4.00Very 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

3.00The hop on off bus in Sydney drivers didn’t know where the drop offs where twice in two days we asked about a drop off they told us we were on the right bus and we were on the red bus and got taken all the way to Bondi. Which wasted a couple hours out of our day. You need. Ore informed drivers

5.00Good way to see city, been on big bus tour in New York before, the staff were more interactive with passengers on that. Tour seemed a little bit formal, just listening to audio commentary
