Visit the old Sydney town of The Rocks, where British settlement began, and hear stories of the old convict colony. See many examples of old historical buildings dating back over 200 years
Visit the Sydney Botanical Gardens and Mrs Macquarie's Point, with Sydneys best viewpoint of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Learn about these famous icons of Sydney, and see a rare example of convict labour, Mrs Macquarie's Chair
Traveling through the affluent and wealthy region of the eastern suburbs, including Darling Point, Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay. Edging the harbours shores, we will take several short stops for photo opportunities with views of the most splendid harbour in the world
Visit Watsons Bay, a small fishing village locality, and views of the entrance to Sydney Harbour and The Gap. Time and weather permitting, there is an option for a short 15 minute coastal walk.
Visit Sydney's most famous beach, Bondi. We allow approximately 30 minutes for you to wander at leisure, admire the golden sands and bronzed Aussie surfers as they ride wave after wave. Dig your toes in the sand or simply relax and people watching and ocean viewing.
We take a drive through Centennial Park, Sydney's largest green space, with many lakes and ponds attracting and array of bird-life such as pelicans, black swans, cockatoos and more. Stop by the lake and hang out with the friendly birds. The Park is only open during daylight hours, and gates begin to close just before sunset.
Drive through the tree-lined streets of paddington and Darlinghurst, filled with many century-old Victorian terraces and cottages. Once considered a slum, now a beutifully preserved piece of history and restored homes.
Returning back to the city, we visit Sydney's entertaining and leisure playground, Darling Harbour, with many museums, Aquarium, animal park and an array of quality restaurants. Also, we drive through the newest urban precinct, Barangaroo, and home to Sydney's tallest building. Continuing on to Walsh Bay and the restored finger wharves, we drive under the Harbour Bridge, for another vantage point of the Opera House.

Excellent Panoramic Sight Seeing Tour with Lucia.
Excellent tour, experience, service, information provided from our tour guide Mario. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed the tour, would have liked to know the name of parks and museums- had to ask names of more than one place. It would have made it easier especially with large bus group
Graham was a great guide. He was courteous, knowledgeable and kind. The tour coveted the cities main locations with commentary about them. Would highly recommend.
Helder is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and very funny. Incredibly easy going and happy to go wherever you want. Amazing experience, highly recommend.
Graham did awesome showing us every single detail in our tour. Great!
Karyn was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable about the area and made sure we knew everything including the history. She took us to interesting points and never reminded snapping a photo. We would highly recommend her as a guide.
A full city tour! The drive included a comprehensive tour of the city, with views of the north and south sides of the harbor. Lunch at Doyles restaurant in Watson's Cove was excellent. Our driver, Matt, was knowledgeable and personable, and shared many interesting facts.
Mario was the best tour guide ever
Graham did a very nice job explaining the sites of Sydney
Hilder was AWESOME! He stopped and found us Dr Pepper to drink as a surprise after a stop! Super customer service!!! Major kudos! Very personal, informative, knowledgeable, and super cute on the eyes! We enjoyed our afternoon meeting with him! He made our entire trip to Sydney! These Texas girls really enjoyed our down under experience with this special bloke! Thank you Hilder for making our day so GREAT!♥️👍🏻🪃☘️
Friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. Would recommend at the start of Sydney trip. Thank you Mario.
Tyler was great, very informative and fun. Got a good feel for the city and its history.
We had Tyler for our guide. He was prompt and kept us on track so we were able to see everything he had planned. He was very knowledgeable and great sense of humor. He told us how to get to places of interest after our tour. We had a great time.
Tyler was really friendly and informative about each place we stopped. He shared a lot of information about each location, history, current and several good restaurants.
I enjoyed seeing the neighborhoods of Sydney, and Graham did an excellent job of telling about Sydney history and pointing out all the sites
Nice half day bus tour with several stops throughout the city - got to see most of the ‘must-sees’, either up close or from a distance. A good introduction to Sydney with our lovely guide, Dave.
Helder did a wonderful job of sharing historical tidbits. Great balance of talk, humor, personal experience, and quiet reflection. We give this our highest endorsement.
Graham was an excellent guide for this afternoon trip which explored many of the Sydney neighbourhoods but also helped fit together how the harbour and city interact, as well as the eastern beaches. Very enjoyable
A fantastic tour from start to finish. The tour covered all of the highlights that Sydney has to offer. Our guide, Graham was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and FUN! I would recommend this tour and company without reservation
Mario was awesome!!! He was very informative, funny, and showed us all the great views and places around the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the city.
Our first time in Sydney, really enjoyed the tour very much. Amazing and very beautiful. Surprised what we experienced in Sydney how beautiful it is.
Beautiful Sydney tour with knowledgeable guide Helder, who was very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. Also helpful at Bondi.
We had a great day touring Sydney with Mario as our guide. We saw the tourist areas and were brought through the back streets to see places of interest. Equally important he shared history of Australia as well as what it’s like to live in Sydney and Australia today. If you get Mario, as your guide consider yourself lucky because you get more than just a sightseeing tour.
