Great experience, Guide was Ron and he was fantastic and the rest of the crew at princess cruises. The buffet was top class and dessert. learnt so much about Sydney and was a great way to see and learn on the water. Even got to see a sea plane take off. definitely recommend this tour. I even had a little motion sickness and they looked after me well.

It was a beautiful afternoon cruise. The buffet was more than we expected and our guide was very informative. Views from the top deck was well worth navigating the little stairs! ☺️ Thank you for a great afternoon
