Overview

Our fantastically picturesque city of Sydney can be quite a handful to tackle as a foreign traveller. Sydney is a city of diverse offerings. From our iconic landmarks, exquisite beaches and unique history, a comprehensive immersion into the city requires thorough investigation. HOWEVER! There is another way. Entrust me, as the owner and sole guide of this little business, with 7 hours of your precious time and the depths of Sydney will be unveiled before you in spectacular fashion. Allow me the privilege of showing you all that I cherish about this city.

We will explore the historic Rocks district, where our English settlers first arrived in 1788. We visit destinations offering unparalleled views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. We then traverse the suburbs of Sydney to Bondi Beach and relish in the splendour it exudes so effortlessly. Once your appetite for Sydney’s must do attractions has been satiated, we embark on a journey that unravels the secret treasures of the city.

Enroute your hotel, there are two options. We can take the Manly Ferry which will take us directly into the city. The ferry ride is so scenic and gives a different perspective of the city as we cruise the Sydney Harbour, this can sometimes be a good alternative to avoid traffic. The second is to be dropped back to your hotel in the car. The choice is yours! Just ask us if you are unsure.
