    Well rounded view of Sydney

    This tour was perfect for my daughter (her first Sydney experience) and I. It was flexible and included all that we had hoped for. Featherdale Wildlife Park was a hit! Feeding the kangaroos and posing with a koala, among other great animal sightings.. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining as we traversed the city and he immersed us in the culture. He arrived when scheduled and spent just the right amount of time in each stop. The tour is exactly what we hoped for and far exceeded expectations.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Ladies for your lovely review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others. We are delighted to have exceeded your expectations and hope that you are taking home wonderful memories of your cherished family holiday in Sydney! The animals at Featherdale were fabulous and we are glad that we were able to customise your tour on the day to ensure that you both had a fun, memorable experience! We wish you all the very best for your future travels and a very Happy New Year for 2024! Kind Regards Scott and Julia Sydney Private Day Tours

    Fabulous!

    We selected pick up at the airport as our flight arrived early in the morning and hotel check in is always in the afternoon. This tour was the perfect choice to spend our time seeing the sights and more of Sydney and afterwards being dropped off at our hotel. Julia, our guide is a local and the perfect ambassador for the city. She was knowledgeable of the significance and history of the places we visited. We were provided suggestions for dining, shopping and other sights to visit nearby our hotel. We enjoyed our private tour and highly recommend it!

    Response from the operator: Hello Charles and Carla! Thank you for such wonderful feedback and for taking the time to write a review. I was my pleasure to host you for your Sydney Private Tour and share all of the 'best bits' of Sydney and stories about Sydney's colourful history. I hope you enjoyed going to some of Sydney's best local secret restaurants and the wonderful food and wine here in Sydney. I wish you all the very best for your travels on this holiday as you head off for the next exciting leg of your adventure! It truly was great to meet you both and share a busy, but fun day with you - if you are ever back in this part of the world please get in touch, Best Regards Julia - Sydney Private Day Tours

    Special Day Touring Sydney

    There was a little confusion about the initial pickup time for the tour. Viator had inaccurately listed the start time. We called the operator (Scott) and he explained that he would be there at 9am to commence the tour and he offered an apology on behalf of Viator for their listing the time inaccurately. Our first stop was in the Botanical Gardens. We arrived prior to the onslaught of buses full of tourists and we able to enjoy serene beauty of the park. We traveled through the city and traveled outwardly. Our path lead us passed Rose and Watson bay and onto Bondi Beach. Scott, our guide and driver, gave us a brief history of Sydney and the areas through which we traveled. As we stopped in all the beautiful places, Scott gave us plenty of time thoroughly enjoy in the views and take photos. On our way back towards the city we stopped at Steele Point. We sat on the rocks that overlook Shark Beach and Scott provided us with blueberry muffin and juice. He allowed us extra time to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waves lapping over the rocks that accompanied the breath taking view. As we travelled back we requested that Scott return to the overlook adjacent to Gap Bluff. He was more than happy to oblige our request as he had done, and continued, to do during our entire tour. We traveled back through Sydney. We stopped and shared the "must have" pie at Harry's Cafe On Wheels. We continued on and across the bridge to the northern side of Sydney. We next stopped at Manly Beach for some more sight seeing and lunch. We were given ample time to both select and enjoy a hearty lunch at one the local restaurants facing the beach. We had made arrangements with Scott to meet after lunch. As part of our final visit to the north side of Sydney, Scott took us to North Head. It's an area that forms the northern section of the entrance to Sydney Harbor from the Pacific Ocean. Very quiet and beautiful area away from the typical tourist track. We traveled back towards the city and Scott continued to give us in-depth information and history. We stopped at The Rocks prior to the conclusion of our tour. Scott explained the historic value of the bridge and the residences and building surrounding it. We really enjoyed our day. A vast amount of information and history about Sydney was provided through the whole tour. Scott gave us some unique local insight about Sydney. We at no time felt rushed or hurried to meet any prescribed time schedule. I would highly recommend this tour as it gives travelers ideas of other areas of interest and beauty to visit beyond the "visitors guide". Scott is a proud Australian, excellent driver, and informed and knowledgeable tour guide.

    Response from the operator: Dear Iain, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad you had a great time in Sydney! Scott enjoyed showing you both around and your enthusiasm! You had fabulous weather for your tour and it looks like you got some really memorable photos of your trip! We hope to see you back in Sydney one day and would love to show you some other fabulous local destinations. Kind Regards Julia & Scott

    Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.

    How much does Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $249 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 Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour 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 Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour Private Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sydney Private Day Tours | Main Attractions and Highlights | 6 Hour 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.
