This combined tour in Sydney lasts about six hours and includes a morning bus sightseeing tour followed by a two-hour lunch cruise on the harbour. The small-group bus tour is limited to 14 people and uses air-conditioned Mercedes minibuses with leather reclining seats. It starts with a drive through The Rocks, where you can see well-preserved buildings from Sydney’s early European settlement and convict era. Next, the tour stops at Dawes Point Park for about 20 minutes to take in close-up views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, including a short walk along the harbour edge. The bus then travels through Sydney’s affluent Eastern Suburbs, passing Double Bay, Rose Bay, and Watsons Bay. There are photo stops at locations with panoramic city views. Weather permitting, there is a short walk at Watsons Bay to view the harbour entrance from the Pacific Ocean before heading south to Bondi Beach. You will have 30 minutes of free time at Bondi to walk the promenade or relax on the sand. On the return trip, the bus passes through Paddington, known for its Victorian terrace houses and boutique shops. The tour continues through Chinatown and the early market district to Darling Harbour, where you’ll stop for a short walk and learn about the area’s history and transformation into an entertainment district. The bus then takes you to Circular Quay’s Eastern Pontoon to board the Sydney Princess vessel for a two-hour harbour lunch cruise. The cruise includes a buffet lunch and beverages with live commentary. The ship holds up to 80 passengers and returns to the same pontoon at the end of the cruise.
