Top Experiences
Walk the Bondi Coast
One of the world’s most iconic coastal walks. Clifftop views, hidden coves and the kind of scenery that makes you question why you ever lived anywhere else.
Discover the Harbour City
The shot everyone needs and the walk nobody forgets. Your guided morning takes you through 200 years of history at The Rocks before arriving at one of the most recognisable buildings on earth.
Take a ferry to Manly
Hop the harbour ferry between Sydney’s most beautiful waterside spots before arriving at the hidden harbour beach. Crystal clear water, soft sand and the kind of afternoon that makes you feel like a Sydney local from day one.
Sunset at Dudley Page
The locals’ favourite spot and one of the best sunsets in the city. Sit back, watch the sun drop over the Pacific and remind yourself this is actually your life now. Sydney’s best kept secret.

Your Sydney Itinerary
Meet & Greet
Day 1
Welcome to Sydney. Your flight’s done, for some of you the jet lag will be in full force, but tonight we’re not letting you spend your first day sitting in your room scrolling through your phone!? Meet your guide and your new travel family over a welcome dinner at one of Sydney’s best spots, then head up for rooftop drinks above the city skyline. This is how your Australian adventure begins.
Landing a few days before? No worries! Your airport pickup is included and can be arranged for any time on any day before the tour. Need extra nights accommodation? You can book these at checkout.
Discover the Harbour City
Day 2
Today we show you why Sydney is unlike anywhere else on earth. Your guided morning takes you through The Rocks – 200 years of history on cobblestone streets – past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge before opening up into the buzz of Darling Harbour.
The afternoon will be spent learning about the world’s oldest continuous civilisation, with an Aboriginal Cultural Tour and by evening, you’ll be tucked into Spice Alley, Sydney’s best kept laneway dining secret.
Your Day, Your Way
Day 3
Today is your opportunity to get out of the city and tick off an iconic slice of Australia right on Sydney’s doorstep. You and your group can add on a guided day trip to the Blue Mountains – towering cliffs, ancient rainforest and the iconic Three Sisters, just 90 minutes from the city and one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country. Add it on at checkout when booking this tour.
Not doing the Blue Mountains? Sydney is still yours to explore. Your guide will set you up with a list of recommendations for places outside your itinerary – new beaches, neighbourhoods and hidden gems to discover on your own terms, with or without your group.
And if you’re on a Working Holiday Visa, everything you need is in your FREE optional Welcome Pack to read in your own time. Your Welcome Pack includes everything you need to hit the ground running in Australia. Think TFN (that’s for your tax), bank account setup and an employment webinar. If you want to go deeper on anything, a 1-on-1 with a member of our team is available whenever suits you – today, tomorrow or any time during your stay in Sydney. Add your Welcome Pack to your booking for free at checkout and keep it for your entire time in Australia.
Coogee to Bondi & Dudley Page
Day 4
One of the world’s great coastal walks – six beaches, clifftop views and the Pacific stretching out as far as you can see. We start at Coogee and walk the iconic trail all the way to Bondi, finishing the day at Dudley Page Reserve for a sunset picnic above the ocean. Honestly one of those days where you’ll stop mid-walk and just laugh at how good life is right now.
A trip to Bondi wouldn’t be complete without a stopover at Yo-Chi. Yes this is the best invention Australia has ever created. Yes we will be indulging till our hearts content. Who knew frozen yoghurt could steal our hearts like this!?
Ferry to Manly
Day 5
This might be your last day, but we’re saving the best for last. The ferry ride to Manly is one of those Sydney experiences that stops you in your tracks – the Opera House gliding past, the Harbour Bridge overhead, the city skyline stretching out behind you as the open water opens up ahead. Thirty minutes that feel like the best postcard you’ve ever been inside.
Once we arrive into Manly, our first stop HAS to be Butterboy for what might be the best cookie you’ve ever had – trust us on this one. Then Manly is yours to explore. Walk the Manly Wormhole, discover the hidden gem that is Shelly Beach, pick up something you didn’t know you needed in Ghanda and finish the day with your toes in the sand.
