Best Sydney Tours & Trips

This glittering metropolis invites visitors to stroll through endless stretches of green, lounge on one of several impeccable beaches - each with its own distinct personality - chomp on some of the most scrumptious food in the Antipodes, and then slowly make their way to the pubs for a half-pint of Australia's finest. In Sydney, lunch break is the perfect time to take a dip, Friday night officially begins at 3 p.m., and weekends are for surfing and boating. In other words, no time is a bad time for some serious R&R. For those intent on seeing the sights, join a wide selection of Sydney tours and head directly to the iconic Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens, The Rocks, Circular Quay, and of course, Sydney Harbour Bridge. Any of the worthwhile Australia tours requires a stop in this fantastic city to discover all the best things to do in Sydney, from sightseeing its iconic Sydney attractions to explore its lively nightlife.

Sydney and Beyond

Best Things to Do in Sydney

Of the many great things to do in Sydney, a must is a visit to its thriving Harbour. Your knowledgeable local tour guide will fill you in on the harbor’s rich history as you spend the day roaming its many tourist attractions. Reserve your seat for a show at the world-famous Sydney Opera House or make the adventurous trek up to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

From the Harbour House your Sydney sightseeing tour can lead you into The Rocks, Sydney’s oldest neighborhood and keeper of many of its darkest secrets! Join one of the lively Sydney walking tours and find out about the special significance of The Rocks to Australia’s earliest inhabitants on a Dreaming Aboriginal Heritage tour.

Learn how The Rocks got its name while you try to catch the next glimpse of the remnants of Sydney’s past. Some of the laneways you will walk through might not even show up on a Sydney map, but your experienced guide knows all the alleyways and the fantastic stories that go with them.

After you’ve gotten your fill of Sydney’s rich history, head to its most famous beach, Bondi, and catch some of the best surfing action in the world! Sydney beaches are simply spectacular and it’s an awesome experience to ride the waves out on one of these stunning beaches.

Possibly the best Sydney beach for surfing is the pristine Bondi Beach. Watch the locals and tourists have a roaring good time out in the playful waters of the Pacific Ocean. Feel free to join in – and don’t worry if you can’t surf (yet), you can sign up for surfing lessons as a part of your tour package.

Enjoy an Exhilarating Hike in the Blue Mountains

Day tours from Sydney are always a fun-filled part of Sydney tours. If you are a fan of the great outdoors then a day trip hiking in the scenic Blue Mountains was designed just for you! So, reach for your camera and your hiking boots then hop aboard a modern Sydney tours bus out to the Blue Mountains with your professional tour guide.

See wild kangaroos in their natural habitat and stop by breathtaking waterfalls for a short rest. Examine Aboriginal rock carvings and marvel at the stunning Three Sisters rock formation while your guide fills you in on the legends that surround it.

Sydney and Beyond

As the gateway to Australia, Sydney will not only be your introduction to the country-continent but also your first step to explore its major cities.

You can easily head south to Australia’s sporting capital on a 2 day tour from Sydney to Melbourne while learning about the High Country of Australia. Upon arrival in Melbourne you can stop by the intriguing Melbourne Museum or pay a visit to the fascinating Melbourne Aquarium. At the end of the day spend some time enjoying refreshing Australian beer at a rooftop bar.

Or, you can head up coast to Byron Bay, Brisbane and Cairns on one of the fun-filled Great Barrier Reef tours from Sydney. It’s a snorkeler’s paradise with chances for fun and excitement for everyone.

As you make your way out to the reef, it is very likely that your tour will stop in picturesque Byron Bay where the coastline seems to go on forever! Historic Brisbane is up next where you can view many exotic examples of Australia’s wildlife on a visit to the Australia Zoo – legacy of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter.

When you get to Cairns, join an incredible, luxury cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef. Walk on the ocean’s floor as you go helmet diving or snorkel through the spectacular coral reefs accompanied by beautiful tropical fish.

