A great experience, ... - A great experience, fortunately it was not that busy so you could easily get on and off without having to wait because the bus was full, the sun was shining so wonderful to drive around, with the highlight being the visit to the Opera house and great experience to experience this.

Cheap and Convenient - Best way to move around Sydney if you’re short on time and want to see various points of interest. Super friendly staff and helpful. Definitely recommend it.

Nice excursion - The bus stop was easy to find. We enjoyed the commentary and seeing parts of the city we wouldn’t see otherwise.

Quality experience, great service - Did the 48 hour pass including the night tour and harbor cruise. Adam (Big Bus rep at The Rocks) was really easy to deal with and gave me great advice on other things too. The day I did the red line was pouring. They gave me a poncho and wiped the seat.for me before I sat down. The rain was brutal (not their fault) but did cause some traffic delays. The day I did the Blue Line to Bondi was gorgeous and just what I needed. The Night Tour was amazing and having a live commentary was really nice. She offered to take pictures and was good at making sure people got back on at the right time. Harbor Cruise was from a different vendor but still exceptional. Sadly, I went too late to be able to really hop on and off, but enjoyed the tour anyway. This is typical of what you should expect and receive from a bus tour.

This tour was just as... - This tour was just as advertised. It was a good way to get a feel for city. We enjoyed the service out to Bondi especially. Commentary was a little goofy but informative. Overall good if you’re new to the city.

Great narrated tour - The driver navigated tough wet roads and kept us safe. The staff at the stop at the Rocks were very informative and helpful. Great way to see the city and the main landmarks.

Needs a little tv - Very great bus but they should have something in the bus like a little tv that says what stop your at rather than on the place where you listen to stuff

Good way to see Sydney - Definitely get the 48 hour pass because it also includes a night tour and a harbor cruise that were very worth it! My friends and I love a hop on hop off bus tour, and while this wasn’t our favorite that we’ve done, it was still a good way to get transport throughout Sydney to see a lot of it. It was also nice that it had two routes.

Food for getting around but not for learning about anything - It is a nice way to get around the city but the audio was often off so we would miss whatever they were talking about.
