There was two routes available and buses ran pretty frequently only downside was that some stops were not clearly marked as Big bus stops so made it tricky to find the correct place to be. The cruise was ok but not really much to see. Sydney tower potentially could give a great view of the city but the weather was overcast so we didn’t see very far. The ticket gave entry to an enclosed viewing platform with windows. To go higher and be outside there was a further charge but we didn’t opt to pay. The highlight of the package was the guided tour around the Rocks area of Sydney. The guide was very informative with lots of stories about the past. He took us through some of the back streets which we wouldn’t have realised were there. The walk lasted about 90 minutes and it was a steady stroll so ok for all ages but there were some stairs leading down to the harbour on the route.

The convenience of the pick up/starting point was great. The narrative that we listened to via headphones was at the correct speed and helpful even in predicting when we should get our cameras ready for a great pic. The only downside was there was no bus running on the opposite side that would take you back to the starting point. You either had to walk back (depending on where you were) or ride all the way through the 90+ minute ride until it got back to stop 1.

Well worth booking

Worth pre-booking if you have a limited time in Sydney. We only had 2 full days but felt we saw everything we wanted to see. So easy to hop on and off the bus. You can get off the cruise at any point too. Great time in Sydney without having to search for what we wanted to do.
