Departure Time

Drive from Sydney CBD to the suburb of Manly, listening as your driver shares informative commentary about the city’s history and landmarks. Pass Darling Harbour, and stop at Milson’s Point and the Arabanoo Lookout for a new perspective on the engineering of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.

Wander in Manly on a pedestrian walkway known as The Corso, and end up at Manly Beach. After marveling at the majestic Pacific Ocean and dipping your toes in the water, hop back in your coach to drive back to central Sydney.

For lunch, you have two options. You can upgrade to include a lunch cruise on Sydney Harbour, or you can enjoy free time before rejoining the coach for the afternoon portion of your tour.

After lunch, see highlights in downtown, such as Hyde Park, St. Mary’s Cathedral, and the Parliament House. Stop at the Royal Botanic Gardens, and take in panoramic vistas of Sydney Harbour from a landmark known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair.

Keep your camera handy as your coach travels out of town to the dramatic seaside cliffs called The Gap. There you have great photo ops of Watson’s Bay. Continue on to Bondi Beach.

Your return journey to Sydney takes you through desirable areas such as Paddington and Rushcutters Bay, before dropping you off at your hotel.

More than just the City Center
James_H
, Mar 2020
Great city-wide tour, and more than just the City Center - inner harbour, Bondi Beach, Manly Beach, and North Sydney across the bridge, just to name a few. The driver did an excellent job maneuvering around traffic and history of Sydney. Recommend adding the lunch cruse - good variety of dishes.

Had a wonderful “sunny” day touring Sydney with the harbor lunch cruise. This is our first trip to Australia! Henry our driver was the very best. We learned sooo much about Sydney and he had a fun personality. Highly recommend this tour.

Sydney tour with harbor cruise lunch
Kathy
, Mar 2020
Steve was our guide and he was very personable as well as knowledgeable about the places he took us, as well as Sydney/Australian history. We only stayed for the morning half of the tour, due to opting out of the cruise lunch, but Steve told us other great options for getting back to Sydney from Manly and was able to offer up options for meals as well. The way the tour was described on Viator did not match what we thought the tour was. One was to tour parts of Sydney, have 2 hours on harbor cruise with lunch and then end the day touring East Sydney which we had done the day before. We understood it as a harbor cruise to see the city and that we could opt out of the lunch and make it a half day excursion. This was not the case. It was a full day tour and we had other plans.

Great tour of the Sydney area

This was a full day around the Sydney area on a 50 passenger motor coach with a professional driver/tour guide. Steve, our driver, gave a good informative narration during the tour, including history. We got to spend 1 hour at Manly Beach (morning) and Bondi Beach (afternoon). Steve also stopped at many places allowing for good pictures of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. We took the optional lunch cruise and enjoyed a nice lunch with dessert, (drinks & soda pop were extra). There were just enough rest breaks and the coach was restroom equipped. Over all it was a very good tour of the area and we enjoyed it but it was a full day.

Great day tour of Sydney

Great way to get an overview of Sydney. Our driver Peter T was great. Was very knowledgeable on the history of Sydney. We had a very rainy day but Peter made the most of it for us. Added several sites along the way as we were not always able to get out at all of the scheduled stops. Kept everyone entertained. Can't say enough good about him. The lunch cruise totally exceeded our expectations for the quality of the food. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour

In spite of it being a very rainy day; our guide, Jason, made it a wonderful tour. He had to deal with some “difficult” passengers, and he was able to take care of matters graciously. Jason walked us to our destinations when necessary so we always felt looked after. We saw a great deal of Sydney on this tour. Very worthwhile.

This is the second time we have done this tour (6 years apart) and was just as enjoyable. Our tour guide Brad was knowledgeable and provided great commentary throughout the day. For anyone staying in Sydney for just a few days we would recommend this tour to give the opportunity to see many of the great sights in the area. Time to look around a few places & grab a drink in the morning and afternoon. Lunch on the boat was good - 2 course meal with menu selection to choose from. Drinks are extra and you do have a few photos taken available at the end of the boat tour for $12 each. A nice momento but maybe a bit expensive. A mature couple travelling with mum - no issues with accessibility or problems. (No option below to say travelling as older family group😉)
