Oh Sydney, why are you so pretty? Picking the sights on your private day tour can be a difficult task. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and there is so much to see. To make your life a little easier, as you know we love to do, we’ve assembled a list of places we love to take our guests on during our private Sydney bus tours. Here are the must-see sightseeing locations that you won’t want to miss!
The Classics: The Opera House and Harbour Bridge
Well, you can’t really visit Sydney without having a stopover at these two Sydney classics. The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are just as iconic as they are beautiful to look at. We take almost our private Sydney bus tour guests to this location. There is truly no better reminder that Sydney is Australia’s most beautiful city than visiting these two spectacular sights. You won’t be disappointed, we can guarantee that!
A visit to Sydney is not complete without visiting its classics.
The Best View At Lady Macquarie’s Chair
Do you really want to see both the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge from one of its most iconic viewpoints? Ask to include a visit to Lady Macquarie’s Chair on your private bus tour. Located on the other side of Sydney’s famous Royal Botanic Gardens, it provides one of the best views in the city!

See the Action at Bondi Beach
Ah, Bondi Beach, what a beauty you are! Bondi Beach is Australia’s most famous beach by a landslide. It’s the perfect beach in many ways. It has soft waves that are just high enough to surf on that are meticulously lined by soft yellow sand that can always be found full of good-looking locals. Some would even say that the inhabitants of Bondi are just as beautiful as the beach they live in. It’s definitely worth heading over to Bondi to have a look at all of this beauty!

Local’s Favourite: Blackwattle Bay
Blackwattle Bay at Glebe’s foreshore is one of our favourite stops as not many tourists make their way there. Glebe is one of Sydney’s inner-western suburbs full of delicious restaurants and it’s also right along the waters of Blackwattle Bay. Why do we love this place so much? The view! Especially at sunset and in the evening, Blackwattle Bay offers a pretty light-filled view of Anzac Bridge and the city of Sydney. It’s the perfect spot to end a day of sightseeing with a group of friends and a few drinks!

Try a Craft Brew in Sydney’s hippest suburb, Newtown
Newtown is Sydney’s version of Brooklyn, New York. Plenty of vintage shops, great restaurants with food from all over the world, arguably the best street style in the city and lots and lots of delicious craft beer! Sydneysiders (as the locals are called) flock to Newtown and its surrounding suburbs Marrickville, St Peters, Erskineville, etc, every single weekend. It’s the place to be for an Insta-worthy brunch, for the best vintage outfits or for a night out. We take Sydney locals on a craft beer tour every single week, we bet you would love it too!
Sydney is So Much More!
These five locations are just a few of our highlights. Sydney is so much more than a few sightseeing locations, it is also the perfect city to take part in an almost endless list of activities.
