What To Expect
You will see the suburb of Woolloomooloo, with the Finger Wharf, Garden Island Navy Base and Harry's Cafe De Wheels. A very interesting but often overlooked area of Sydney with its own character, full of amazing stories. The tour is designed to take you to the most interesting part of Wooloomooloo. The tour guide will tell you curious facts about the location.
Stretching out into Woolloomooloo Bay is Finger Wharf, once the world's longest timber wharf. Built in 1915, it played a vital role in Australia's wool trade and immigration for over 70 years. Now transformed, it's a chic destination offering waterfront dining, a luxury hotel, and sleek apartments. Keep an eye out for this historic landmark as we cruise by!

4.00Is a very safe driver … he drove a big bus around.& Sydney stopped at a few stops. He was very nice, but his accent was very difficult to understand half of what he was saying. … ☹️☹️ he tried to be informative & funny … but it was disappointing to us & other passengers as we couldn’t understand a lot

5.00Great tour. Enough stops, key ones. Good to pop off for pictures. The meeting point was an easy one to find; just would have been great to have a sign (umbrella..) as the fountain is a an expanded area. Tips; comment when booking which seat (front, back…) you would like to seat. The driver was so knowledgable, funny, strict and definitely some great laughters, great!!
Interesting and with good sense of humor.

5.00We (me, my husband and my daughter) liked this trip as there were a lot interesting information and facts that we didn't know. We had plenty time to walk around and make nice pictures. Also there were very useful tips where to buy good coffee and have a decent and not overpaid lunch and sandwiches. I definitely recommend this trip. Drozd family -Ivan, Marina, Nina - from Ireland.

4.00A great way to blend the best of Sydney in one trip. The guide was very multi skilled as he can talk with that energy and knowledge while driving . Yes the accent takes time to grasp but once you are on it , you follow. Like Kingaroo is Kangaroo, etc. His sense of humour and duty of care is great. He made everyone feel comfortable and involved, gave the best of tips and info including the food at precise points. I would 💯 recommend this to anyone who doesn’t want to do too long trips into history yet cover the best within 3-4 hours.
Highly recommend

5.00Really good value for money. The guide was very informative, polite and helpful. He had a time table to stick to so occasionally felt a little rushed.
Not Bad

4.00The tour was good to kind of get a lay of the land. It was a little disorganized as far as meeting up and what group was with what tour. I think the tour organizer should have signage to help determine where to go. Martin was funny may be a little bit of a language barrier, but worth the price.
Nice tour

5.00The tour was informative and Martin was very personable. Enjoy learning the different areas of Sydney. Only disappointment is we elected to be dropped off at the starting point, but that meant missing the Opera House, as that was the last stop and you found your own way back to the starting point. Bring water, there are restrooms breaks and places to purchase coffee, water along the way.
Excellent

5.00An excellent tour. Martin is friendly, very knowledgeable and so very helpful. I liked it because we stopped for seeing points of interest not just driving past in the hope the traffic stops in the right place to see a building/view point. Timings were very good and Martin was my super hero. Having got distracted at the end of the tour to ask some questions, I did what Martin kept saying not to, I left my camera on the bus. But I phoned him and he very kindly met me to return it, as I am leaving Sydney. What a super star and 150% for customer service. I would recommend booking this trip. You are well looked after, the bus is lovely and clean and comfy seats.
