Best Tours & activities in Sydney (2026)

A good tour can show you sides of Sydney that are hard to discover alone. BridgeClimb leads guided climbs over the arch of the Harbour Bridge from its base in The Rocks, with options ranging from the Summit Climb to an Aboriginal-led storytelling climb. On the water, Captain Cook Cruises has operated harbour cruises since 1970, with sightseeing, hop-on hop-off and dining cruises departing from Circular Quay.

For an understanding of the city's First Nations heritage, Dreamtime Southern X runs a daily Aboriginal Dreaming walk through The Rocks, starting at Cadman's Cottage. I'm Free Walking Tours offers pay-what-you-feel walks through the city centre and The Rocks, which suit first-time visitors and budget travellers, while Bonza Bike Tours covers more ground by bike, including rides across the Harbour Bridge. Book tours in advance, especially in summer and during holiday periods, and check meeting points carefully, as most start in The Rocks or around Circular Quay. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection for outdoor tours.
