Overview
You will be picked up from your Sydney CBD hotel at 7.45am. The tour starts with a drive through The Rocks, the area where European settlement in Australia truly began. Here, you can see some of the nineteenth century streets and buildings where Sydney’s first European settlers lived and worked. Pass through some other interesting neighborhoods in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, such as trendy Paddington – famed for its leafy streets and Victorian townhouses. Along the way, stop at the popular Mrs Macquarie’s Chair viewpoint to admire the harbour and the city which embraces it. Heading further out, reach Watsons Bay at the entrance to the harbour. From the sandstone cliffs you can take in the city skyline and the headlands of the harbour entrance. Next, head to Bondi, Sydney’s most famous beach. Stop for pictures, and perhaps a waterfront stroll before heading back towards the city via Centennial Park. Travel over Sydney Harbour Bridge and pass through some of the north shore neighborhoods before arriving at Manly, one of Sydney’s most appealing beach-side suburbs. You can take a walk past the shops and eateries of the Corso, a pleasant precinct linking the harbor with Manly’s attractive ocean-side waterfront. At about 12.45pm, you can either be driven back to your hotel or finish the tour in Manly (perhaps stay in the area for lunch) and then make your own way back by public ferry across the harbour (ferry tickets at own expense).

Glenn was a wonderful tour guide... telling us about Sydneys culture and history. He took is to spectacular views of the harbor, hikes along rocky cliffs, ice cream at the charming Watson Bay community and walks along Bondi and Manly beach. We had plenty of breaks to stretch and he was excellent at educating us about this wonderful city.

4 or us had an outstanding private tour with Glenn in his Mercedes van on Feb 2. A step ahead of the crowds/buses to Featherdale Park for wonderful experience there. We visited multiple viewpoints where crowds were small to non-existent. Excellent lunch at a cafe with locals. Knowledgeable about the Blue Mt history, flora, and fauna with engaging personality. Even made a stop at a local wine shop where he helped make excellent selections for upcoming cruise. Cost included return ferry to Circular Quay. He was overtime but still insisted on waiting until we departed. Great guide! Great day!

Very accommodating.driver was extremely patient and waited a couple of hours while we tried in vain to locate our luggage at the airport. It arrived three days later. We were able to prearrange our pickup at the airport and started the tour from there. Great introduction to Australia. Once in the vehicle the experience was once in a lifetime venture. Wonderful beginning to an excellent trip. Highly recommend this tour. Worth every penny and then some.
