Discover the richness of Sydney’s diverse art scene on this privately guided day tour. With curated access to some of the city’s most inspiring galleries, this experience offers a thoughtful introduction to Australia’s creative voices — from modern urban makers to traditional First Nations artists. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply curious, this is a relaxed and engaging way to explore Sydney through its art.

Suggested but highly flexible itinerary:

Your day begins with pick-up from your hotel and an introduction to Sydney’s creative landscape. From there, your Localing Host will guide you through a curated series of galleries across the city and inner suburbs. Depending on the day and exhibitions on show, these may include contemporary art spaces, galleries focused on Indigenous works, or institutions known for their sculptural and ceremonial collections.

Some venues highlight bold, experimental works by emerging artists. Others celebrate the intricate styles, symbols and storytelling traditions of Australia’s First Nations communities. You may find yourself in a quiet space tucked down a laneway or inside a heritage-listed building housing one of Sydney’s more prominent collections.

At each gallery, you’ll have time to engage with the works on display, chat with gallery staff, and ask questions. In many cases, you’ll also have the opportunity to purchase artworks — a meaningful way to take home a piece of Australia.

The tour includes a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant, offering the chance to reflect on the morning and enjoy Sydney’s culinary creativity. For guests with a deeper interest in collecting, we can also arrange for respected local art expert Fiona McIntosh to join the experience, offering context, insight, and support with any potential acquisitions.
