Welcome to Sydney

Enjoy 10 of the BEST private tours starting in 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 and shore excursions.

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.

Because our tours are completely private, they are fully customisable to your schedule. Each itinerary includes a recommended default start time chosen to avoid heavy traffic and peak tourist crowds for a more relaxed, intimate experience. However, if you prefer a different time, we are happy to adjust. This flexibility is ideal for cruise passengers needing tailored shore excursions aligned with their port schedule – look for the “Ideal Shore Excursion” icon on eligible tours.

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

To identify the right tour or activity for you, use the symbols as a guide.

Shore Excursion

Shore excursions are land-based tours and activities for cruise passengers while docked at a port of call.
Cruise passengers are among our most valued guests, and we fully appreciate the strict schedules and time constraints of port visits. To ensure a seamless experience, our shore excursions are specifically tailored to cruise travellers:

  • Flexible Timing: Pick-up and drop-off times are fully customisable to fit your ship’s schedule.

  • Appropriate Duration: Shore excursions should not be too short and cannot be longer than time allocated in port. 
  • Convenient Terminal Access: We offer direct pick-up and drop-off at both Circular Quay and White Bay cruise terminals.

Considering the above tour  characteristics we have short listed what we believe would make an ideal shore excursion. However, the ultimate decision as to which tour you take is entirely up to you where you are a cruise passenger or not.

Secret Sydney 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 Secret Sydney 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. You’ll see the famous Harbour Bridge and Sydney CBD from a perspective very few get to see. The second location will have you wandering through the rugged headlands of Middle Head, where panoramic harbour vistas meet historic military sites reclaimed by nature. The third location will have you stepping 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.
Commonly encountered on this nature tour is the Australian water dragon, a resident colony of flying foxes roosting in the trees of the Secret Garden, Australian brush turkeys scratching through the leaf litter, mud crabs, a variety of native Australian birds, rabbits and hares, as well as various fresh water fish.

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

Escape the city hustle and immerse yourself in lush coastal rainforests, native wildlife, and sweeping ocean vistas on this 7-hour journey with 69 Tours. The main attraction is a two hour visit to the Symbio Wildlife Park, home to over 500 animals from Australia and around the world. The return journey is scenic and memorable with the key highlight being the magnificent Royal National Park – the world’s second-oldest national park, combining iconic scenic lookouts, and hidden park sanctuaries.

Kick off your day near Botany Bay with an exciting stop at a beachside vantage point, watching massive international aircraft pass low overhead as they land and depart. One of the few places in the world with access to such a vantage point of a runway of such a major international airport. Just over an hour later you will reach one of the key attractions of the tour – Symbio Wildlife Park. Your entry is paid for so you just need to focus on getting up close with Australia’s unique native fauna. Hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies in the immersive walk-through enclosures and enjoy the sights of koalas, alongside an array of exotic animals in a lush, family-friendly setting.
The return home will leave an unforgettable memory as you take in spectacular, uninterrupted panoramas of the Illawarra coastline, watching hand-gliders soar off the cliffs above the famous Sea Cliff Bridge. The scenic drive will allow you to experience a tranquil, coast-meets-canopy environment as you wind through dense, subtropical rainforest corridors filled with towering cabbage-tree palms. This is the Royal National Park, and you will drive through the heart of it surrounded by pristine bushland, native eucalyptus trees, and deep sandstone valleys. Pause at a historic heritage precinct nestled along the Hacking River. Relax in this scenic riverside haven, surrounded by ancient trees and local birdlife. The drive through this natural wonderland will be concluded with a gentle, accessible walk to Bungoona Lookout for sweeping views out over the Hacking River valley and the expansive green canopy of the park.
By now, you’ll have worked up an appetite, and we have the perfect Aussie tradition lined up to satisfy it. On the approach to Sydney we stop at the iconic Harry’s Cafe de Wheels, where you can indulge in a legendary “Hot Dog ‘de Wheels'” or famous Tiger Pie.

The Royal Nature Tour is a refreshing, scenic, and immersive experience ideal for nature lovers, families, and travellers wanting to discover Australia’s iconic flora and fauna in locations that few get to visit.

Travel Planning
for the independent traveller

For as little as $49.95 we can ensure your travel plan is realistic and optimal for your travel needs. We know Australia well, and there could be small details which you may not have considered, or locations and places that you may not know about. With our input you might want to add these to your travel itinerary.

If, on the other hand, you have no idea about what to see or do, then we can help you by developing a basic travel plan, or one that is comprehensive with details about locations, accommodation and transport options in different parts of Australia. 

We think paying as little as $49.95 to get expert advice to get you closer to an ideal holiday is a great investment.
