Our fantastically picturesque city of Sydney can be quite a handful to tackle as a foreign traveller. Sydney is a city of diverse offerings. From our iconic landmarks, exquisite beaches and unique history, a comprehensive immersion into the city requires thorough investigation. HOWEVER! There is another way. Entrust me, as the owner and sole guide of this little business, with 7 hours of your precious time and the depths of Sydney will be unveiled before you in spectacular fashion. Allow me the privilege of showing you all that I cherish about this city.
We will explore the historic Rocks district, where our English settlers first arrived in 1788. We visit destinations offering unparalleled views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. We then traverse the suburbs of Sydney to Bondi Beach and relish in the splendour it exudes so effortlessly. Once your appetite for Sydney’s must do attractions has been satiated, we embark on a journey that unravels the secret treasures of the city.

5.00Out of our whole trip around the Southern Hemisphere, thistour might be our favourite… surprising us greatly! The whole day was an incredible amount of fun. Sam was at our hotel early and greeted us right on time to start the tour. From the first interaction we knew we were in good hands. Sam was so full of enthusiasm, obviously a proud resident of Sydney (and for good reason too), it was clear he was passionate about his job. The itinerary kept us entertained, informed, well fed and well quenched throughout the entire day. A perfect assortment of sightseeing, nature history food, Australian wines (Sam’s recommendations). It was awesome to see the opera house up close, learn the history in Rocks area and then enjoy a nice lunch by the beach at Bondi. It is a a day well spent and we are so glad to have chosen this company. Thanks again Sam, best of luck my friend.

5.00We spent an exceptional day touring Sydney with Alex. From the moment he collected us, his professionalism was evident. He had great knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, and culture, and he conveyed it with clarity and enthusiasm. We visited key landmarks such as the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Bondi Beach, as well as several lesser-known vantage points that offered remarkable perspectives of the city. The itinerary was thoughtfully paced, allowing us to appreciate each location without feeling hurried. The vehicle was immaculate and comfortable, and Alex ensured our comfort and safety throughout the day. His attention to detail and genuine pride in Sydney made this a thoroughly rewarding and memorable experience.

5.00Absolutely the best tour ever! We took the Sydney Private Full Day Tour and from the moment we stepped onto the super nice comfortable van, the fun, relaxing, and informative tour began. We never felt rushed and very much enjoyed the history and stories Sam & Alex shared with us of their beautiful city. We saw everything on the itinerary and even added some. There was so much fun and laughter and good music too! Pick up at cruise port to dropping off at hotel was seamless and so easy. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We were in Sydney from Atlanta for our nieces wedding and decided to explore the city a little deeper on our spare day off. We immediately fell head over heels in love with this beautiful city. We could not have been more glad to choose this company to take us on tour. Sams itinerary was just perfect, around every bend was a new and exciting thing to see, it was the variety that impressed us most. One moment we are taking photos by the Opera House, the next we are walking through the bush to some beautiful little cove, then we are cruising through Sydney’s suburbs singing along to Rod Stewart to end up at Bondi Beach. At Bondi we enjoyed a tasty Australian beer, Sam’s choice, and some oysters. The remainder of the day was spent exploring the secret local spots in Sydney before finishing the day in Manly Beach. Overall, this tour was just brilliant, 10/10 could not recommend more. I couldn’t imagine a better way to get to know Sydney then joining Sam on this tour. Thanks for the excellent day Sam!

5.00We had an amazing day exploring Sydney! Sam made the tour fun, engaging, and full of interesting stories about the city. The tour balanced the iconic sights like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge with more quieter spots we never would have discovered on our own. The van was comfortable, the pace was relaxed, and the lunch stop at Felons in Manly, was fun and lively! Everything felt personalised and well organised. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to see Sydney.

5.00Incredible day out with Aus Adventure Company. Our family of five had the best time exploring Sydney in a way we never could have done on our own. Sam was super friendly and full of fun facts and knew all the secret spots that made the day feel really personal not just the usual touristy stuff. We saw awesome sights like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge but also got to check out some quiet coastal trails hidden beaches and had an epic lunch with amazing views. The van was clean and comfy and everything was super well organised without feeling rushed. Highly recommend for families this was a highlight of our whole trip.
Terrific

5.00We had the most marvellous time touring Sydney with Sam. Truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment he greeted us out the front of our hotel, we knew we were in good hands. He was warm, upbeat, and full of energy. The day was packed with variety. One moment we were strolling through the historic laneways of The Rocks. The next we were standing by the Opera House taking in that iconic view. Then came a cheeky drink by the beach, and finally a walk along the sand at Bondi. Every stop brought something new. It never felt rushed or scripted. Just easy and enjoyable from beginning to end. Sam was a delight. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to spend time with. You can tell he loves what he does. We laughed, we learnt, and we saw so much more of Sydney than we ever could have on our own. Highly, highly recommended The Australian Adventure Company. Thank you Sam!

5.00We had such a fun day in Sydney with Sam! It was amazing how quickly it felt as if we made a new friend. Sam was out the front of our hotel early ready to go. This tour was the perfect way to see Sydney, we were so pleased by the itineraries diversity. One moment walking through the super cool historic buildings of The Rocks learning of Sydney’s interesting history, the next taking photos by the opera house, then drinking beer by the beach and then roaming the sand at Bondi! It was all so awesome. Sam’s knowledge was very impressive, Such a friendly, positive young man. Wish you all the best with your business Sam. Michelle L

5.00This was just the most marvellous tour I could have imaged. Our family was enraptured for 7 hours straight as Sam flawlessly delivered this tour for us. His profound knowledge, highly compatible music taste, excellent humour and very varied conversations made for the funnest day of our long trip. His pride and adoration for his city and country manifested itself the whole day through his enthusiasm at every stop. The itinerary was perfect, he gave us the opportunity to alter the tour to suit our likings best and we elected to do more walking, which he enthusiastically allowed for. We saw all that we wanted to see and so much more! The Opera House was magnificent, the historic region was fascinating and all the beautiful beaches he showed us as well. It was all such a joy. The tour van was pristine, very comfortable and luxurious. Touring with Sam I have no doubt is the best way to see and experience Sydney. It was so wonderful to meet you Sam!
