5.00We checked in early. The ship loaded on time and embarked exactly on time. The employees were very courteous and professional. Our waitress was great. She quickly took our order and started getting our food. The sights were great. Again the ship was exactly on time every step of the way. The food was good and the atmosphere was relaxing. Good tour for three money.
Perfect experience!

5.00Perfect experience in Sydney. A must-do for tourists and locals. We had beautiful weather for our sunset cruise. Plenty of photo opportunities on the deck in front of the harbour bridge or opera house. Dinner was lovely. Be sure to get a window seat for best viewing. Totally recommended!

5.00No beef on menu even with the premium price point. Food was good, music was pleasant. No sun for us a cloudy day. But still a wonderful experience.

5.00We did the premium so got a window seat on top floor. Views are wonderful even though it was cloudy. Food and service were top notch. It’s a two-hour cruise so we would not have seen sunset if it hadn’t been cloudy.
Sydney Harbour Tour was the best ever! It is a must in Sydney

5.00The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Sydney Harbour, the music was so delightful as well.
False advertising "sunset" cruise.

2.00Sold as a sunset dinner harbour cruise. Dinner ✓ Cruise ✓ Sunset X For a cruise to be described as a sunset cruise it needs to occur at the same time as sunset. The beautiful sky presented on the page advertising the cruise may occur but you'll be back a the wharf before it happens. The timing of sunset must come as a massive suprise every day. Food was very good, service was excellent, but don't expect a romantic sunset during the cruise.
