Overview

Hire your own private tour guide and driver for a half or full day in Sydney. There is no set itinerary and prior to your departure, your guide will create a bespoke itinerary for you or your group. Sit back and relax or choose an active day with plenty of time outside of the vehicle as your experienced guide showcases you this world class city. You will be picked up and dropped off from the airport, cruise port or local hotel. In addition to local city tours, your guide can take you on day trips outside of the city to hotspots such as the Blue Mountains or Hunter Valley wineries.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
