If you’re a Home and Away fan, I honestly can’t recommend the CelebTime Tour enough!

We did the CelebTime tour for the first time last Tuesday and loved it so much we went back again on Sunday.

On Tuesday, our tour guide Naida made the experience unforgettable. Her bubbly personality and passion for the show shone through as she shared behind the scenes stories and fun facts. We visited iconic filming locations and were lucky enough to watch, from a respectful distance, Leah, Justin, Marilyn, Eden and Cash filming.

Standing on the sand at ‘Summer Bay’, with my feet in the water, was one of those surreal moments I’d only ever imagined. 📸 I took so many photos of familiar spots seen on the show and created so many memories!

Sunday was just as special. We’d like to say a big “Thank You” to our driver, John, who looked after everyone so well and made sure we got safely from A to B. Halfway through the tour we were joined by Home and Away extra and tour guide Laura, whose enthusiasm, joy and insider stories were absolutely infectious. She brought such a wonderful energy to the day.

And to top it all off, we had the privilege of meeting the beautiful Jacqui Purvis (Flic) who joined us on the bus for half the tour. I can’t say enough, about how special it was for an actor to take the time to join a bus tour and chat so openly with fans. Hubby and I jumped at the opportunity to ask her questions, and she was so generous, warm and obliging. I’ve loved following her filmmaking journey since leaving Home and Away, so meeting her was an absolute highlight, but I miss her vibrant character on the show.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire CelebTime team for creating such an incredible experience. If you’re even remotely a Home and Away fan, put this tour on your bucket list
You won’t regret it!
☀️🎥♥️🌊

What a great experience seeing locations of where my favourite show is made. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the show. Would totally recommend and would like to do it again.

This was my second tour over 7 years. I highly recommend you take this tour. Great bus trip full of history around nsw on the trip to and from. Lots home and away gossip . These ladies went above and beyond to get us closer to the filming. And super excited for us to get our pics with some cast members. They made it a true adventure and very friendly. Just do it. You will love it.

What a fabulous day! Our H&A actress Ziggy aka Sophie Dillman, tour guide Laura & coach driver John were so friendly, shared a plethora of stories & felt like old friends! Fun tour taking in Mona Vale & Palm Beach with all the Summer Bay essentials including The Surf Club, Salt, the diner, Bootcamp & of course the spectacular beach.
Congratulations on a fun filled tour 🙌 Would definitely recommend.

Loved it! 😍
Would have given 5 ⭐️ if it lasted longer, and included a quick stop at the lighthouse.
Naida and Laura were great and had some good stories and information about the show!
Thanx for a great day!
(We left at 6pm, and they were still filming).

I had a great day out in palm Beach and summer bay I'm from Ireland and my 3rd time doing the tour. Tristan was brilliant as was Laura. Also John the bus driver really enjoyed it thanks so much.

Great day out.Jessica(Harper)was really nice and gave everyone her time.She was happy to finally have some people from Huddersfield in the UK on a tour as her dad is from there.

We met Sonny / Ryan , he was very relaxed and shared information regarding his personal life and life on home and away.
Ryan was very respectful, attentive, charming and funny , it felt so surreal to see him in real life .I would definitely go again , and 100 % recommend going if your a home and away fan 👍😊

We had the best time loved the tour highly recommend it, Ryan Bown was amazing and Laura and our bus driver John
It was incredible to be able to see summer bay, can’t wait to go again next time on a Tuesday

Highly recommend. We went on the meet a star tour and met the lovely Ally (Dana). She was so was sweet and very attentive. We then went to Palm beach which was stunning. We loved it so much we booked onto the Tuesday tour and were very lucky to see some filming. It was so interesting to see how it’s filmed. Our tour guide Laura was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. She was very happy to talk to everyone and answer question. Driver John was also
very friendly. Highly recommend this company was a great day out and Laura and John were so lovely and really made the day special. Sarah

Got to see some filming outside ‘The Surf Club’. Also got to meet the one and only Alf Stewart. Really enjoyable if you are a fan

Laura was a fantastic guide, with her insider knowledge of the show. We had a great time watching filming, topped with a photo opportunity with Alf Stewart!

Fantastic day the guest star was very friendly & down to earth & the whole day was perfect.

