Tour Itinerary and Highlights
Private luxury touring Explore Sydney city, The Rocks and Eastern Suburbs
Morning Tea with stunning harbour views over The Gap
Lunch overlooking Famous Bondi Beach
9.30AM Your informative and knowledgeable guide will collect you from your Sydney hotel as we commence our private journey of Sydney city and the Eastern Suburbs Region. We begin in the Sydney old town (The Rocks) and CBD (Central Business District) for you to learn about the settling of Sydney, colonial convict history and the modern financially focussed skyscrapers. We visit Macquarie St and Mrs Macquarie’s Chair where some of Sydney’s most historic sites and buildings are located as well as prime views of Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. We journey around the southern shores,bays and coves of Sydney Harbour for breath-taking views over one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. We take a break at Watsons Bay and The Gap with the option for a 15-minute clifftop walk at the entrance of Sydney Harbour – one of the most captivating Panoramic Views in Sydney.
Sydney sheds its suit and tie, ditches the strappy heels and chills out in the eastern suburbs. Beach after golden-sand beach, alternating with sheer sandstone cliffs, are the classic vistas of this beautiful, laid-back and egalitarian stretch of the city. The most famous of these beaches is Bondi Beach and here we will enjoy a 2 course lunch with one beverage of choice (beer/wine/soft drink) at a local beachfront restaurant and then time for guests to enjoy a stroll along the beach promenade and appreciate Bondi and all of its many unique faces.
After lunch, time for a self-guided walk along one of Sydney’s most iconic walks, taking in beautiful beaches, cliff tops and great cafes along the way. Your guide will walk with you up to the stunning Bondi Icebergs swimming club – one of Australia’s most photographed pools and set you on to the paved path that will take you around the headland. In the winter months, this is a great vantage point to spot humpback whales making the annual migration along the coast. Enjoy the stunning views as you make your way on to Tamarama Beach and then on to your destination of Bronte Beach where your guide will be waiting for you.
Bronte Beach is approximately 1 kilometre
from Bondi and the path is a Level: Grade 2

Excellent lunch
Visited wildlife center with Koalas, kangaroo, pheasant, wombats and many other animals
highly recommend this trip
Andy was courteous and informative. A luxury 14 people van for our small group. Impressive.
Beware the way how they treat the other people can be the way they treat you.
Would have been amazing if we had a guide with us on the lovely walk so we could have learnt a little more about the flora and fauna along the way. Maybe a leaflet with what you see and some information would be useful. The picnic lunch was fantastic with really well filled sandwiches. Plentiful water was handed out along the trip and great fizz at the final stop.
Such a knowledgeable person and explaining all the history and current happenings of Sydney.
All the main sceneries covered in half a day during the morning so you may try to do other activities during noon.
The day was packed with plenty of photo stops along the way. Timings were kept to which meant no wasted time and you got a very good taster tour of the Blue Mountains in one day. We enjoyed seeing the animals up close at the city farm and the Botanic gardens are stunning.
The company though had not organised things well. Nearly all the guests are older tourists and I heard this is typical. It's really windy and chilly in the morning and no guidance to bring a hoody or jersey etc. Some of us purchased jackets at the lunchtime tourist store (part of a plan?) I heard quite a few moans about that. The lunch picnic sandwich provided to walkers was essentially just a tube wrap full of mayonnaise that burst out of both ends simultaneously on any contact with the mouth. Both inedible and v messy, especially where no bathrooms available. But the biggest issue is the hike to Evans Point. I was OK with it as a regular runner, but found it unpleasant due to long, continuous steep ascents. Some of the older members of the group barely made it. I felt so bad for them. Please know this is a challenging, mostly uphill climb. Not a scenic walk. Great cardio workout but really not fun. Most walkers felt this had not been well articulated. So, a mixed bag I'm afraid.
We did make the most of the trip - got foggy photos of the blue mountains. The driver was helpful when we weren't driving. We got to see Kangaroos and Koala Bears. It was fun - just missed some of the background. No compensation given.
