LeiLei was our tour guide (not sure I spelled her name right) and she was wonderful! She kept us on track, was exceptionally knowledgeable and we got to see and learn more about Sydney than we would have on our own. Tour ends in the Rocks area which was perfect.. plenty to do and see there ...tour is free but they do ask for gratuities based on your experience. Would recommend this tour for anybody who wants to get to know Sydney

An awesome experience of Sydney! You can either take the bus tour, which is $18 to cover the cost…read moreof the bus, or the walking tour which is free. At the end of both, you can choose to contribute any amount you like to your guide. This is the only money they make so you should definitely give some because they've worked hard! You meet at the Archibald fountain by 10:30 a.m. to get a spot and then go from there. Martin was my guide on the bus tour and he was informative and funny! I got to see so much of Sydney on the tour and also took some great photos. Don't think that you won't be tired if you do the bus tour cause you'll be hopping on and off a few times which will be tiring (but rewarding). I'd say this is a must do when visiting Sydney!

I've always wanted to explore a city using the Hop On Hop Off Bus and I finally had the opportunity…read morewhile visiting Sydney. I purchased the Go City Pass and was able to redeem one of the attraction options for the bus. They have two routes: The red route (city center), and the blue route (beaches). I took the red route. I was able to get a ticket at the Central Station stop. There was an attendant posted at the bus stop who was very helpful with ticket redemption. He also gave me info on the bus routes and schedule. If you download the app, you can track the buses in real time. Your ticket comes with headphones that you can use for the audio guide. The audio tour has multiple language options. The bus is great if you want to use it to take a sightseeing tour. The entire circuit takes 1.5 hours for the blue route and 1.75 hours for the red route. Along the way we saw major sites like the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. I took the bus to the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and then continued the rest of the route after my visit. Both drivers that I had weren't great at giving enough time for patrons to get on/off the bus. It takes a bit longer since it's a double decker bus. At one point, patrons had to yell to the driver to stop because people were still trying to make their way off the bus from the upper deck. There's a security camera on board so I assumed the driver can see when everyone has entered/exited the bus, but maybe not. My one piece of advice: Do not rely on the bus for transportation if you are in a hurry. There are a lot of stops and it can take time. At one point on the way back from the Aquarium, the driver took a 20 minute break. I contemplated getting off because I was running short on time, but luckily it worked out. The bus is a great way to explore the city and can be a nice form of transportation if you aren't pressed for time.

Ok. It's not the best Hop On Hop Off bus, but it worked well for our family to explore Sydney…read more Bought a Go City-Sydney Card. Five different attractions for around $90 USD. This worked quite well because it gave us flexibility as we explored Sydney. A one day bus pass is $65 AUD/$42 USD. So easy to collect our passes for the day using the Go City app. Nice that they could accommodate a rollator on the first level for my dad, while my husband and I climbed the stairs to the open top second level. Made a full loop to get a good overview of the city on the Red Loop. Sydney Opera House. Hyde Park. St. Mary's Cathedral. Barangaroo. Woolloomoolo Bay. State Library. The Rocks. Sydney Harbor Bridge. Royal Botanic Gardens. Darling Harbor. King Street Wharf. The audio which is in multiple languages gave a nice introduction to the major attractions in Sydney. Hopped on at Sydney Tower/Westfield Sydney. Definitely look on the app to find the pickup location which is actually near a jewelry store. The app shows a photo of the pickup location. So easy to take the bus to the Royal Botanical Garden and the Sydney Opera House. Also used the Go City Sydney card for booking an accesible tour of the Sydney Opera House. The Hop On Hop Off Buses are not on a specific schedule, so it was a bit of a challenge with the schedule. Buses only run until 5. Good for an overview of the city, but also used UBER to get from place to place.

What an amazing tour. We had so much fun on our private tour with Matt. We are big animal and…read morenature lovers and we love to learn, so this was perfect. Matt had found so many hidden gems to see from local plants, birds, batts and reptiles, to experiences with Koalas, meerkats, and emus. The day never felt rushed, but we got to see all the animals and have the experiences we dreamed of. Matt is a stellar driver so we felt safe at all times, he's super collaborative on how to spend the time, and thoughtful beyond expectation to ensure we had great places to eat even with 2 vegans and 1 celiac. And to top it off, he's the kind of guy you can just relax with, get to know each other, and laugh a lot. It was an amazing day. Highly recommend. And he's an amazing photographer who spent the day taking pictures so we could just enjoy the time without the hassle of grabbing the phone.

He took us to great places that are beyond the typical tourist spots, gave us an up-close encounter with wonderful Australian animals and introduced us to the beauty and history of the area.

Coast Warriors operates unethically and dangerously, with no regard for customer safety or honesty…read more Positive reviews are paid or solicited, while our experience on September 1 exposed gross negligence and illegal conduct. Our guide ignored NSW park safety guidelines, failed to notice six missing group members, and dismissed responsibility by claiming it's 'impossible' to track customers. The company prioritizes profit over safety, even considering cutting basic food options. I have reported them to NSW authorities and strongly warn others to avoid this company before a tragedy occurs. You will already be able to see this in their reply to this review, as they will attempt to dodge responsibility since their motto is "the customer is always wrong".

Of course the day I planned this tour, it was overcast in Sydney but raining as we drove out into the country side. Oh and foggy and just blah. I had brought a raincoat and was somewhat prepared for the weather but the views were poor. BUT despite the weather, Hayden made our tour. We stopped at a shop so folks who needed to buy a poncho could and also so folks could take a toilet break. And since the weather was uncooperative, Hayden drove us to a small park at the end of a neighborhood to see the Aboriginal markings. We learned about tribal traditions, and about his background on both sides of his family. His knowledge of the area, plants, and critters made everything fun. We drove to Blue Mountain National Park and saw the Three Sisters even though they were trying to hide in the fog. We continued on to Scenic World which was much less touristy than I feared. Great time and highly recommended, no matter the weather.

It's always a gift to travel with someone from the area. Cameron, our guide, was not only from the…read moreBlue Mountains, we even went to his hometown. He was jovial and sweet, keeping everyone on the tour engaged and laughing. He knew the history of the area as well as the smaller less travelled but no less interesting sites to visit. The Blue Mountains are lovely and a must-see for any trip to Sydney. The tour was punctual as far as beginning and ending. My only complaint was that for someone like me with health issues, I it was a very long, tiring day. I wish there had been a shorter version available.
