Itinerary

  1. Sydney

    3 hours

    Discover Sydney in absolute comfort in your private luxury Mercedes V-Class. With no other passengers and an expert local guide, you will explore both sides of the harbour. For half and full-day highlights, navigate the historic streets of The Rocks and pass bustling Circular Quay. Cruise the prestigious Eastern Suburbs to Watsons Bay for dramatic views of The Gap. No bespoke tour is complete without visiting world-famous Bondi Beach, followed by Paddington's trendy terrace-lined streets. For full-day exclusives, cross the Harbour Bridge to the North Shore for panoramic skyline views from North Head and the pine-lined shores of Manly. The Mercedes advantage means you can photograph the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge through your panoramic sunroof without leaving your seat.

  2. The Rocks

    Experience the historic heart of the harbor city with a luxury drive through The Rocks. This is where colonial Australia began, and today it is a stunning precinct of cobblestone laneways and heritage sandstone buildings.

    Historic Landmarks: View the iconic Cadman’s Cottage (Sydney's oldest residential building) and the Argyle Cut.

    Prime Photo Opportunities: We’ll pause at curated vantage points for spectacular, magazine-quality photos of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.

    Hidden Gems: Discover the unique "Nurses Walk" and the site of the First Fleet's arrival as your guide shares the captivating stories of convicts and early settlers.
