. Some of Sydney’s best places are walk-in only or do not take advance bookings, so I will always make that clear and give you the best plan for those moments too.
With The Blueprint, I provide the information and booking details so you can book directly. -
Yes. This can be arranged as an additional concierge service, depending on what you need. Get in touch and we can discuss the details of your trip.
-
Absolutely. If you have already booked accommodation, restaurants, tickets or experiences, I will build the itinerary around them. Just include the details in your questionnaire.
-
Yes. Whether you are travelling with children, have dietary requirements, accessibility needs or particular interests, tell me in the questionnaire I send after you get in touch. Those details are part of what makes the itinerary feel right for you.
-
Curated Sydney’s fee covers the planning and, with The Curated Journey, the booking coordination. The cost of accommodation, dining, experiences, transport and any other supplier charges is separate. I can provide concierge services to help with your accomodation, flights and transport.
-
How it works:
• Once we have agreed your plans, I send one secure invoice showing The Curated Journey planning fee and an agreed booking budget.
• I make the approved bookings and provide a clear itinerary with confirmations and an itemised statement.
• Any unused booking budget is refunded to you within seven business days of the final booking.
Booking terms
I will confirm the price and cancellation terms before making any prepaid or non-refundable booking, and I will get your written approval first. Supplier cancellation or no-show charges are deducted from the booking budget. Some hotels and suppliers may require payment directly from the traveller.
-
Every trip is different. My fee depends on the length and scope of your journey, where you’re going and the level of support you’d like. Once we’ve spoken about your plans, I’ll send you a clear proposal before we begin.
-
Yes. For guests who would like an even more personalised experience, I can host a private, tailored day or part-day in Sydney, built around your interests. This is an additional concierge service, priced separately, and can be discussed when we plan your trip.
-
Yes. Sydney may be the beginning of your trip, but it doesn’t have to be the end. I can add Australia and New Zealand extensions to a Sydney itinerary, from a few extra days to a larger trip, quoted individually once I know the full scope.
-
Curated Sydney is focused on Sydney with Australia and New Zealand extensions. If your trip does not include Australia and/or New Zealand, I am probably not the right fit — I would rather be genuinely useful in the places I know best.
