About Me:

Originally from Spain, Fernando founded Best Free Tours Sydney to share his love of history, buildings, and local culture. He guides in English and Spanish and is a natural storyteller on our free Sydney walking tours, especially around The Rocks, Circular Quay, and the State Library of NSW. Travellers searching for a Spanish speaking tour guide in Sydney or a free walking tour en español regularly choose Fernando’s departures.


Fernando’s tours mix architecture, urban stories, and practical tips. He knows the best coffee spots near the harbour, quiet corners of the Royal Botanic Garden, and live music venues that suit different tastes. Many guests use his routes as the perfect first-day Sydney itinerary on foot, then follow his recommendations to keep exploring on their own.


He also leads highly rated private Sydney tours, customising the pace and content for couples, families, and small groups. Popular long-tail requests include a private Sydney architecture tour, a Sydney highlights private tour with Spanish guide, and a family friendly private walking tour in Sydney CBD. Fernando’s attention to detail and easygoing style make bespoke routes feel effortless.


Fernando’s curiosity extends to nature and the night sky, which adds an extra layer to his Blue Mountains day trip from Sydney. Guests enjoy stories of Aboriginal culture around the Three Sisters, scenic viewpoints near Katoomba, and flexible options by car or train. If you want a day that blends landscapes, local lore, and photo-ready stops, Fernando is an ideal host for a private Blue Mountains tour.

We had the absolute pleasure of joining a free tour yesterday with Gay as our guide, and it was phenomenal! Gay brought the city to life with incredible storytelling, fascinating history, and just the right dash of humour. Her passion and knowledge were evident from the start, and she struck the perfect balance between informative and entertaining. We felt so welcomed and engaged throughout - she truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Thank you, Gay, for a fantastic tour! Highly recommend to anyone visiting! 🌟

Had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Gay doing the approximately 2 1/2 hr walking tour of Sydney. We met at Circle Quay area and did a fabulous tour of providing the history of Sydney and people who lived there throughout the years. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and held our attention throughout the morning. We saw different areas of the city that we had not planned on visiting but were glad we did in the small group (15 participants) setting. Highly recommend taking this tour as it gives you a flavor of the city and allows you to choose where you might like to explore more on your own after tour.

The tour was great. Fernando was super nice, and he explained everything very precisely and professionally. Highly recommended, because you get to know the key parts of Sydney. Plus, he gives you informational material and gave us a cute little keychain made by the guy himself! Thank you!!!
