Sydney Full Day Private Tour

SYDNEY FULL DAY PRIVATE TOUR

Enjoy the best full day private Sydney Sightseeing tour around! Discover the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the beaches, the cafes and the people. Learn about the city’s rich history and culture from your expert guide. Discover Sydney’s hidden delights further afield, such as Arabanoo lookout and the Northern Beaches.

SYDNEY’S COLONIAL HISTORY

Start your journey with a pickup from your city hotel and travel by private vehicle with your personal guide through downtown Sydney. Travel through the city’s oldest precinct, The Rocks, and pass by St Mary’s Cathedral, State Parliament House, the original Sydney Hospital and the first Sydney Mint.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Learn about how this famous icon of Sydney came to be, and the controversy surrounding its construction. Get that perfect snapshot on the sweeping steps with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background. Marvel at the immense structure and beauty of this true wonder of the modern world

MRS MACQUARIE’S CHAIR

Explore the most perfect peninsula in Sydney. Named after Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of one of Sydney earliest and most influential governors, Robert Lachlan Macquarie. This perfect spot offers sweeping vistas across the harbour, with the most idyllic views over The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Step back in time and take a seat in Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, which was hand-chiselled by convicts into the natural sandstone rock.

SYDNEY HARBOURSIDE

Tour through the prestigious waterfront eastern suburbs of Double Bay and Rose Bay. Whether it is sailing or seaplanes, these exclusive locations have it all covered. Follow the shoreline all the way to the spectacular entrance to Sydney Harbour, as you visit Watson’s Bay with its astounding views, tranquil beaches and delicious seafood. Look out at the endless Pacific Ocean at “The Gap”, the rugged ocean cliff front on the South Head Peninsula.

BONDI BEACH

Continue your tour to Bondi Beach, famous for its red and yellow outfitted lifesavers and its wide expanse of golden sands. Stroll along the boardwalk and watch surfers, swimmers and sunbathers enjoying everything beach life has to offers, yet these urban dwellers live only a few miles from the city centre. Feel free to dip your toes into the Tasman Sea or go for a coffee at one of the many modern cafes along the promenade.

SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE

After lunch we head north, crossing over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, affectionately know as the “Coat Hanger”. This marvel of 1930’s engineering changed the face of Sydney forever and, nearly 100 years later, is still a highlight of the city. Hear the harrowing stories of the men who worked on the construction, and look out for the grey jumpsuit-clad people doing one of the most unique activities in Sydney, The Bridge Climb.

SYDNEY NORTH SHORE

Your Sydney Full Day Private Tour hits overdrive, then you step onto the North Shore.  A more hilly terrain than the south and with many suburbs still surrounded by their original forested areas, it is often referred to as the Leafy North Shore! You will stop at McMahons Point, just over the bridge, for stunning views of the harbour and a different perspective of the city skyline. Many of the Northside harbour suburbs are serviced by ferries and, as any local will tell you, there is no better way to commute to work.

ABORIGINAL HISTORY AND CULTURE

Stop at Arabanoo Lookout for a glorious panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Hear stories of the Eora (meaning people) tribe, and learn about some of the 30 distinct clan groups who lived on the rich resources of Sydney’s harbour and rivers before the British settlement. Arabanoo, a Gadigal man, is a key character in the history of Aboriginal Sydney. He was captured and held captive by Governor Phillip in an attempt to conciliate and understand the natives.

MANLY

Heading north-east we pass through some the stunning harbourside suburbs before arriving at the seaside village of Manly. With its stretches of sunny beaches dotted with sunbathers, surfers and Norfolk Pine trees it is a far cry from the faster-paced southern shores. Enjoy an afternoon ice cream or coffee as you stroll the Manly Corso, an open air mall which connects the surf beach to the gentle harbour beach and ferry terminal
