Paul first landed in Australia in ‘87 and vowed he’d return for good. He did. With an explorer’s heart and a historian’s depth, Paul makes the past feel alive and the present a joy. He’s a true gentleman with a big heart (and a big dog named Bailey). Expect warmth, wisdom, and a stroll through time.
Melani’s got sunshine in her step and detail in her DNA. A former EA with a global outlook and a Sydney heart, she crafts experiences that flow like a great playlist. Equal parts calm and curious, she’s all about ease, connection, and joyful discovery—plus a love of puppies, Pilates, and good conversation.
Peter—also known as Pete—is the kind of host who makes you feel like you’ve known him forever. With over three decades of experience, Greek roots, and an encyclopedic knowledge of Sydney (especially its sporting history), he brings heart, humour, and incredible local insight to every experience.
What our clients say
“Splendour Tailored Tours was absolutely fantastic. The bespoke, personal, unique tours were truly phenomenal. My family and I loved our time doing fun excursions and experiencing Sydney with a local, as a local. I highly recommend Splendour. The care, friendliness and professionalism was top notch. Can’t wait to come back to Sydney again and I will certainly incorporate more fun excursions and tours, perhaps a cooking class or gastronomy tour with Splendour.”