Whilst in Sydney, this was my favourite tour of those I did during the 5 days I was there. I have watched Home and Away since it was first aired on UK TV and this trip had an actor joining us on the coach. I had no idea who it would be until a couple of days before the trip when I received an email to say that unfortunately, the actor that was due to join us was no longer able to, and in her place, Patrick O'Conner would join us instead. I was so happy about this because he was one of my favourite characters, and all us of on the trip were able to have a photo taken with him and we received a signed picture of him. He was chatty and would answer questions and also ask them of us.
Once he left, a tour guide joined us. She came from the UK and moved to Australia. She is also an extra on the show so I will look out for her. She was lovely, friendly and informative about the location we visited.
It was so nice to see where the show is filmed for surf club and beach scenes etc. I got to sit on John Palmer's beach buggy :-)
The food at the Kiosk was amazing.

Great tour, plenty of time both with the star (we had Jess Redmayne who plays Harper) and at the locations in Palm Beach. We were told that unfortunately there would be no filming but when we got to David's house, filming was in progress so a bonus.

A big thank you for the great tour on Tuesday, 10/2/26. So lovely to meet the gorgeous Brie and learn so much about the show and characters. Great also to have lovely Laura, our tour guide, and an extra on Home n Away, showing us around and sharing with us lots more about the show. Not forgetting our friendly driver, John, who also had some interesting stories to tell.
Hubby was dragged along, he admitted he enjoyed himself. Great group of friendly people on the tour. 100% recommend.
Thank you Celeb Time for a great day!!

Hi all, my wife wanted to share our experience with Celebtime on Tuesday.

We had a great time at Celebtime yesterday! The Home and Away tour was such a fun experience – getting to see the locations up close and hear behind-the-scenes stories! Something I’ve always wanted to do. Meeting Juliet Godwin (Dr Bree) was a highlight, and hearing her stories about her acting and
experience was awesome! You could tell she genuinely loved the show and what she achieved.
Laura (an extra from the show) was also fantastic – so down to earth, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the whole day feel relaxed and personal. We’ll be looking out for her in the background coming up on the show!
The location itself is just gorgeous. The sun was shining and the Northern Beaches were stunning. Even my husband, who says he doesn’t watch home and away (but seems to know A LOT) loved it. It’s not just about the show – it’s great to see the beautiful coastline and enjoy a fun and memorable experience! Highly recommend. Thanks team! ❤️ Aleisha and Grant.

Sadly no filming that Tuesday but we got to meet a former H&A actress and had two hours in Palm Beach, to relax and explore. Our guide Laura was lovely, told us lots of background information. Driver John was also lovely and friendly. Well worth booking 👍

Fabulous Tour and was awesome having Ryan (Sonny) on the bus with us. Tour guide and driver very knowledgeable since they work on the set also. This has been on my bucket list forever!! Watched since it began and don’t plan on stopping soon. Keep the love going for this tour!! Def worth it 🩷🩷

Really enjoyed this tour. The guide was brilliant, funny and informative. We got to meet 2 actors Adam and Ryan who were such gentlemen and patient whilst everyone had their photos taken with them. We also saw Dana, Eden and Levi at a distance being filmed.
We had lunch at the surfclub sat outside with the beautiful views of the beach and the lighthouse at 'Stuart's Point'!
This trip also included a visit to Irene's house which was used for the outside shots.
All in all this is a great trip for any Home and Away fans.

We had an amazing time with Sophie Dillman - she facetimed my niece in South Australia, who loves her! Truly made our day!

This was a fantastic tour with hubby, he is a fan too! To sit on the bus with the actor (Ziggy) was awesome and listening to her true stories of personal life and acting. The driver was safe and nice, and the tour hostess from Mona Vale beach was lovely and very knowledgeable. Thankyou I will return with some girl friends next time!

Experience Bus Ride I paid $260 for my kids and I to get a bus to Palm Beach and hear some spoilers, very disappointing.
We arrived at the bus meeting point fine, hopped on the bus for an hr then when we finally arrived was told they'll be stopping for lunch so we should all have lunch. After lunch we stood around for an hr waiting for filming to start. We got one filming session at the coffee cart for a 5hr day and none of the cast stopped which was pretty disappointing but in their defence we weren't given anything to allow the actors to know we were apart of the tour.
The bus ride up had a video showing celeb meets and everyone had lanyards, which we never received. There was also 2 actors in trailers waiting for scenes who could of come out if it was better organised.
After telling family members about our experience they actually said it sounds like you've been scammed, im just glad this wasn't the only thing I came to Sydney for unlike some people on the tour. Save yourself the money and drive yourself to Palm Beach you'll get the same experience for the price of petrol.

It was an absolutely awesome time spending it with Ziggy, Laura and our wonderful bus driver who was full of knowledge as well.

I had an amazing experience on this tour! Laura the tour guide was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable, as was John the bus driver. The locations were wonderful to see with plenty of opportunities for photos. A must-do for any Home and Away fan!

