What to expect
Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel and settles you into a leather-seated Mercedes. The journey begins in The Rocks, where you'll hear about Sydney's convict origins before heading through the CBD and past Macquarie Street's sandstone heritage buildings. You'll stop at Mrs Macquarie's Point for the classic postcard Opera House and Bridge shot, then trace the eastern shoreline through upmarket suburbs, pausing at Watsons Bay for scenic views.
Next is Bondi Beach, where you have time for a beach-front walk and a look at the bronzed lifesavers before the coach heads back inland via Centennial Park, Paddington, and Chinatown. A final stop at Darling Harbour precedes the memorable drive beneath the Harbour Bridge on the approach to Circular Quay, where the tour ends.
