1.00Food was on the low standard, drink orders took forever to come after being ordered before entrees and didn’t receive them until after the main course

3.00The meal and sights were good but we thought there should be so.e commentary of the spectacular sights in the harbor.
Not worth the money

1.00The food was average at best. You also are charged for soda. So only water is free. You do go into the harbor but you spend more time at either dock than you do in the harbor. Other than eating in the harbor I would not recommend this experience. Save your money and ride one the ferrys and then go eat at a nice restaurant afterwards. I will say the staff was the only true highlight of the trip.
Excellent walking tour in Sydney with our guide Peter

5.00This was an outstanding experience. The dinner cruise provided an outstanding view of the harbour and a great dinner to enjoy as you took in the beautiful city skyline. If you have the opportunity to take the dinner cruise, it’s well worth it.

5.00It was well organised. We booked a window seat and our table was reserved. Food was lovely. Drinks could be bought using qr code and arrived quickly. You get a good opportunity to go up top and take lots of pics.
A bit fast

4.00Good food and service, felt a bit rushed. We did the 5:00, the 7:30 would be better as more of a sunset would offer better views.
