5.00This is a fantastic harbour cruise that hits all of the essentials. It you only have an hour to spare, this tour is really the best option. Our guide kept the tour light but informative.
Truely awlful! Such bad commentary all the way, bad customer service at the wharf.

1.00After purchasing our tickets at one of the booths along the wharf we were told the cruise departed from wharf 6. We went straight there as cruise was leaving soon, no one there so asked a young girl there and she told us to go in this line, promptly got told off by a lady working for Cruise and said she needed to book us in and to come back to the office….we had just brought the tickets so what was this about….made us feel unwelcome and stupid. She then took us down and the crew had already pulled the ramp up so had to bring that down again for us to board along with some late comers. Then the commentary started…OMG it was bad!. Cringy to be honest, this guy was talking to us like we were in his lounge, bringing up things like their Prime minister was on the front page of the Herald today doing the splits!. His opinion on the fact the Mark Walberg was in town shooting a film. To be honest there wasn’t much in the way of history along the way, we were expecting stories of First Nation land and the names, European settlement and the developing settlements. He did point out the odd historical building, but regaled stories of bad buildings like the new Fish Market and what was wrong with it etc but nothing that we or anyone around us found interesting. To be honest we were just relieved when he stopped talking as we came back under the bridge. I would not recommend

5.00We went from Wharf 6 in Sydney harbour, the boat was comfortable with great visibility, we sat on the upper deck. The experience was brilliant, the commentary was informative and interesting. Brilliant from start to finish.

5.00Nice overview of harbour, tour guide very friendly. There was some very loud tourists on the boat making it difficult to hear.

2.00It was less than the time given. We were told to come back at 1:45 on more than one occasion and when we arrived there were several people ahead of us. Very poor. V
Great value!!

5.00Great wander around Sydney harbor. Don’t know if there was a commentary because we sat outside but it would have been nice. Staff was very friendly and courteous.
