A day of bespoke discovery

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.

Sam was an absolutely, amazing driver/guide. We had two wonderful days with Sam, full of fun experiences, great conversations, beautiful views etc.. We did the Private Blue Mountains Day Tour and Sydney Full Day Tour. Sam was totally open to making the days exactly what we asked for and within our abilities. We would definitely recommend Sam for your tours out of Sydney. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Sam

Tremendous Day In Sydney - Not To Be Missed

My wife and I had a Private Tour with Sam (Excellent and Knowledgeable Gentleman) He promptly picked us at our front door of our Hotel. We began with an extensive walking tour of the Rocks area with a vast knowledge of history and tidbits. He provided suggestions where to have a Pint or two and places to explore on our own while in Sydney. We then ventured in a large, immaculately clean Mini Van with complimentary refreshments. We were able to visit many memorable and iconic locales such as views of Sydney Opera House , Bondi Beach, Smaller exclusive suburbs of Sydney, Manly Beach area and many more historical and breathtaking sights. We enjoyed a stop at a local bakery and lunch on the Waterfront at a great Restaurant. This was one of the best tours we have ever experienced in all our years of Travelling across the World. The day was tailored to our requests and not rushed. By the end of the day, we felt that Sam was more of a local friend rather than a Tour Guide. Do not miss this opportunity to go on this Tour. It was a true pleasure meeting you Sam and listening to you wealth of knowledge and personal experiences. Stay Well!

Incredible Tour Stops with Lots of History, Fun and Laughter!

Absolutely one of the best tours we've ever experienced! From the moment we stepped into the super nice and comfortable van, the most relaxing, fun, & informative tour began. We learned so much about the history of the city and had a blast along the way with so much laughter and fun conversation. We never felt rushed and saw everything on the itinerary and more! Sam and Alex were the best tour guides ever! Highly recommend The Australian Adventure Company!
