Private tours from Sydney NSW

Led by a guide with private touring experience across New South Wales since 2009, our journeys are built entirely around what you want to experience, at your own pace.

Whether it's the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Canberra, Jervis Bay, or a multi-day road trip through regional Australia, you set the pace and we guide you through it.

Touring Your Way!

Your Day Your Way

We collect you door-to-door from your Sydney hotel, cruise terminal or airport at a time that suits you — no meeting points, no waiting around. From there the day is yours: you set the pace, choose what matters, and change your mind as you go. Your driver-guide handles the driving, the logistics and the local knowledge, so all you do is enjoy it.

Blue Mountains

"It was clear the day was ours to plan however we wanted — he offered different options for how to structure our day. The van was clean and comfortable. I'm glad we went this route rather than a tour bus."

Blue Mountains

I have joined the 2D1N private tour from Escape Scenes for Blue Mountains. Our tour guide Dave (David Edwards) is amazing; his informative and interesting guide is making the whole trip fruitful and meaningful, apart from just driving and drop off, but bringing us many good stories and knowledge of Australia.

Exceeded Our High Expectations

David was incredible- he customized the trip just for us. Even though it was a rainy day, we still had a great time and saw everything we wanted to see. He was very accommodating and had a wealth of knowledge about the Blue Mountains. Highly recommend!.

Half Day Blue Mountains

Enquired about a 6-hour half day tour to the Blue Mountains for 2 pax online. David was quick to respond and communicate via email and then WhatsApp. On the actual day, the pick up from the airport was seamless. Vehicle was clean and spacious. David is a safe driver and a marvellous guide. He first took us to a local deli for a wholesome meal. He then took us to beautiful places away from the crowds, as per our request.

Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, lets try to answer those, these are some of the most commonly asked questions we receive regarding our tours.

How does a private tour work?

We collect you door-to-door from your Sydney hotel, cruise terminal or airport at a time that suits you — no meeting points, no waiting around. From there the day is yours: you set the pace, choose what matters, and change your mind as you go. Your driver-guide handles the driving, the logistics and the local knowledge, so all you do is enjoy it.

What Are The Best Day Trips From Sydney?

It depends what you're after. The Blue Mountains deliver dramatic escarpment views and rainforest walks within 90 minutes of the city. The Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest wine region, two hours north. Canberra suits history and gallery visits, while Kiama and the Southern Highlands combine coastline and countryside. We run all of them as fully private tours.

What Does a Private Tour Cost In Sydney?

Pricing follows a tiered structure — a base price covers your group up to a set size, with a per-person fee for each additional guest. That means it gets better value the more people you bring, and a family or small group often pays less per head than they'd expect. Full pricing sits on each tour page, and we're happy to talk it through by email or WhatsApp before you commit.

Do you offer extended or multi-day private charters?

Yes. Alongside day tours we run extended multi-day tours across New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Queensland — from Mount Kosciuszko to longer road trips through regional Australia. These are quoted individually rather than booked from a calendar, since routes, timing and overnight stops are built around your plans. Get in touch with rough dates and we'll put an itinerary together.

Are Your Tours Completely Private?

Yes — our private tours are exclusive to your group. You'll never share the vehicle with strangers, never wait while other passengers are collected, and never follow an itinerary built around someone else's preferences. Up to 7 guests travel together, and the vehicle, the driver-guide and the day belong to your group alone.

Can you customise an itinerary for our group beyond your listed tours?

Absolutely — the listed tours are starting points, not fixed packages. If you want to combine destinations, add a stop, skip something, or build a day around a specific interest like photography, wine or wildlife, we'll work it out with you before you book. Tell us what you're hoping to see and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits in the time available.

Where do you pick up from, and how far do you travel?

Pickups are door-to-door from Sydney CBD hotels, the cruise terminals and Sydney Airport. Day tours cover destinations within a few hours of Sydney, while extended tours range across New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Queensland. If you're staying outside the CBD, mention it when booking and we'll confirm whether we can collect you.

How far in advance should we book?

Earlier is better, particularly for school holidays, long weekends and the December to February peak, when weekend dates go first. That said, we can often accommodate short-notice bookings — including same-day arrivals — so it's worth asking even if your dates are close. Extended multi-day tours need more lead time, since routes and accommodation are arranged around your itinerary.

No Strangers Just Your Group

Our private tours are yours alone — your group in the vehicle and nobody else. Stop when you want, stay as long as you like.

Flexible Itineraries

Your itinerary flexes around you. Want longer at a lookout, or a different stop altogether? We make it happen on the day.
