our story
Your Hosts
Allow us to introduce ourselves, we are Scott and Julia, founders of Sydney Private Day Tours.
We are 'Born & Bred' Sydneysiders with a passion to provide memorable private tours that showcase the stunning natural beauty, vibrancy, fascinating history, fabulous food and wine, and the wonderful uniqueness of our home-town, Sydney.
Having both travelled extensively for business and leisure it had been a long-held dream to give up our busy, corporate careers and start doing what we really loved - In December 2016 we took the leap of faith, walked away from our careers and started Sydney Private Day Tours!
Our families have been in Australia for many generations, since early settlement with close ties to the land, farming and to rural Australia. (We are even proud to say that we have some convict ancestors too!)
We have a deep love of this beautiful continent, and of Australia's ancient Indigenous Culture spanning 60,000 years!
We have spent many years exploring our capital cities, rural towns and remote outback desert areas. When we are not guiding tours...We travel! This gives us an understanding of the expectations our clients have for memorable experiences and exceptional service.
We are incredibly lucky to be able to share this city with our tour guests and really hope that we can contribute to making your holiday extra special. We believe we are setting new, high standards in the Sydney Private Tour sector and we will continue to maintain and build on those high standards.
We would love to show you the very best of Sydney and some fabulous hidden 'local secret’ locations too!
Warm Regards and Happy Travels
Scott & Julia
What to expect
It's not just about the stunning city, beautiful beaches, blue mountains or fabulous food and wine.....Comfort of our guests is also of the utmost importance, we ensure our tour vehicles are all current model, comfortable and in immaculate condition for every tour.

"We had a wonderful day and our host Scott was amazing. Scott was very knowledgeable and was able to take us to a lot of amazing places for excellent views of Sydney, Bondi Beach, Manley Beach, Harry's for lunch and even a party at the Harbour Bridge. We were served fruit, biscuits and juice by the water and were given a history lesson on some of the nearby buildings. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanted to see Sydney."

"This tour was everything I wanted it to be ! The pick up and returning me back to my hotel set this tour apart from others, and the option to customize was fantastic. Julia my guide was gracious and the city was beautiful. All in all just the best."
Cheryl Carter, Irvine CA
"From initial contact to a day of exception touring I highly recommend Sydney Private Day Tours. Very informative, flexible & lots of laughs along the way with the beautiful sights of Sydney to be seen. A famous pie from Harries to the fireworks at Sydney Harbour Bridge- what more could a visitor ask for. Your professionalism, Julia, is to be highly recommended & I'll see you in the NT for sure."
Maryann Lewis, Darwin, Northern Territory
