Great Tour! - This tour was one of the first things we did when we arrived to Sydney and it was a great way to see the opera house right from the beginning! We did the 7pm tour and got to see the sunset which was an added bonus.

It was awesome. We had a... - It was awesome. We had a great time. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The nibbles were delish washed down with a glass of semillon.

Sip and Cruise - We had a great time relaxing and taking in the views from the harbor. The drinks and cheeseboard were very good and the staff was very professional and Noah took good care of us.

Decent cruise but poor management - The cruise in itself was nice but the management is chaotic and confusing. It says it is a 2 hour cruise but once we boarded we were told it is a 3 hour cruise instead. That led us to missing out on our dinner reservation. The charcuterie was okay, nothing out of the world. The cocktail was good. We had to order fries and some light bites, as by the time we were getting dropped off at 10 PM, all restaurants were gonna be closed. So for folks who are doing the 7 PM cruise, please get dinner before!

Overall fine. Left late, got back early. Closer to 1:30 than 2 hours. - Good service from the staff. Super scenic and well worth the views after a longer day of walking. Trip and time on boat was shorter than advertised.

Okay but simple ferry is a better choice - Okay boat ride. The ferry is a better choice because it is simpler and goes just as far for far less money. The cheese board you can keep

Sydney Harbour Cocktail Cruise - Sorry, but we felt that for a cruise on Sydney Harbour on the last Friday before Xmas, this cruise was flat. The choice of background music was, in part, old fashioned christmas songs. We wondered whether the cocktail cruise was added just to put bums on seats in the downstairs area! And even then, there weren't that many. The Cosmopolitan was very weak, could taste the cranberry juice but not the alcohol. To be honest a total waste of money.

Choose another trip - Rushed, crowded sitting. Chaotic service. Terrible cocktails. Pick a smaller cruise. This was very touristy.

Good views, Decent food, poor seating and table layout for having a meal - The view and the trip itself is great. The food is quite decent as well and the serving staff are really friendly in general as well. However, the seating arrangements are quite poor and overall the senior, managing staff onboard will be quite inflexible as well - you are allocated very specific seat on cruise and it cannot be changed even if you make that request. In addition, depending on type of cruise ticket you signed up for, you may not even have sufficient cutlery, towels or water glasses provide to you and have to chase down staff for simple requests like an empty plate or forks who are flat out serving other tables. Sadly, I cannot recommend this cruise to others and I myself left the cruise halfway.
