Wear comfortable shoes. Wonderful tour. Architecture and bay and public system are very clean and easy to use. Each adult must have their own credit card.

Peter was an outstanding guide and great ambassador for Australia and Viator. This over 4 hour included tram ride, ferry ride, Sydney Opera House, and museum. Great review of Sydney and Australia's history and growth. Peter was very knowledgeable and build the tour according to what we wanted. Thanks Peter for a great afternoon.

What you’ll do

How many cities have you visited where crystal clear beaches and colorful cockatoos upstage ultra-modern buildings? Four hours couldn’t possibly let you cover all of Sydney’s breathtaking spots, but with a local insider leading the way, you’ll see much more than you bargained for.

From the upmarket inner-city suburbs of Paddington and Balmain to historic George Street and The Rocks, you could explore the city’s most iconic neighborhoods before doing what Sydneysiders do best: getting outdoors!

Whether your style is strolling the lawns of the 200-year-old Royal Botanic Gardens, hiking between cliffs, or enjoying fish and chips on the beachfront in Coogee, get a taste of that iconic city-to-surf lifestyle with your host.