Jacqui was so sweet. Laura the guide was also very good at her job and answered all the questions.
We've seen some of the places of "summer bay". I think an experience going to the light house would have been nice.

I've done a CelebTime Home and Away tour in Sydney twice now - in December 2022 and again in December 2025. Both tours were on Sunday's where we were able to do meet-and-greets with an actor from the show.
Very well run - great to meet the actor, who didn't mind the bombardment of questions and stayed to take photos and do autographs. Loved going to hot spots where filming had been done. Got to have lunch at Palm Beach aka Summer Bay, where you can purchase merchandise.
The driver and tour guide had plenty of added information!
I would definitely do it again, and would definitely recommend if you're a fan of the show!

Just wanted to say that my daughter and i had the best time on your Home & Away tour yesterday. Laura your tour guide was phenomenal , so lovely , very knowledgeable and great fun. Will go again for sure.

The 'meet an actor' tour was wonderful. My daughter and I met Matt Evans (Theo) He was very personable and inclusive of all ages and abilities.
Laura was a great host and showed everyone some of the places filmed in Home and Away.
John the bus driver was very friendly and knowledgeable.
A very pleasant day!

Our group had a wonderful experience firstly on the bus and then having a look around. Actor “Remi” was absolutely amazing chatting with the group.

The 'Filming Day" Home & Away tour was amazing. The Coach was well presented and modern. Our driver Naida was absolutely amazing. Her ability to communicate with the passengers, her knowledge and enjoyment of her job made our day perfect.
Palm beach experience was better than we imagined it would be with so much filming happening and a surprise photo shoot with one of the actors.
We would strongly recommend doing this tour with CelebTime.

A great day out! Naida was an awesome guide, full of info and made us feel very welcome. We saw some filming and enjoyed the beautiful views.

Awesome tour to Summer Bay. Having Juliet Goodwin (Bree) was amazing she is such a lovely young woman as was Laura who is an extra on the show and our tour guide for the second part of the trip

Amazing!
A well planned experience
Beautiful kind people from john the bus driver to Laura the guide.
We met 'Sonny' a very kind & generous man with his time.
Definitely recommend this tour, it won't disappoint

A wonderful day with Sophie Dillman (Ziggy) and the Celeb Time Team. Loved our driver, Nat's sense of humour.
Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and would love to go again.

I had a great time meeting Ally harris aka dana she is really down to earth and great to hear about her character and i would recommend meeting her 😊

I've been on the tours three times now and it's always a blast. As a tourist from far away, it's great that you can visit the set. The organisers offer different kind of things and I finally was also able to do a filming like set tour which was very lovely. The tour guides are very nice. Palm Beach is also a beautiful place to visit! I definitely would recommend this tour with CelebTime if you are a fan of Home and Away.

EDIT: Since my below review I received a personal call from the owner of the company to apologise for my experience and explain the circumstances. I won’t go into those but there were 2 factors, 1 of which was completely out of their control. More time is normally given at Palm Beach and I don’t believe our experience reflects a typical tour.

If you’re a big fan and want to meet an actor as well as see the location(s) you’ll enjoy it. There are lots of good points but too many downsides to justify the price.

Firstly the actor who joined us, Jess (Harper) was awesome. Super friendly and made time for everyone's photos and requests, even when the tour guide was trying to move her along. Jess was awesome and it was cool to learn how a show like H&A gets made.

It was a shame Jess left the tour after the first stop in Mona Vale. This beach was supposedly the original Summer Bay location although I can’t find anything confirming this. I think the fact the actor leaves the tour before you get to Summer Bay should be clearly noted on the tour description.

Jess was then replaced by a guide named Laura who took over and answered more questions until we got to Palm Beach (Summer Bay). She’s an extra on the show so it was interesting to hear her insight. She was a great guide.

Seeing the iconic beach was very cool but 1 hour and 20 minutes is simply not enough time to see everything and have lunch. The problem is that there are locations from the show at either end of a long beach and the bus stops pretty much in the middle. The lighthouse at one end is an hour round trip walking, so we had no chance of seeing that plus the markets and pier at the other end, as well as spending any time on the beach.

Shortly after leaving Palm Beach Laura was dropped off so we essentially drove back with no tour guide and an old video about H&A left on for us. I didn’t like the fact the tour ended in Manly, forcing us to pay for transport back to the city, but in fairness this was advertised beforehand.

Overall our experience was a 5 1/2 hour tour with about 3 of them spent on the bus. It was great to meet the actor and see the locations but the tour itself could be better.

