On the town, start with a backstage Tour of the House at the famed Sydney Opera House, then catch a concerto by the Sydney Symphony. Go next door to dinner at Guilllaume at Bennelong, in the house’s southern shell, for exquisite food and service. Take a surf lesson with Let’s Go Surfing at Bondi beach, then have lunch next-door at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. Hike the Bondi to Bronte Cliff Walk, or hop on a Harley and hang on for a Blue Thunder DownUnder city tour on two wheels.
