Easy to collect tickets and find bus stops. Interesting and informative tour. A little expensive for what it is but I guess that is to be expected in the middle of Sydney!

This is such a great way to see and get around the city. I wish I would have booked it earlier so I could have had time for the cruise. This is definitely a great way to see all Sydney is famous for.

A very informative tour of Sydney that covered all the major scenic, historic and popular sights! Very enjoyable 1.30 hour bus tour and we did take the cruise option which provided great photo shots of the Opera House!
