Sydney with its cobbled courtyards, city lights on the water, restaurants and beaches – this is just a taste of what we experience on this tour.
We go on a Sydney City Tour ending with an afternoon visit to the famous Rocks Market. There is a choice of either taking a ferry to Garden Island in Sydney Harbour or going on a Boutique Wildlife Tour.
We visit the Blue Mountains National Park which is followed by a cruise on the Parramatta River to Circular Quay in the Harbour. We enjoy our final evening on the Captain’s Dinner Cruise around Sydney Harbour.
There will also be ample time to explore more of Sydney, take a trip outside the city or simply relax.
