Private Tour: See Sydney Like a Local

About this activity
Your private tour begins when you’re picked up from your hotel in a classic 1964 EH Holden -- it’s the Australian version of being chauffeured in a vintage Cadillac!
Your private guide will then take you on a drive through central Sydney, to take a walk through the city’s indigenous enclave, Redfern. Here you’ll gain insights into Sydney’s Aboriginal population, and visit an inner-city terrace, built in 1876. You’ll also see examples of Sydney’s contemporary art in this bohemian part of the city.
Then head to the beach to experience Sydney’s relaxed surfer lifestyle, and take a walk along the sand on Waverley’s rugged coastline. The photo opportunities keep coming when your local guide reveals a secret location for the best views combining Sydney’s city, beach and bush, where exclusive homes nestle beside the harbor.
Touring Sydney in a restored 1964 EH Holden is a unique way to get around, allowing you to see the city from a local’s viewpoint. Your passionate Sydneysider guide also takes you beneath the surface of Sydney’s colonial and indigenous history to reveal a secret, local side to the city that most visitors never experience.
Tour and Upgrade Options
You have a choice of two different Sydney tours. The half-day and full-day Sydney tour include the above sites and activities.

I've given this 5 stars but only because that's the maximum allowed. If I could I'd have given it 10. This tour was one of the best experiences I've ever had anywhere and all I can say to anyone thinking of booking it is DO IT! Well worth every penny we paid. The car is beautiful and our guide, Richard, took us to parts of Sydney we'd never have seen otherwise and gave us a real insight into Australian history and culture. Honestly, I can't overstate how good this was. At the end of the tour my partner and I came away feeling like we'd spent the morning, not with a tour guide but with a new friend. Wonderful.
This was a truly memorable tour. Our guide Richard was absolutely amazing. We learned so much about the city, its history, culture, neighborhoods, and its diversity. Richard knew so much about Sydney and we really came out from this tour having learned so much more. I would highly recommend this tour and Richard to anyone visiting Sydney. It is an absolute must!
Great trip, thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our tour driver was a wealth of information.
Richard Graham took us places we could not see on bus and boat tours and stopped to give us the opportunity to take pictures. It was the tour we enjoyed the most. It is also the tour we recommended to friends going to Sydney later this year. This was the best! Gerald and Mary Eskelund
