Highlights / General details
Today you’ll see some of the best sights that this beautiful harbor city has to offer. Your local Australian Driver/Guide will provide expert commentary as you weave your way through the bustling city streets to key landmarks.
Situated at the very base of the Harbor Bridge, the Rocks is a lively and popular spot for locals and visitors alike. In a time long ago, the area was inhabited by the indigenous Gadigal people, before the first European settlers claimed the land in 1788.
Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair sits high on the peninsula known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Point. The chair is an exposed sandstone rock that was hand carved into a bench by convicts in 1810. It is said that Mrs. Macquarie, the wife of the then New South Wales Governor, was known to visit the area to take in the views.
From Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair you’ll get a birds-eye view of arguably the most recognizable icon in the world, the Sydney Opera House. This World Heritage listed building is considered a masterpiece of late modern architecture and a world class performing arts venue.
