Great Sydney Private Tour
My son and I were in Sydney for a father-son trip. We had a awesome your with a local perspective with Scott. I had noted that we wanted to see art and culture of Sydney. My son and I already did the Bridge Climb, Art Gallery of NSW and Opera House visits on our own. We felt that Scott filled in everything else. Saw local art galleries, cultural stops and was able to get around to different beaches, universities and other sites. Thought it was a great customized tour that just can't be done on our own. Would recommend for anyone visiting Sydney. I'm definitely looking forward to returning with other family members and doing it again.

Do this your first day in Sydney!
As first timers to Sydney, here to drop off our exchange student, we were overwhelmed by the amount of things to see. Our time with Charlie, the mountain man, as he describes himself, was the perfect way to get a taste of all things Sydney and build a list of places we needed to explore further on our own. His knowledge of Sydney is vast, make sure to spend a little time upfront telling them what you want to accomplish and see, and they’ll make it a PERFECT day. Cheers!

An Epic Day of Touring Sydney & Surrounds with Charlie!
Charlie is a professional,highly informative, friendly and expert guide! All pre-tour planning and email conversations were timely, thorough and satisfying! Upon arrival via the Celebrity Edge....our tenders delivered us to the Opera House Wharf much later than scheduled,...and Charlie was there waiting at the turn- around behind Sydney Opera House welcoming us to the city in his very luxurious Range Rover! Our day of Discover Sydney began with a bouquet of greetings, smiles and excited anticipation! We headed right into The Royal Botanic Gardens where Charlie began sharing with us the history of Sydney....he sprinkled his history lessons with information about the local flora and fauna.....Sitting on Mrs. Macquarie's chair, being amazed at the Merton Bay Figs and the gorgeous and raucous birdlife!!!!! We were enthralled with Charlie's breadth of knowledge and his calm, humorous and tranquil comportment. As we drove from place to place, Charles answered our queries about Sydney, Sydney's history, government past & present and drew our attention to the historic architecture and the interesting animal life we passed along the way....we trailed after a Kookabura and watched as it pulled worms from the ground and another Kookabura in a tree "beating a mouse to tenderize it" before eating!!!!!! We were regaled by cockatoos, black swans, ibis, and australian magpies to name but a few!!! Our travels took us to and thru The Rocks, Darlinghurst, Moore Park, Woollahra, and to Centennial Park! At Centennial Park Charles brought us on a walk to a huge forest area that was home to thousands of Flying Foxes hanging from trees high up in the canopies! It was magical!!! Then on thru Waverly Park, Rose Bay, Vaucluse and to the famous Bondi Beach!!!! Charles gave us time to walk in every location, take pictures, and enjoy the exquisite views....we enjoyed a lovely coffee at one of his favorite cafes ....and throughout our day together Charles was brilliant companion, teacher, guide and friend. We could not have been happier with our tour with Charles. Every minute was packed with details and history of the beauty of Sydney and Surrounds...we can surely say that Charles expertly guided us into falling in love with Sydney. Thank You Charles!!!!! Next visit....how bout the Blue Mountains, Charles???!!!!!! Many thanks! Madelyn and Alex
Response from the operator: Wow!! What an amazing review of your day with Charlie who we agree is an amazing tour guide. Thanks so much for taking the time to write in so much details and I can tell you Charlie was so happy to receive your feedback. Safe travels :) Scott, Charlie and the team.

Luxury Sydney Tours by Scott
Scott. He’s a people person with a truly caring perspective. His tour ran us through all the must see/mist do’s around the city. Even AFTER our tour Scott reached out via text to suggest great ideas! Scott’s a wonderful person and that’s evident right away. We spent 6 hours in his company and Bei g a lifelong resident makes him so knowledgeable about Sydney and its ins and outs. He’s helped get us set up for our week of exploring. Scott’s tours are primarily self performed, so you’re getting deluxe attention. Thanks Scott!!
Response from the operator: A big thank you for your kind words and it was a joy to host you in Sydney. Safe travels, Scott and the YSG team.

Excellent Tour with an Excellent Guide
We had an amazing city tour with Bianca from Your Sydney Guide. Bianca was not just extremely knowledgeable, she was also easy going and very funny. We really enjoyed spending the day with her.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for the review. Bianca is lots of fun and great guide. Safe travels :)

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Sydney City Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Luxury Sydney City Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1195 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury Sydney City Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Luxury Sydney City Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Sydney City Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury Sydney City Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Sydney City Private Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Sydney City Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