Absolutely fantastic tour been watching it since it started. They were filming saw Justin Leah Marilyn and Lacey
Got a photo with Lacey . She his so nice.

Highly recommend for any fan. Our actor was bright funny and personable. One on one photos, personalised autographs and all questions answered. The entire crew was amazing, made me feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
Thanks!

A very interesting day seeing locations, watching the filming and meeting one of the actors. Lunch at the Surf Club, an informative tour guide and a paddle in the surf completed a lovely day out at Summer Bay.

Had such a great time on the Home and Away Tour (meet an Actor). We had the stunning Ally Harris (Dana) and she was sooooo lovely. Loved that we got to learn so much more about the show and walk around. Highly recommend food from the Summer Bay Kiosk too! So happy to have finally done the tour.

Great tour, was wonderful to see the actors filming. Tania was a very informative tour guide and a lovely person.

Watched Home and Away religiously from the mid 90s through to the mid 00s so this was always on the list for my brief stay in Sydney. I haven't followed it as closely in recent years but it was still a real buzz to visit Summer Bay.

Donna (tour guide) and Michael (bus driver) did an amazing job with facts about the show and area and it was all very relaxed and an enjoyable experience. The location is stunning and we got to see some behind the scenes filming which was fun.

Something I wasn't expecting was Barrenjoey lighthouse – well worth checking this out on the lunchbreak as it's stunning. Getting dropped off at Manly was deadly too as we were able to take the short ferry back to the city, while taking in the beautiful views.

Had a wonderful time Juliette (Dr Bree Cameron) was amazing. Bit disappointed that the people we booked with, state we were to see the casts houses in the show, bit it is false advertising. Wonderful day out.

I had a fantastic time on the tour of home and away. it was very informative about the locations of where home and away has been filmed over the years. meeting Kyle Shilling was the highlight of the day he was so down to earth and was great at answering everyone's questions.
the tour got changed from a filming tour to an actor's tour i think we should get a chance to change our booking if that happens as i was really wanting to see the filming take place and also meet more actors and actresses. it was a beautiful day thou.

My Aunty was visiting from England and this was on her bucket list. We both love Home and Away, and even though she was flying home today, she was very happy with our day meeting Levi/Tristan yesterday..
The whole day went very smoothly from beginning to end and everyone was really friendly.
I have a friend who would love to do this tour, so maybe another trip for us in October for her 80th.
Thank you.

First time in Sydney with my friends
Was absolutely amazing tour and to have Dr. Levi as our guest was so cool very highly recommended to do if you are in Sydney The whole tour of Palm Beach and sights & even the Ferry from Manly back to circular quay was amazing. So much fun 😎

Absolutely loved our CelebTime tour of the Home and Away locations and meeting an actor tours. The staff were awesome to deal with. The bus drivers were so good and made us feel very safe. They made sure that we were all enjoying ourselves and we would highly recommend any Home and Away fans especially to do these tours! You will not be disappointed. Thank you especially to Paul, Nadia and Donna. You made our days so special. We will definitely be back to come on the tour again, next time we are visiting from the Gold Coast!

I had great time with awful bloody hot weather. My biggest thanks to Ethan accept to chat on line with my partner Sophia along interpreter Alison. Ethan was a good character of Tane. I recommend him will become a very brilliant actor under 2 years. Thank you for meet me again. Regards and Friend Greg

The tour was great everything from getting on the bus. I booked a half a tour which was meeting the actor but not palm Beach as I've done the full tour before, having this option is a good idea

A great day. Steph aka Eden was wonderful and down to earth. She was so enthusiastic meeting us and interactive with our questions.
It was great to see the location of all the main areas of filming. A real must for any Home and Away fans.

Celebtime is the best it’s always a great day on tour with them and meeting an actor. I have been 4 times now. Tanya is very nice and knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we have.

The tour was good just was disappointed no filming even we paid for it and only short notice. They took a video of the whole group but did not get a copy of it or the Foto. An actores came on the bus Ally she plays Dana, which was so good. The timings coming back was so unsure, as we had to catch a plane, catching a ferry and a train, but other then that it was great was awesome to see all filming locations, meet the actores take fotos and get autograph so nice.

Excellent day out, Kirby/Angelina was lovely give everyone so much time. Seeing the locations was so good. Paul the bus driver was friendly and knowledgable. Well worth the money for all home and aways fans!

Was nice scenery. Saw bugger all in regards to the actors. A brief glimpse of a couple of them. And then on the way back in the bus they show you videos of other tours who have had meet and greets and awesome experiences. Great way to rub a crap day of viewing into your face.

Best tour ever Eden was just incredible ,very beautiful person loved every minute of it