Best Time to Visit Sydney

Winter 2026/2027
Winter brings the coolest period of the year in Sydney, though “cool” is relative - daytime highs typically reach the high teens to low-20s °C (mid-60s to low-70s °F), while nights can dip toward single digits inland but remain mild by northern-hemisphere standards. Rainfall is moderate year-round, though winter months may carry slightly more overcast days. This season suits visitors looking for quieter sightseeing around the glorious harbour vistas, indoor cultural indulgence in the Opera House or museums, and cosy cafés in shoulder-season calm. A particularly memorable experience is watching the fireworks at New Year’s Eve over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House before the full summer crush sets in. On the fringes of the city, you can enjoy brisk hikes in the Blue Mountains, spotting waterfalls at their peak flow, or take scenic harbour cruises in cooler, clearer air. Beach time is less of a swim-and-sun affair, but a Bondi-to-Manly tram ride, coastal stroll and seaside brunch retain their appeal.

Spring 2026
In spring, Sydney begins to warm as daytime highs climb from around 21 °C (70 °F) in March toward the low-20s °C by May, with nights still comfortably cool. Rainfall eases from its summer peak and clear, crisp days become more frequent - perfect for being outdoors. This period is ideal for strolling along the iconic Bondi Beach or Manly Beach, cycling around Sydney Harbour and its bridge, and exploring gardens awash in jacaranda blossoms and wildflowers across the city’s parks. With swell still inviting surfers and swimmers at the beaches, visitors can also venture further to the Blue Mountains for awakening bushland, early wildflower blooms and cooler mountain air. The crowds are lighter than in summer, making it a great window to sample local café-culture in the Inner West or Riverside walks by the harbour without the high-season rush.

Summer 2026
Summer in Sydney - running June through August in the Southern Hemisphere - is a time of longer days, warm sea breezes and balmy evenings. Daytime highs typically hover in the low to mid-20s °C (70s °F) with occasional warmth pushing into the high-20s, while ocean waters around the coast climb toward the low-20s °C, making swimming and surfing inviting. This season brings beach-momentum: think early morning surf at Bondi, snorkelling around the offshore reefs, sunset drinks at Darling Harbour or rooftop bars with views of the mighty Sydney Opera House. Day trips to the Royal National Park or kayaking in the harbour are excellent under clear skies. Nights are warm and vibrant, with al-fresco dining on terrace patios and late-night ferry rides. That said, this is also peak travel time, so accommodation and attractions may be busier and prices higher. For a respite from the city buzz, take the ferry to Watsons Bay to enjoy seaside tranquillity or explore the coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte in the soft evening light.

Autumn 2026
Autumn ushers in a mellower Sydney climate - temperatures gradually ease from the early-week highs of around 24 °C (75 °F) in September to nearer 20 °C (68 °F) by November, with crisp mornings and comfortable afternoons. Humidity drops, skies clear, and the light turns golden - ideal for walking the cliff-tops at Watsons Bay or the coastal trail from Bondi to Coogee. This is also the season when whales begin their migration along the coast, so heading out on a harbour cruise or returning to the sea cliffs at North Head brings rewarding sightings. With fewer tourists than in summer, you’ll savour quieter museum visits in the city centre, wine-tasting day-trips in the nearby Hunter Valley, or scenic drives toward the Blue Mountains with crisp air and russet-tinged bushland. Early November still retains warmth for outdoor dining and ferry rides, with the bonus of shoulder-season rates and friendlier availability.

14-Day Australia Explorer Tour from Sydney: Cairns, Darwin and Melbourne | Blue Mountains | Great Barrier Reef | Great Ocean Road | Flexible Independent Travel

Australia Explorer Tour

Inside Australia travel really made our travel plans much easier, love the app and especially Jasmine was very helpful with perfect choices of accommodations and recommendations to meet our budget. I really enjoyed our trip the only minus was the rainy weather for the last couple of days of the trip. I hope we can come back at summer or spring soon. Will definitely use your service again and recommend to other travelers. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience.

19-Day New Zealand & Australia Tour: Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown, Sydney, Uluru and Cairns

This tour was an absolute highlight of my travels.

The itinerary was well-balanced between action-packed days and moments of relaxation. Rotorua’s Maori culture and Cairns’ Great Barrier Reef snorkeling were experiences I’ll never forget.

Every day was packed with adventure and beauty.

I loved learning about Aboriginal culture at Uluru and enjoying the panoramic landscapes at the Valley of the Winds. The Blue Mountains were a personal highlight, with stunning vistas and fresh mountain air.
