The Experience

Private Hotel Pickup & Return

We collect you directly from your Sydney hotel and return you at the end of the day. Private vehicle, unhurried pace, and a seamless start and finish — no meeting points, no logistics to manage.

Breakfast at Bills Bondi

Start the day as Bondi locals do — with excellent coffee, ocean air, and the iconic avocado toast. This celebrated breakfast spot is known for its fresh, wholesome menu and its legendary ricotta hotcakes, now a hallmark of contemporary Australian dining.

Get up close to native Australian wildlife

During the tour, guests can visit a hands-on Featherdale Wildlife Park, dedicated to the care and conservation of Australia’s native animals. It’s a relaxed, up-close experience where you can see kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and other iconic species in a natural setting, while learning about their role in Australia’s unique ecosystem.

Iconic Landscapes & Breathtaking Views

Discover the Blue Mountains through roads less travelled and thoughtfully chosen vantage points, combining scenic drives with a walk to Wentworth Falls. This localised experience reveals the scale, beauty, and character of the region in a natural, unhurried way. A basic level of fitness is required for the walking component.

Dryridge Estate – Wine & Cheese Experience

A visit to Dryridge Estate in the Megalong Valley, including a glass of local wine and a cheese platter, hosted in a stunning rural setting.

Stories worth telling

What our clients say

Matt picked us up and we went for breakfast at Bondi before going to an amazing butcher shop and then the fish market where he got lunch and dinner. We had the most fantastic time visiting a native animal sanctuary before an incredible walk at the Blue Mountains where we later had a champagne lunch with views to take your breath away. We visited other sites before going to Dryridge Winery for wine tasting and to our surprise Matt bbq’d the steak to accompany. There were so many highlights and excellent thoughtful touches. We had a day we won’t forget!

From the communication prior to the tour to the continued assistance post-trip, Matt is much more than just a guide. We started with a gourmet Australian “brekky” and a tour of Bondi Beach before hitting the Sydney Fish Market for an incredible seafood display. We visited a wildlife park to see exotic animals before heading to the Blue Mountains for a spectacular hike. Matt prepared a fresh seafood lunch with champagne, followed by wine tasting and charcuterie. He even secured us a difficult dinner reservation back in the city. Truly a highly recommended VIP service!

We had a wonderful day tour starting at the Sydney Fish Market followed by a stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park to see kangaroos, koalas, and wombats. Once in the Blue Mountains, Matt surprised us with a beautiful park lunch he prepared personally. As a professional sommelier, he even selected a special wine to pair perfectly with the food! We finished with a private winery tasting. Matt was spectacular, professional, and so knowledgeable about Sydney. He even provided great suggestions for our next stop in Hobart. If you are heading to Sydney, book Matt!

When an experience is so good that you rearrange your entire trip five years later just to book with Matt again, you know he is the best in the business. From the initial contact to the final completion, every single detail was handled with perfection. I simply cannot say enough good things about the quality of service provided. This is the only company you should use for your Sydney travels. My only hope is that one day I get to return and experience another incredible day with Matt’s company. It’s truly world-class.

For a truly special and unforgettable experience, you must book a private tour with Matt at Sydney Prive. Our Blue Mountains journey included amazing encounters with koalas and kangaroos, a spectacular hike with breathtaking vistas, and the most incredible food and wine pairings imaginable. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our day with Matt. He welcomes you like an old friend, sharing his deep knowledge of Australian history and culture alongside his genuine passion for fine food. It was a highlight of our trip that we will cherish forever.
