Overview

Over five days, you'll indulge yourself in sightseeing Sydney discovering all the iconic spots of this beautiful city, such as cruising the harbour whilst dining on gourmet New South Wales produce and exploring the famous Blue Mountains National Park.

Your introduction to Sydney will begin with a tour of the major city highlights including Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Parliament House, Hyde Park, St Mary's Cathedral, Mrs Macquarie's Chair and the famous Bondi Beach, accompanied by an expert local guide. The evening that follows will see you cruising along the Sydney Harbour as the sun sets and night falls transforming the city.

Before you spend a morning exploring The Rocks, Sydney's colonial district, and hearing the story of Australia's first British settlement, you'll head out to the Blue Mountains on a nature and wildlife tour. Known for its tall forests, limestone formations, dramatic cliffs and gorges, and incredibly scenic lookouts, the Blue Mountains is a paradise for nature and wildlife lovers!
