Good way to see a lot in a short time

This trip is a good way to see a lot of sights in a short time. The bus was totally full and a bit cramped. The driver had a strange way of seating people in some specific order. We were at the front of the queue but weren't allowed to board until about half way through. It this is standard practice, it would be good to allow customers to disclose information as part of the booking process (e.g. difficulty walking, extra tall). We got off the bus at multiple stops and with 60 people on board, this took quite a lot of time. I think the tour would operate better with smaller groups to minimise this. Yes the driver has a strong accent. If English is not your first language, you may struggle to understand him. As New Zealanders, we did ok, but you did have to concentrate. I think it was good value for the amount that we saw, but I would likely book a different trip in future.
Great tour !!

Our tour guide was super professional, really knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He pointed things out along the way and made sure we had time to stop and take photos at all the iconic spots, which I loved. Definitely recommend this tour!

Instructions on where to meet need to be more specific. Archibald fountain does not have a name and nobody knew what that fountain was called. The tour guide was late which threw us into a panic. Tour was lovely, driver very good, kind, considerate and views were outstanding BUT we could hardly understand one word of the commentary!!

It was our final day in Sydney, so wanted a nice easy way to get around and see the sites. This is definitely the way to do it! Got to see lots of the main attractions and had a tour guide to explain it all!
Ok if we could understand the driver, but we couldn’t.

It was a much bigger tour in way of numbers than I imagined. Our guide was firm but funny which is good with travellers. His English was a bit hard at times to understand. The tour was great though

Great way to see the city and surrounding areas in a quick 4 hour tour. Included a stop at Bonbi for 45 mins, which was excellent for a quick paddle and pictures. Very well structured and informative. Recommended
