Great Hosts! - The tour guide was very personable and informative with stops to take great photos. The bus driver was also fun to interact with at the photo stops!

Big Bus Night tour of Sydney. - Double decker so sit up top if possible. I prefer 4th row back so no glare from windshield up top. But if sensitive to wind, then take first couple of rows uptop. Had 2 short stops to get off and take amazing photo of sun setting behind Sydney Bridge with Opera House in foreground; and Sydney skyline from under Sydney Bridge on far side. Good narration by guide.

It was a rainy, windy, night, but we still enjoyed the tour! - We took this tour on a rainy, windy, night--but we still enjoyed it. The tour operator distributed rain ponchos to anyone who wanted to sit on top -- which almost everyone did since you really can't see much if you are inside the bus. The tour had live narration which was fantastic. And we crossed the Sydney Harbor Bridge and then had a stop where we could get out and take photos from UNDER the bridge ... very cool! It was really a fun and different way to see the city of Sydney, and of course the lights of the city were gorgeous.

Take the evening tour!!! - Robyn was an excellent guide. The tour was interesting. Plus we had a spectacular sunset to watch from the bridge. I don’t know the name ofthe woman that was there while we were waiting, but she did a brief history of Australia, which was fascinating. she gave a personal perspective of her own background and gave a wonderful presentation at the beginning of Australia. Five stars to both these lovely women.

Sunset Sydney - Awesome way to end the day. Robyn was an amazing narrator pointing out historical buildings and the individuals who helped shape Sydney. A trip across the Sydney Harbor Bridge to see Sydney and a beautiful sunset from the north side was a wonderful experience. Book early as it’s likely to sellout.

It was ok - It was ok. I struggled with what rating to give it honestly. This 90 minute tour was good to see sights of the city from the bus, but I didn’t learn anything new that I couldn’t get in other ways. The bus came a little late to pick us up, the microphone has a lot of static, sometimes to the point that you couldn’t hear what the guide was saying. There were 2 places we could get out and take photos. This was the one thing on the tour I liked however, they were easily accessible places I could have gone to on my own. Overall, it was what it is listed for, but I would be good not to do it again.
