Your Itinerary

Sydney Opera House

Explore the outside of the iconic Sydney Opera House and capture that perfect shot. Your guide will take you on a fascinating journey through the drama and intrigue which led to the building of this architectural wonder of the modern world. If you have time, book an optional interior tour of this wondrous performance venue

Mrs Macquarie's Chair

Have your camera ready for the best view in Sydney! Look across the sweeping harbour view to the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and learn the story of Mrs Macquarie and why of all things, she has a stone chair named for her.

St. Mary's Cathedral

(Pass by)

Enjoy a driving tour past the Royal Botanical Gardens, the heritage State Parliament House and the landmark St Mary’s Cathedral. Your guide will provide expert commentary for all of the driving tour.

Kings Cross

(Pass by)

Learn about Sydney’s seedy underbelly as you drive through the infamous Kings Cross. Once the notorious Red Light district of Sydney, these days it is the popular night life area. Be entertained by the stories and characters of this district, and maybe observe a few for yourself as you drive down Darlinghurst Rd.

Watsons Bay

Meander up the eastern arm of Sydney Harbour to the spectacular Watson’s Bay. Look back at the expanse of the largest and deepest harbours in the world. Take a short stroll to the lookout point at The Gap, a dramatic ocean cliff which faces out over the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.

Bondi Beach

Visit one of the most famous and beautiful beaches in the world when you stop at Bondi Beach. Look out for the celebrated Bondi Surf Rescue crew in their distinctive Yellow and Red caps. Stroll the promenade, grab a drink or even twinkle your toes in the sea.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

(Pass by)

Cross over the heritage-listed Sydney Harbour Bridge. Completed in 1932, this steel structure carries trains, cars and pedestrian traffic between the south and north shores of Sydney. Hear about the harrowing construction as you pass under its enormous arch.

McMahons Point

Stop at McMahon’s Point for a completely different perspective of the Sydney Harbour. The majesty of the Harbour Bridge looms large and frames the Opera House as you look back across the waters. This is the postcard shot that everyone wishes they had!

Manly Beach

“Seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care" an old advertising slogan once sang. Manly really is a unique Sydney beach experience. With the wide expanse of the Norfolk Pine tree-lined ocean beach, dotted with surfers, and only a short walk down the open air shopping mall known as The Corse, lies the gentle harbour beach, a haven for tiny tots and families. Relax and soak in the easy going atmosphere or take a wander around to the hidden gem that is Shelley Beach.

North Head

Stop at the lookout to the gateway to Sydney. North Head is one side of the narrow passage that, just like a hidden doorway, reveals the secrets beyond. Look out on the unparalleled views that stretch out before you. Imagine Captain Cook and the Endeavour sailing through these Heads to the magnificent harbour within.

Sydney Harbour

(Pass by)

If time allows your guide can take you to some of our secret spots. Places with names such as Arabanoo, Bradley’s Head, Dee Why, Curl Curl and Balmoral. We can customise your tour to make sure you get exactly what you want during your time in Sydney.

From the initial booking experience with David, to the last moment of the tour, Runaway Tours was exceptional in every way! Well worth the experience of hiring a private tour, as our host and guide, Scott, made us feel welcomed and part of the Sydney community. We didn’t miss a single highlight, beginning with the Rocks, Harbour, Opera House, all the way to the beaches. We would definitely recommend!

We had an amazing day touring the city with Vic. We were able to stop at a lot of scenic vistas, visit both Manly and Bondi beaches, shop, have lunch, learn and see some historical sights. Our guide was a native of Sydney and could relate well to all areas and local topics
