Overall rating

It's great that you can easily switch between the red and blue lines. I can only recommend the Bustours app. You can see where the buses are and can estimate roughly when they will reach the stop. It's best to book at midday or in the afternoon so you can do a tour the next day. Maybe take a break at Bondi Beach and then carry on. The driver always has the exact departure times up front. The blue line doesn't run as often as the red one. But it's totally sufficient.

I liked stopping at all the iconic spots in Sydney with the tour guide Paul giving a little backstory at each. Plenty of time and chances to get some really good pictures. Don't worry if you're not a Tour de France cyclist. It is designed to pace with any skill level. If you are a good rider, just relax and take it easy. The entire excursion was just over 4 hours. Wear comfy closed toe shoes.

The tour was wonderful, we wouldn‘t have seen so many places of Sydney without it and the guide, Tony, was an excellent guide with a big sense of humor and a fantastic Knowledge about history, nature, culture and everything around. Great tour, greetings from Ursula and Walter

I loved the tour, many spots are world famous, but with the knowledge from our guid Adrian everyone got more insight explanation.

Absolutely loved it gave a great overview of Sydney.
