The capital of New South Wales, Sydney is an iconic and instantly recognisable city perched on Australia’s East Coast. Shaped by outstanding beaches and waterways, an interwoven backdrop of Aboriginal and colonial histories, world‑famous landmarks, and a contemporary lifestyle, it welcomes you the moment you arrive. Sail into Sydney Harbour and step effortlessly into the rhythm of this harbour city, where sunlit coastline and neighbourhood charm create a sense of place from the very first moment. Whether you dock at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks or White Bay Cruise Terminal in Rozelle, your private tour begins the moment you cross the gangway. Whether you’re beginning a new chapter before hotel check‑in, typically at 2 pm, or savouring the city once more before finishing at the airport, make those hours count. Responsive, flexible, and curated to your appetite and onward plans, we’ll shape the day around you.

Historic Rocks

Start with drive through the historic Rocks precinct, a birthplace of the penal colony, and home to some of Australia’s oldest pubs. Learn about the first settlement and hear story of the notorious larrikin gangs dominating the area in late-18 hundreds.

City Icons

Pause under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and drive through some of the city first streets passing early architecture blended with modern skyscrapers. Stop at hand-picked vantage point and take in one of Sydney’s signature harbour panoramas, with sweeping views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House set against the city skyline and harbour foreshore.

Exclusive Eastern Suburbs

Continue through some of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in Sydney, heading from HMAS base at Woolloomooloo via the bustling Kings Cross, and exclusive Eastern Suburbs to the Gap – the only entry to Sydney Harbour. Enjoy short stroll with striking ocean and harbour views from top of the cliff to charming Watsons Bay.

Famous Bondi Beach

Mark, I think I’ve expressed to you how appreciative I am that you were our Tour Director in Australia. I realize how much hard work you did to keep things running smoothly. All the members of the group appreciated the special helpful things you did for them. For me, it was especially that fabulous last day tour. Your personality is special and great for a tour director. Take care and come visit us in the US one day. Sincerely,

Jean W

Dear Mark, thank you so much for such a wonderful trip! You were so helpful, friendly, and professional. We both appreciated you sharing your extensive knowledge about Australia. Your comments regarding Aboriginal culture were especially insightful! The course you took sounded fascinating. Thanks again!

Decided to take a tour of Sydney before we ventured on our own Hired Mark Wachtl www.wachtlaustralia.com.au. And it was great. Mark picked us up at the airport and took us all over the city and out to Bondi Beach where we stopped for lunch. We got an overall view of the city as well as some history. Mark was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a map when we finished the tour, circling where we had been and suggestions of where we might want to go. He said to call him if we had any questions. He’s a great guide and I would recommend him.

K Captain, Florida 2015

Dear Mark, it has been a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you a little bit. Thank you for your kindness, enthusiasm, cheery outlook and for sharing your knowledge with us. We have enjoyed our time in Australia immensely. We wish you well. If you are ever in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area – you have a place to stay. Fondly,

Lisa and Ray
