1. Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House, on Sydney Harbour at Bennelong Point, is a modern world wonder. Designed by Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973, it's a top icon for visitors. We suggest our Guided Day Tour (City and Eastern Suburbs) to see it from the best lookouts.
3. Sydney Tower Eye
Sydney's tallest structure at 309m, offering breathtaking 360-degree views from the golden beaches to the Blue Mountains. The ticket includes a 4D cinema experience. This can be visited during a private Sydney tour.
4. Sydney Helicopter Flight
Get a bird's-eye view of Sydney's beautiful harbour. A 20-minute flight gives you the best vantage point of all the main attractions. We highly recommend combining a helicopter ride with our 6-hour Private Sydney tour.
5. The Rocks
The Rocks is the foundation place of Sydney, nestled at the foot of the Harbour Bridge. It's an outdoor museum of colonial history, now transformed into a vibrant area of cafes, restaurants, and shops. We explore The Rocks during our Sydney Private Day Tour.
6. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium
Located on Darling Harbour, the aquarium boasts the world’s largest collection of all-Australian aquatic life, with over 12,000 animals. See everything from platypus and penguins to sharks and dugongs. This can be part of a private Sydney tour.
7. Sydney Fish Market
The largest market of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, offering a wide variety of fresh seafood. It’s a bustling, authentic working fish market that can be visited on request during our Sydney Private Day Tour.
8. Royal Botanic Garden
A short walk from the Opera House, these breathtakingly beautiful gardens are an excellent place to escape the city noise and enjoy harbour views. Entry is free, and we visit the gardens on our Sydney Private Day Tour.
9. The Gap
The dip in the sandstone cliffs at South Head, offering amazing ocean views and sights of Sydney Harbour. It has been a major tourist destination since the beginning of European settlement. We visit The Gap during our Sydney Private Day Tour.
10. Vaucluse House
One of the few 19th-century harbourside estates retaining its original setting. This grand Gothic-style residence is surrounded by 26 acres of gardens and grounds, offering a glimpse into Sydney's colonial past. We visit during our Sydney Private Day Tour.
