Welcome to Sydney

Enjoy 6 of the BEST private tours of Sydney with a local tour guide and 69 Tours.

Private tours of Sydney

In 2026, we proudly welcome Sydney as a flagship destination in the 69 Tours portfolio—an iconic region where we are expanding a world‑class collection of private touring experiences.

Sydney is the tourism capital of Australia: a glamorous harbour city overflowing with culture, natural beauty, and unforgettable attractions. From its glittering skyline to its legendary beaches, Sydney offers endless opportunities for discovery—and we’ve crafted tours that reveal the city at its most captivating.

But Sydney is more than a destination; it’s the gateway to extraordinary regions. Within easy reach lie the Blue Mountains, a UNESCO‑listed wilderness of dramatic cliffs and ancient forests, and Wollongong, the vibrant coastal steel city to the south. Both are essential chapters in any traveller’s Australian story, and our tours bring them to life with depth, style, and insider knowledge.

Our growing portfolio of private and small‑group Sydney experiences is designed for curious travellers who want more than sightseeing—they want meaning, storytelling, and the thrill of discovering the real city. If the forecast hints at rain, don’t worry. Several of our signature tours have been specifically engineered to shine in any weather, ensuring your adventure continues uninterrupted.

Sydney is ready. The regions beyond are waiting. And 69 Tours is here to take you there—privately, comfortably, and with unforgettable flair.

Special Interest Tours

Interactive tours where guests become part of the experience. Tours that are fun, unusual and sometimes a little daring. They are best suited for guests who seek something a little different from a tour.

Nature Tours

Our nature tours are built around a nature theme, allowing guests to interact with Australian wildlife as well as experience forests, bush and other Australian natural wonders.

Sightseeing Tours

The traditional “tourist” tours which are more passive in nature. These tours are best suited for the conservative guest who wants to check out some great sights, take lots of photos, but do so in a private setting.

Sydney Secrets Nature Tour

Discover Sydney’s Hidden Wild Side on a Private 5‑Hour Nature Escape.

Step beyond the city’s famous icons and slip into the quiet, untouched corners of Sydney that only locals know. The Sydney Secret Nature Tour is a private, five‑hour immersion into the city’s most beautiful and little‑known natural sanctuaries—places where wildlife thrives, harbour views unfold in silence, and ancient landscapes tell stories older than the city itself.

Drift into the enchanting Secret Garden, a tucked‑away oasis bursting with colour, tranquillity and hidden pathways. Wander through the rugged headlands of Middle Head, where panoramic harbour vistas meet historic military sites reclaimed by nature. Step into the atmospheric mangroves at Boronia Park, a thriving ecosystem alive with the sounds of native birds and the scent of salt and earth. Finally, follow the shoreline trails of a local park, where mangroves, birdlife and calm waters create a serene escape from the urban rush and discover the last remains of Aboriginal art and engravings.

Throughout the journey, your private guide reveals the stories, species and secrets that make each location special. With no crowds, no rush, and no well‑trodden tourist paths, this tour offers a rare chance to experience Sydney as a living, breathing natural wonder.

Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, families, and anyone seeking a deeper, more intimate connection with Sydney’s wild beauty.

Sydney Drive by Day

Skip the crowded tour buses and navigate Sydney’s most picturesque vantage points in total comfort. Experience Sydney beyond the usual tourist trail on this exclusive, three-hour private drive, which includes plenty of opportunities for photos stops and toilet breaks. Designed for travelers who appreciate stunning harbor vistas, rich history, and the distinct personality of Sydney’s vibrant neighborhoods, this tailored journey showcases the city’s iconic landmarks and serene coastal pockets in comfort and style.

Driving over the Harbour Bridge the first exit will take you to Milsons Point, a location which provides unparalleled, postcard-perfect views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Before the first stop a quick looping tour around Kirribilli is a must before taking a break at the ultimate spot to snap breathtaking photos right from the harbour’s edge. In the vacinity you have Luna Park.
The drive continues through the bustling streets and elegant architecture of North Sydney through and the leafy suburbs of what is known as the Lower North Shore. The route will take you over numerous bridges which cross the harbour high enough to see the Sydney skyline in the distance.
Before returning home over the ANZAC Bridge we take a detour through historic Balmain and East Balmain to explore the area’s charming, village-style atmosphere. Meander down leafy streets lined with restored Victorian terraces, boutique storefronts, and cozy heritage pubs, ending with sweeping, secluded views of the harbor skyline from East Balmain’s quiet waterfront reserves.

This introductory tour to Sydney is ideal for first-time visitors wanting a fast-track, comprehensive intro to Sydney, or returning travelers looking to discover scenic harborside suburbs.
