Overview

Most visitors to Sydney see the same things in the same order. This tour is different. Sydney Nimble Tours designs each custom day around what you actually want to see — hidden harbour foreshore walks, extraordinary sandstone architecture, world-class galleries, secret gardens, colonial history, or contemporary neighbourhoods that reveal a different side of the city. Or a combination of all of them. Before your tour, Greg consults with you to understand your interests and designs a personalised day plan for your approval. Nothing is fixed until you're happy with it. The day is entirely private — just your group, with Greg as your guide. The pace is relaxed, the route is flexible, and the itinerary can shift as the day unfolds. Alternatively, we can stop at one of Greg's favourite cafes along the way

Itinerary

1. North Head
North Head has pristine heathland (including seasonal wildflowers) and panoramic views of the entrance into Sydney Harbour. This headland is a tied island linked to Manly by a sandspit and has remnant military buildings, a memorial walk and a former quarantine station.
Duration: 90 mins
2. Barrenjoey Lighthouse
At Palm Beach we walk to the Barrenjoey lighthouse which was built in 1881. It dominates the headland and is a well maintained sandstone lighthouse. The walk to the lighthouse provides outstanding coastal views of Pittwater and Lion Island and a chance to see interesting sandstone formations and the Australian bush. After the lighthouse we will drive along Palm Beach and have the option of stopping at Summer Bay if you are a Home and Away (a long running tv series) devotee. We then take the back route and some wonderful coastal scenery.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden
A living work of art! Wendy's garden is a serene place in which to admire wonderful landscaping, lush plants and views of Sydney Harbour.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Paddington Reservoir Gardens
The Paddington reservoir is a submerged structure that was built in 1864. A second chamber was added to the reservoir in 1876. It was constructed to store water pumped from a dam located at the Botany swamps. The columns in the reservoir were constructed from ironbark timber and supported segmental brick arches. The reservoir only operated until 1899. After this time it was used as a storage facility and for several decades it operated as a service station. However its roof collapsed and it ceased operating as a service station in 1990. In 2006 work began to restore the reservoir and convert it into a re-imagined space. Original brick, iron and timber fixtures were salvaged and the space that formerly stored water is now a serene area which includes a roof garden and a small pool and grassed area along with stairs allowing access to the area. Occasionally you will see wedding photos being taken in the area. The Paddington Reservoir is an oasis and a wonderful restoration project.
Duration: 30 mins
5. Barangaroo Reserve
Barangaroo is an inner city suburb of Sydney located on the north west side of Sydney’s CBD. It was formerly a container wharf area and has been -transformed into a residential and commercial hub. The suburb occupies 22 hectares and includes a 6 hectare headland park (Barangaroo Reserve) which was completed in 2015. The reserve is essentially an artificial hill, but it certainly doesn’t look like one. It was created by a clever feat of engineering and earthworks so that a massive void, known as The Cutaway, exists underneath the parkland above. The roof of the cutaway required the fabrication, transportation and installation of enormous concrete spans, which underpin thousands of cubic metres of rock, soil, grass and trees. The Cutaway provides a unique area for cultural events, exhibitions, television shoots, food events and large gatherings. This visit includes a pleasant walk on a flat path around a around the reserve providing wonderful harbour views.
Duration: 60 mins
