Ideally the first-time traveller should spend at least a week exploring the Harbour City, but since we know that this often not possible, The Tailor team has come up with a list of 10 must-do Sydney experiences for the visitor on tight schedule. As we all know the very best way to experience any city is with an experienced local guide – which is exactly what you can expect when you book with The Tailor. This Top 10 is not an exhaustive list – why not consider adding other unique experiences, such as sea kayaking on the Sydney Harbour, paddle boarding at Manly or cycling through the Northern Beaches? Our travel designers will be delighted to create the perfect itinerary just for you.
The name Pasplaley has become synonymous with South Sea Pearls which are harvested off the remote Kimberley Coast in the far north of Australia. Indeed, the Paspaley family has been cultivating these beautiful pearls in Australia since the 1930s. Thanks to its special relationship with this great Australian company, The Tailor can arrange a special behind-the-scenes tour of the flagship Paspaley store in Sydney. Guests who take this tour will enjoy a private viewing of some of Paspaley’s most exclusive jewellery pieces, plus an insight into the delicate art of pearl cultivation.
Anyone who has seen images of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race or the build up to the city’s New Year’s celebrations will understand that the Sydney Harbour is a marvelous place for messing about on boats. Whether you want to skipper a maxi yacht or relax in style on a luxurious motor cruiser, The Tailor can find the perfect craft for your aquatic adventure. Imagine sailing past the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Taronga Zoo and other famous landmarks? Or how about sleeping onboard for an even more memorable experience? Whatever your boating passion, let the team at The Tailor can make it happen on Sydney Harbour.
Acknowledged as one of the greatest buildings of the 20th Century, the Sydney Opera House is now one of the most visited cultural sites in Australia. By booking a private tour of the Opera House, visitors learn about the design, history and hidden secrets of this futuristic building. This bespoke tour also provides guests with the opportunity to visit areas of the building normally closed to the general public, such as the green room, the rehearsal spaces and storage areas. More than 40 years after its completion the Opera House remains Sydney’s foremost venue for opera, theatre, ballet and other live performance.
Before he became an actor Paul ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Hogan worked as a rigger on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Thanks to BridgeClimb even people with no head for heights can enjoy the thrill of climbing to the top of its 141-metre high span. Known affectionately as ‘The Coathanger’, this beautiful bridge has played an important role in the history of Sydney. Apart from the sheer thrill of clambering across its famous span, climbers also learn about the bridge’s design, construction and some of the famous people, including Paul Hogan, associated with this famous Sydney landmark. Early morning and nighttime climbs available.
