Overview
Forget the crowds and the rushed photo stops. I show you the Sydney I grew up loving - the harbour that still gives me goosebumps, and the beaches where Sydneysiders actually spend their Saturdays. We link it all in one perfect loop - Sydney Opera House & Forecourt, The Gap, Watsons Bay, and Bondi Beach including Ben Buckler Point - with no backtracking and plenty of time to actually enjoy it. I Don't Just Show You Bondi - I Show You Ben Buckler. Everyone goes to the middle of Bondi. I take you to the northern headland where the 235-tonne storm rock sits, where the Aboriginal carvings are hidden near the old vent tower, and where you get the entire 1km crescent in one photo with no crowds. That's the shot you won't get on a coach tour. No coach or large seated bus. We travel in a comfortable small vehicles, stop when you want a photo, stay longer where you love it