Excellent experience and great tour guide, really enjoyed! Nice overview of the city and the best sites. THe tour guide was very funny
Great Guide and driver, Helder, he‘s the best! Good storyteller, nice jokes, knows a lot about the city he trudle loves, and so do I now!
Our driver/tour guide Helder is super friendly and knowledgeable. He was on time and courteous. I would recommend this tour, especially at the beginning of your trip. Then you'll have all the knowledge of what's available and where.
Overall a good experience. Tour guide was knowledgeable, courteous, and enthusiastic. Would recommend to anyone interested in this type of tour.
Helder was unbelievable! Friendly, passionate, and educational. A great way to learn history & different areas in Sydney.
A fascinating city brought to life by a warm, friendly, enthusiastic gentleman who knew much more than the tour allowed. Mario, you’re welcome to come to Atlanta and let me return the favor! Cheers!
Great tour thank you so much! I would recomend this to anyone that wants to visit Sidney because he guides you trough the city like anyone else
Such a great way to see Sydney! The weather turned cold and rainy and it was still worth it. Mario is the best and he made the tour fun, informative and funny. Now I know where I would want to go back to when the suns back out! Thanks AEA!
Great first day in Sydney. Loved walking the seven beaches and learning about the city. Even went back to one of Helder's recommendations that night for a cocktail.
Our tour guide, Helder, did an excellent job of making the most of a rainy, misty day. His timing was excellent for openings in the clouds to see Boar’s Head and the Three Sisters. He was very knowledgeable about the local history and quite capable spotting birds. Loved petting the koala bear at Calmsley Hill. The kangaroos and wallabies were pretty amazing. Lunch was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.
Helder was amazing.. great knowledge & funny!! Made it really fun looking at Sydney.. beautiful city & rest with different vibes! Thanks
AEA took our party of four on a great compressed tour of Sydney, with focus on must-see city areas and structures, but also reaching out to Bondi Beach. Our guide Sevi was knowledgeable, personable and generous with her time. She shared her wealth of experience with great professionalism and charm. Altogether, a well-spent half day that made us want to come back soon.
Eldin was so knowledgeable and flexible to help us make the best tour for us! We had a great day and would highly recommend!!
We had great day with our guide Severine who was very informative She made us discover how Australian live and think Severine is very lively ,attentive and thoughtful She is wonderful and recommend that tour especially with her André and Suzanne
This was awesome! Heldir was our guide and he did an amazing job and knew all about the places we went to see and helped give us recommendations for after the tour was over too on other things to do and see in the city!
Mario shared so much of the history to help us understand the background for each location we stopped to visit. A half-day terrific day Tour!
We were meet by Graham on time at our hotel He was excellent from the start, taking time to explain the history and not to travel too fast so we did not miss anything I would strongly suggest you ask for Graham he was brilliant , mannerly and knowledgeable
We did the half-day tour with Graham who was a very friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable guide whom we got to know quite well as we also did a Blue Mountains tour with him. We also felt very safe with his driving. The whole experience was very relaxed and enjoyable, would highly recommend. A special mention for this Company as they honoured our Bookings even though we were the only two for both tours and they would not have made any money - a sign of real integrity!
As is often the case, a good tour guide can make all the difference. In our case we were matched up with Scott who met us promptly at our hotel for our private (there were five of us) tour around Sydney. It is always refreshing to hear that your tour guide grew up in the area you are touring. Scott was able to embellish the usual highlights with stories of his own that made it all seem more real. Our tour took us from downtown to the botanical gardens to the North Headlands before circling back through picturesque neighborhoods. The last thing Scott did for us is book a reservation for us with Doyles on the Beach in Watson's Bay. We had driven by this restaurant during our tour and he suggested it as an iconic dinner house that had the added bonus of requiring the ferry to get there. So rather than drop us off at our hotel he took us back to Circular Quay, explained the process of getting on the ferry and off we went. A great sightseeing day with a great tour guide and a happy ending for dinner.
Chris was a wonderful tour guide that took us around the city and showed us all the little and big things about Sydney. He was polite, professional, and genuine. We had a great day!
Sidney is a great city, we explored on the open top buses where there are two routes. Also a trip around the harbour was interesting and the Opera House is worth a visit. Travelling around is easy as public transport is very good. Theres so much to do the only way to find out is to visit the city which is highly recommended.
Everything was first class! From pick-up to drop-off, our guide was attentive and very knowledgeable. My health was not great and I had to make use of a cane. Our guide made sure that I was safe and taken care of. The sights we saw were beautiful and our guide made great use of our time.
I would like to tell you what a wonderful time we had with our tour guide Hugh. He picked us up at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney and was one of the most interesting people and guides we have ever met. His knowledge of the area and history was amazing. We felt like we really knew Sydney well after this tour. You are very fortunate to have a man of his knowledge and caliber as yiour guide. His kindest and consideration of all things regarding our comfort was far above anything we expected. He was a true gentleman. Thank you for this experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Axel, our most excellent guide. A comprehensive tour through the many residential areas of Sydney, including Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's former abode!
<p>Great tour which got us around to all the beaches. Nice that our guide let us walk a few paths instead of being in the car the whole time.</p>
