It was a good trip. Took some time to see the whales . Could not see close by as they were mostly far away
We had a great excursion. Within minutes of arriving to the area, we saw a cow and her young one. The on board guides were very good at explaining what we saw.
We managed to see 2 - 3 pods of humpback whales, for someone who lives miles away from the sea that was amazing. 1 thing you need to fix remove 7 Macquarie street from your meeting info.
Seeing the whales. We were fortunate enough to have some quite close. For those who do not have sea legs, be aware many got sea sick . This is not a fault, but something to be considered.
The trip was well organised, kept to time, information given was relevant and interesting. Lots of whales!
We saw both whales and dolphins - excellent value for money!
It was a wonderful experience and highly recommend it to others who have an interest to get out and watch the wild.
The best whale watching cruise, Jay and the rest of the crew were awesome My sister and I had a great time and especially going under the bridge and the view of the Harbour Bridge& The Opera House was just beautiful.
My experience with the Sydney Whale Watching Cruise with a Marine Biologist was unforgettable. The knowledgeable marine biologist shared fascinating stories about whale behavior, migration patterns, and mating rituals. I was thrilled to see over four whales, and his explanations about their breathing and impressive size added depth to the experience. The biologist ensured we had excellent views while respecting the whales' space. The insights into whale interactions, like partner attraction and fights, made the trip educational and exciting. What I loved most was the combination of close-up whale encounters and the enriching, expertly delivered information. Highly recommended!
The information provided by the staff on board was fantastic and very informative. The whales were absolutely amazing, can't wait to come back to Sydney to come out whale watching again
It was a wonderful whale watching experience. The explanation was clear and educational, it is a great activity for family outings.
We saw some beautiful whales having fun! Great commentary too.
All well organised and successful

Great day out, good info coming through the headphones about the local history of each area as we passed through. Get on and off at any stop you like. Nth Bondi RSL for lunch was yummo.
Enjoyed the routes, scenery and narration. Best hop-on hop-off tour we've done!
It showed me around Sydney in the limited time I had. So wonderful to keep coming back the the harbour when I thought we were well away from it.
The ticketing experience turned out to be a nightmare for us. We needed to unlock our International online bank app to pay you. Didn't realise your company was based in Berlin. When we opened the banking app we were immediately scammed for $200. Next time we pay cash...it's safer
We had a GREAT time on both the bus and the water cruise! We only went on the red route and not the blue route. There was a problem getting them to honor our ticket for the cruise. The information on the code was just for the bus, but not the cruise, even though the cruise was in the title. After working with the folks from The Big Bus, we got it straightened out. Apparently, you're using an older code. The bus trip was great about hitting all the highlights of the city.
The harbor tour was basically just a boat, no explanation of what we were seeing
Got to see a lot of different things. The app was a good improvement.
Very easy to book, but the stops are not very well identified we had to look quite a while to find it
The first driver was so friendly and helpful.
Really nice experience to know Sydney
The waiting time to the next hop on is too long.
Very well organized. Quick response to questions by email. Efficient and friendly staff at route n*1. Interesting trip. Only downside: I couldn't hear the audio guide very well on the bus. Pleasant Captain Cook cruise, even more beautiful at 7:30 p.m.

Stuart was so knowledgable in all of his stories and delivered with such enthusiasm that I was hanging on to every word!
We visited Sydney from Brisbane and a major highlight was the SCG Tour. My 12 year old cricket & football loving son was amazed by the history and felt thrilled to walk in the steps of some of the all time sporting greats. Our guide Stuart was fantastic, a natural storyteller, engaging the group with remarkable details and information. It was a fabulous experience and felt Aussie pride to have a stadium of such high calibre, you could feel the spirit of those who had played on the fields... if only those walls could talk. 10 out of 10!! Highly recommend
Our guide Peter was excellent all round . He had an excellent knowledge of the history of the SCG and players, matches and highlights over the years. We had access to areas of the SCG I never expected to see. As a huge cricket fan myself, I was thoroughly absorbed. My wife is no cricket fan but Peter made it interesting for non cricket fans as well. One of the best tours I have been on, without doubt.
The knowledge and delivery from our guide Stewart was top notch. The ticketing through headout was seamless. We would highly recommend this tour
Just pure amazing. I loved it

I recently did the Sydney Harbour Hop-On Hop-Off Cruise with a visit to Taronga Zoo, and despite some rain, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience. The cruise itself was a fantastic way to explore Sydney’s iconic harbor, offering beautiful views of landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The flexibility of the hop-on, hop-off system allowed us to explore at our own pace, and it was convenient to stop at different locations along the harbor. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit rainy during the day, which limited the time we could spend outside on the boat. But even with the rain, the views from inside were still spectacular. Taronga Zoo was the highlight of the trip, especially getting to see Australia’s unique wildlife. The zoo is beautifully designed, with incredible views of the harbor as a backdrop. Overall, while the rain put a slight damper on the experience, the hop-on hop-off cruise and visit to Taronga Zoo were still fantastic. It’s a perfect way to see Sydney’s famous harbor and spend time with nature at the zoo. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Sydney.
The cruise schedule was not provided until we exchanged our tickets at the dock, so we didn't know that the cruise only had 2 scheduled time for 1 of the hop locations early in the morning. We didn't go early and so we were not able to stop at that location.
Loved all of it. Great experience, wonderful guide, well organised and just lots of fun. The highlight of our trip to Sydney.
The helpful and efficient service
booked at last minute on a sunny winter day - I visited Manly Beach and Watson's Bay - lots of room on board and all sailings were on time - a great way to see the harbour. Visiting from Scotland!

A top-notch guide who introduced us to the Sydney Opera House through numerous stories and anecdotes.

Everything was good and perfect
Great trip, from booking and the follow up email about where to meet-up for the coach pickup. The Company providing the tour bus were excellent and the driver was as good as it gets, very thorough and pleasant. All the stops which were planned, made for an excellent excursion and full day.
The attractions at Scenicworld were great and Leura was well worth a visit.

We had a lovely time and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we can't blame you for the horrible weather. It didn't stop us having a great time and our driver Ben was outstanding. Very informative but didn't know that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was modelled on a bridge near our home in the UK. It is the Tyne bridge at Newcastle. He is welcome to use it in the future when addressing his passengers.
Brilliant time in the Blue Mountains, a good sampling of all it has to offer. I would've preferred more time trekking at scenic world, but hard to have it all. Definitely a good value for transport and entry fees compared to doing it yourself.
One of the best tours in Sydney! And the driver and tour guide Max, was just so articulate. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Giving great advice along the way as a making everything fun. Highly recommend
The whole day was fabulous. The bus ride was comfortable and stops spaced out so not so long sitting at once. Driver/host Aaron was excellent! He made the day very enjoyable. He chatted along the way with history and fun facts and few jokes. Sharing Tim tams was a nice surprise. 5 out 5 stars for Aaron! The blue mountains was a n awesome day. Scenic world had some of the nicest views. I would highly recommend.
We had a great day Tony our driver was so full of interesting information wish we had taken this trip when we first arrived in Sydney not when we were leaving the trip was so well organised but wish we had been advised to go on the skytrain first but missed out because the time ran out but enjoyed. The other two attractions at scenic world Go Tony Regards Trish and John Sharp New Zealand
Great day out, Ged was our tour guide for the day and very good.
It was a very easy way to go to the blue mountains and our guide, Aaron was fantastic. My favorite day in Sydney area.
Huxley was a great guide. The tour of the blue mountains was really nice and well organised. I had a great time.
