Private Extended Tours From Sydney
Bespoke Private Road Trips Across Eastern Australia
Escape Scenes has been running private extended tours from Sydney since 2009 covering rural NSW, Victoria, coastal Queensland, the outback and everything in between. Every itinerary is built from scratch around you. There are no brochure routes, no preset schedules and no other passengers — just your group, a 2023 Mercedes-Benz V300, and the kind of Australia most visitors never get to see.
We’ll give you honest advice on distances, realistic drive times and how to balance time on the road with actually being somewhere. A good private extended tour from Sydney isn’t just about the destinations — it’s about making the journey itself worth remembering.
Private Luxury Touring
For groups of up to 4 passengers, every kilometre is covered in genuine comfort and style — no cramped minibuses, no strangers, no compromises. Big distances don’t have to mean arriving exhausted.
We specialise in fully custom itineraries — nothing is pre-packaged or pre-designed. Every route, every stop and every experience is built around your group specifically.
Custom Itineraries
Every tour is built from scratch — no set routes, no brochure packages. Here’s a taste of where we’ve been, but if it’s in Eastern Australia we’ll find a way to get you there:
- Melbourne via Coastal NSW
- 3-Day Tour of Regional NSW
- 4-Day Sydney to Gold Coast Road Trip
- 7-Day Broken Hill & Outback NSW
- Brisbane via the Coast
- Sydney to Rural NSW
- 7-Day Victorian High Country
- 3-Day Mount Kosciuszko Hiking Tour
- Coastal QLD to Cairns
- Your Route — tell us where you want to go
Have a specific town, winery or landmark in mind? We’ll build the entire trip around it.
For film fans — the Broken Hill and Mundi Mundi Plains are the iconic backdrop to Mad Max 2, one of Australia’s most legendary films. Standing out on those plains with nothing but red earth and open sky in every direction, it’s easy to see why they chose it. We’ve been there, we have the photos to prove it, and we’d love to take you.
Authentic Extended Australian Touring Experiences
Australia doesn’t reveal itself from 30,000 feet. The red earth of Outback NSW, the alpine roads of the Victorian High Country, the tropical coast of North Queensland — these aren’t places you fly over and tick off. They’re places you need to be on the ground for, moving through at road speed, stopping when something catches your eye. We’ve covered these regions extensively and we’re still finding new corners worth exploring. Every private multi-day tour we run adds something to that knowledge — and that’s exactly what you get access to when you travel with Escape Scenes.Why Book Direct With Escape Scenes?
When you book with us you’re dealing directly with the person behind the wheel — no booking agents, no middlemen, no corporate markups. That keeps our pricing honest and means nothing gets lost in translation between what you want and what actually happens on the day.
We’re not carrying the overheads of a large tour operator, and we don’t pretend to be one. What we do have is 15 years of on-the-ground experience, a genuine passion for showing people the real Australia, and a strong track record of guests who come back and send their friends our way.
Always Something New to Discover
I’m regularly out on the road — not just guiding guests but actively exploring new routes, regional towns and off-the-radar stops worth adding to future tours. Australia is enormous and genuinely surprising, and after 15 years I’m still finding places that make me pull over.
If you have somewhere specific in mind — a town you’ve read about, a landscape you want to see, a region you’ve always been curious about — bring it to the conversation. The best tours I’ve run have started with a guest saying “I’ve always wanted to see…”
FAQs
The short answer is almost anywhere in Eastern Australia. We've covered rural NSW, the Victorian High Country, coastal Queensland, Broken Hill and the outback, Fraser Island and Mount Kosciuszko — and plenty in between. Because every tour is completely bespoke there's no fixed route or brochure itinerary. If you have a destination, a region, or even just a vague idea of what you'd like to experience, get in touch and we'll put something together around you.
When you self-drive you're navigating, researching stops, managing logistics and doing all the driving yourself — which is fine, but it's work. On a private guided tour with Escape Scenes you sit back while we handle everything — the route, the hidden stops, the timing and the local knowledge built up over 15 years on the road. You arrive relaxed, see more, and get access to places most self-drivers simply don't know exist. No other passengers, ever.
Multi-day tour pricing is quoted individually based on your destinations, number of days, group size and any special inclusions. Because no two itineraries are the same we don't publish flat rates — but we're always upfront and transparent about costs from the very first conversation. As a direct operator with minimal overheads, our rates are genuinely competitive for the level of exclusivity and comfort on offer. Get in touch and we'll put a clear quote together for you.
For most travellers, absolutely yes. Group tours lock you into fixed routes, fixed timings and a coach full of strangers. A private multi-day tour with Escape Scenes means the vehicle, the itinerary and the pace are yours entirely — we go where you want, stop when you want, and spend more time at the places that matter to you. For a family or small group, the per person cost is often comparable to a standard group tour — but with complete privacy, a luxury vehicle and an itinerary built entirely around you. The difference in experience is anything but comparable.
All tours operate in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz V300 V-Class — Nappa leather seating, panoramic sunroof, Burmester surround sound, climate control and onboard Wi-Fi. It's comfortable enough that long drives don't feel long. For groups of up to 4 passengers with moderate luggage it's ideal, and it accesses places larger tour coaches simply cannot reach. No other passengers — ever.
Completely — and we mean that literally. There are no pre-packaged itineraries at Escape Scenes. Every multi-day tour is built from scratch around your interests, pace, timeframe and budget. Tell us what you want to see, what kind of experiences matter to you, and we'll research and design the trip around that. It's a genuine collaboration from the first conversation — not a brochure with your name on it.
For multi-day tours I'd suggest getting in touch at least 6–8 weeks ahead — longer trips need more planning time than a single day out. Because every itinerary is researched and built from scratch, there's genuine work involved before we even confirm a route. Popular periods like school holidays and summer fill up quickly too. That said, if you've got something in mind and the timing is tight, always reach out — we'll tell you honestly what we can put together. Get in touch here.
They're ideal for international visitors — and honestly, this is exactly the kind of touring experience Australia deserves but rarely gets. Many international travellers arrive in Sydney with limited time and a long list of things they want to see. A private multi-day tour with Escape Scenes takes the stress out of planning entirely — no hire cars, no navigation, no guesswork about where to go. Just an expertly guided, fully customised Australian road trip with someone who has been doing this for over 15 years. We regularly work with visitors from the USA, UK and Europe and understand exactly what makes a truly memorable Australian experience.
