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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
