Private tours from Sydney NSW

I've been guiding private tours across New South Wales since 2009 — journeys built entirely around what you want to experience, at your own pace.

No strangers, no rigid schedules, no rushing.

Whether it's the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Canberra, Jervis Bay, or a multi-day road trip through regional Australia, you set the pace and I guide you through it myself.

Touring Your Way!

Your Day Your Way

Every Escape Scenes tour is built around you — not a fixed itinerary, not a coach schedule, not someone else’s idea of what you should see. You set the pace, you choose what matters, and you decide when to linger and when to move on. Want to spend an hour at a cellar door in the Hunter Valley? Hike the Blue Mountains in the morning, then settle in for a long lunch? That’s exactly how it should be. No rushing, no compromises — just the day you actually wanted.

Blue Mountains

"It was clear the day was ours to plan however we wanted — he offered different options for how to structure our day. The van was clean and comfortable. I'm glad we went this route rather than a tour bus."

Blue Mountains

I have joined the 2D1N private tour from Escape Scenes for Blue Mountains. Our tour guide Dave (David Edwards) is amazing; his informative and interesting guide is making the whole trip fruitful and meaningful, apart from just driving and drop off, but bringing us many good stories and knowledge of Australia.

Exceeded Our High Expectations

David was incredible- he customized the trip just for us. Even though it was a rainy day, we still had a great time and saw everything we wanted to see. He was very accommodating and had a wealth of knowledge about the Blue Mountains. Highly recommend!.

Half Day Blue Mountains

Enquired about a 6-hour half day tour to the Blue Mountains for 2 pax online. David was quick to respond and communicate via email and then WhatsApp. On the actual day, the pick up from the airport was seamless. Vehicle was clean and spacious. David is a safe driver and a marvellous guide. He first took us to a local deli for a wholesome meal. He then took us to beautiful places away from the crowds, as per our request.

Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, lets try to answer those, these are some of the most commonly asked questions we receive regarding our tours.

How Do I Get To The Blue Mountains From Sydney?

The Blue Mountains are 90 minutes west of Sydney via the M4 motorway. Most visitors drive or take the train to Katoomba (2 hours). But with a private tour, I pick you up from your Sydney accommodation and handle all the driving — you just relax and enjoy the scenery.

What Are The Best Day Trips From Sydney?

The Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Canberra, and Jervis Bay are the most popular private day trips from Sydney. The Blue Mountains offer UNESCO wilderness and dramatic escarpments, Hunter Valley delivers world-class wine and gourmet food, Canberra brings national museums and political landmarks, and Jervis Bay showcases pristine beaches and coastal wildlife. I can help you choose based on what you're most interested in — nature, wine, culture, or coast.

What Does a Private Tour Cost In Sydney?

Private day tours from Sydney typically range from $850 - $1350 AUD depending on group size, destination, and itinerary. This includes door-to-door pickup in a luxury Mercedes V-Class, a flexible itinerary tailored to your interests, and my local knowledge — no hidden fees, no strangers. Contact me for exact pricing based on your group size and preferred destination.

Do you offer extended or multi-day private charters?

Yes. In addition to our signature Sydney day trips, I arrange extended private charters and multi-day tours. Whether you are heading up the coast to Queensland or exploring regional New South Wales, we can build a seamless, comfortable multi-day itinerary.

Are Your Tours Completely Private?

Yes, every tour with Escape Scenes is strictly private. You will only travel with your own family, friends, or colleagues. There are no strangers, no crowded buses, and no rigid schedules—just you and your dedicated guide.

Can you customise an itinerary for our group beyond your listed tours?

Yes — I design custom multi-day itineraries from Sydney to fit exactly what your group wants to see. Past routes have covered Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to the Gold Coast, and everywhere between across NSW, Victoria and Southern Queensland. Tell me your dates and interests and I'll build a private itinerary around them.

No Strangers Just Your Group

I only run private tours, so it's your group in the vehicle and nobody else. Stop when you want, stay as long as you like.

Flexible Itineraries

Your itinerary flexes around you. Want longer at a lookout, or a different stop altogether? I make it happen on the day.
