Your informative and knowledgeable guide will collect you from your Sydney hotel as we commence our private journey of Sydney and its City Highlights and the little visited picturesque Northern Beaches. We begin in the Sydney old town (The Rocks) and CBD (Central Business District)for you to learn about the settling of Sydney, colonial convict history and the modern financially focussed skyscrapers. We visit Macquarie St and MrsMacquarie’s Chair where some of Sydney’s most historic sites and buildings are located as well as prime views of Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
From here, it is time to escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney city and crossing The Sydney Harbour Bridge we travel through picturesque Northern Suburbs as we make our way to the Northern Beaches Peninsula. Arriving via the lushly forested Wakehurst Parkway we join the coast at Warriewood Headland for stunning views and morning tea/coffee refreshments. Driving on, we follow the coastline and enjoying stunning beach views before arriving at the Long Reef Headland. Here time to stretch your legs and enjoy the walk to the lookout for spectacular coastal views.
Heading into the local suburb of Dee Why we head to the beachfront to enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the popular local restaurants. Here, with stunning beach views, we enjoy a delicious 2 course lunch of your choice off the menu, accompanied by a glass of beer, wine or soft drink. After lunch, we have time to enjoy a walk on the beach or perhaps enjoy a swim in the ocean! As we continue our exploration of local life in the Peninsula, we stop in at the iconic 4 Pines Brewery, where the machination of brewing meets the experience of drinking. 4 Pines Truck Bar is built inside the main brewery giving the customer the unique experience of drinking award-winning beer in the very place it is conceived and brewed. The bar is built of and around an old Dodge Truck and showcases 21 taps, including all our core range beers as well as rotating taps showcasing the large variety of small batch ‘Keller Door’ beers our brewery team produce. Here chat with the local bar tender as we enjoy a tasting paddle of a selection of Brews. Our final stop of the day is in the well-known beach suburb of Manly for time to walk the esplanade, stopping to watch a local beach volleyball game or observe the local surfers before a final pause at North Head for stunning views back across the Sydney harbour entrance to Sydney city.
From here you can choose to stay on in Manly – perhaps enjoy a sunset dinner at one of the harbour side restaurants/bars before returning to the city via ferry at your leisure/cost. Alternatively, your guide will drive you back to the city via Spit Bridge, Balmoral Beach and back roads through the exclusive and quaint north shore suburbs of Mosman, Cremorne and Neutral Bay to arrive back approximately 5.00-5.30pm.

The tour is well planned and covers the iconic landmarks in comfort and ease.
Really great experience, our guide Karyn was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. A well planned day. Thoroughly recommend trip.
One comment we would make is it would have been nice to have a 5 minute icebreaking introduction and interaction, just to get to know the other travellers on the minibus before we set off. We were a small group and it would have enhanced the day. One lady was on her own and while we were all friendly it would have helped her feel welcome from the outset.
It is difficult on a trip like this to chat much and while we are chatty and friendly people, it isnt always easy for the passengers to start a conversation. This 5 min introduction, who we were, where we were from just helps to bond a group of people together.
Our guide Helder, was so interesting, knowledgeable and humorous which made the trip all the more enjoyable.
Highlights were a farm with kangaroos, koalas, emus and many other favorites, waterfalls, Blue Mountains, a fantastic lunch (we had the delicious beef pie) and many other sites.
Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.
Not only was the tour amazing, but the food was absolutely spectacular.
Excellent, we loved it and the guide was fantastic, always available to explain everything with excellent general knowledge. I recommend him for his professionalism and friendliness.
We also took an all-day tour of the Blue Mountains with Larry, whose knowledge of the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the mountains is nothing short of spectacular. If you visit Sydney, take a tour with AEA. You will not regret it.
Give him a raise . We really saw a lot in one day , they provide lunch . Not only plants , botanical gardens , the farm with kangaroos, Koala, and more , the Grand Canyon , waterfalls . And cockatoos as wild all over . He made sure to explain everything and answer our questions. He was on time all day !
Karyn was great, very informative, and knowledgeable about her history.
Excellent lunch
Visited wildlife center with Koalas, kangaroo, pheasant, wombats and many other animals

Andy was courteous and informative. A luxury 14 people van for our small group. Impressive.
