What To Expect

Depart from your hotel for a half day exclusive and unforgettable panoramic Sydney small-group experience. On tour with our experienced driver-guides, you will enjoy magnificent views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

We start in the Sydney Old Town and CBD heading east along the shores of Sydney Harbour for breath-taking views over one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world.

Journeying through some of the most exclusive harbourside suburbs of the Eastern Suburbs region we take a break at Watsons Bay and The Gap at the entrance of Sydney Harbour—one of the most captivating panoramic Views in Sydney.

Then it’s on to the famous Bondi Beach where guests can enjoy a stroll along the beachfront promenade, enjoy a tea or coffee (at own expense), and see bronzed Aussie lifesavers.

Returning to the city via Bondi Junction, Centennial Park, Paddington, and Chinatown we pause at Darling Harbour where guests can join our optional harbor lunch cruises. Then driving directly underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge, we finish the tour back in the old town of The Rocks near Circular Quay.

Great start to our visit to Sydney
Karen_W, May 2024
Great tour. I can’t believe we were able to see so much in such a short amount of time. Even though it was raining on and off, our guide, Nigel, was able to take advantage of dry moments to stop and share his extensive knowledge. We learned so much about the area that we could never have discovered on our own. He was a shining spot in an otherwise dreary day.
Awesome Experience
Deedra_M, Apr 2024
I really enjoyed this tour. Graham our tour guide was very informative and engaging with the group in giving detailed information about the various sites we were visiting throughout the tour.
Nice Tour of Sydney
EdwardJ_C, Apr 2024
This was a nice overall tour of Sydney. Graham did a great job with the tour info. The van was comfortable and I would recommend doing the tour. It was a big plus to be picked up at our hotel.
Great

Graham, our tour guide. Very thoughtful and considerate of each one trying to make sure we each enjoyed the tour
Our tour guide was excellent
Delia_K, Apr 2024
Seeing all the beach in Sydney ,the opera house. the wharf, the light house .The money was worth it for this tour
Waste of Money
Kimber_M, Apr 2024
While the tour covered all of the major parts of Sydney, our tour guide Nigel made the experience less enjoyable. Nigel was very knowledgeable about the history but his delivery made it hard to comprehend what he was saying. His speech is also VERY monotone which caused people to loose interest quick. No one on the tour was engaged and people were struggling to stay awake! I would save your money or request another tour guide!
Great Tour
Eileen_B, Apr 2024
Rain, rain, go away! Even though we had experienced rain, even downpours, ever since arrining in Sydney, our guide/driver was terrific. His tour and narrative made us decide to visit Sydney again in tge future! And in the end he offered to drop each of us whereever we wanted (shopping, tour sites, pier, or hotel). It was a great experience even though a bit wet.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Eileen . Thank you for your review. The day of your tour was indeed a wet day, but we knew that our guides are experienced enough to make the day enjoyable rain or shine. Umbrellas at the ready, should it rain on our tour. I am glad Paul made your day enjoyable
Sydney Discovered!
Wheatguy, Apr 2024
Great running commentary from our guide. We feel he significantly elevated our understanding of his home,Sydney. History, culture, and fun observations.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Thank you for your review. we are glad to hear you had a great experience with our guide
Perfect birthday
Jeaninne_B, Apr 2024
The tour was great! We saw beautiful places and were able to take lots of pictures. The best part was that the tour operator was able to save the day for the passengers that came off Holland America Noordam that couldn't dock as originally advertised because of bad weather and the port being closed. He shuffled some tour busses around, came to pick us up at port, then we did our tour, and then got dropped off at our respective hotels! Kudos to you! You made 9 people very happy, especially the birthday girl😊
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Jeaninne. so nice to meet you at the cruise port, and i am glad to hear your birthday ended up fantastic. I do remember this day well, as not only you and your partner, but also 7 others coming in on the Noordam , delayed into port. Its part of the service we aim to deliver. I am happy that you all got to experience your tour in Sydney. safe travels Dane

Tracy_S, Apr 2024
Graham is a long time Sydney resident who clearly loves his city. He’s good driver and a patient tour guide who definitely gave us a great variety of scenic venues. The van was comfortable and easy to access on/off for those picture-worthy breaks. Great value for the price!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Tracy thanks for your review. Graham is a wonderful guide and surely loves showing Sydney off.

How knowledgeable the guide was and how helpful he was getting me off and on the van. I have to walk with a cane. Favorite was the stop at the entrance to the Sydney harbor.
A great way to see the city, especially, for a newcomer
