AI summary of 15 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the tour as an enjoyable and relaxing way to explore Sydney's landmarks and beaches, with many noting its appeal both to visitors and long-time residents seeking a fresh perspective on their city. The extensive range of stops, helpful staff, clean buses and multilingual commentary stand out most frequently, alongside the ability to hop on and off at leisure, though some highlight the convenience of tracking buses via the app and the engaging commentary that teaches even locals something new. The main caveat is that the top deck can become uncomfortable in poor weather or cold conditions, and one traveller found the ticket price steep relative to the experience offered.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
A surprisingly fun way to explore Sydney, see the famous landmarks and learn about the city without worrying about getting around. Great for visitors and for locals wanting a different view of Sydney.
A beautiful way to see Sydney. The kids loved the top deck, and the commentary taught me something new about my own city.
Friendly service and a clean bus, though I found the red route a bit bland and the ticket a bit steep.
A lovely experience, if a little cool on the top deck in midwinter. When it rained the driver handed out ponchos so we could stay up top. I'd recommend the stop at The Intersection on the blue Bondi route for fashion and great coffee, and next time we'll do the night tour.
We've lived in Sydney for years but loved our tour and hearing so many interesting facts about the area.
