Worth the money - Good routes (2). Saw everything there was to see. I always enjoy these types of tours. You learn so much. Although it was raining I still enjoyed it

Must-do when new to Sydney - Perfect way to get your bearings and see the sites around Sydney! If you’ve never been before, definitely recommend doing this on one of your first days.

Didn’t use - We didn’t use this service. We used the ferry, which was very convenient to where we were staying and where we were going.

Poor - The Old Girl got me into City Bus Tours and Big Bus Tours some years ago. They WERE brill. Nowadays the price has risen too hugh and the service poor. Sadly, against my better judgement we bought a ticket. Eratic service. Second day we walked the city...far easier.!

Horrible. Please read. - If I could give negative reviews, I would! I’m in bed suffering from a severe cold due to the lack of concern on this bus. First off, the bus is filthy , not dirty, but downright “back alley” filthy. The above AC vents were jammed and cold air was blowing on me as it rained outside. The recording is extremely outdated and difficult to hear. My shoes and socks were soaked due to incompetent workers who couldn’t let me know that the seat I was sitting in gets regular “cascades of rain water” dumped on their head from the level above. Not sprinkles- but waterfalls!! I’m sure spending an entire day with wet shoes and socks is what got me so sick. I’m missing precious vacay days shivering in bed! Please save yourself this experience and take the tram or train.

Never use again - Absolutely the biggest rip off , I started writing our experience with this company and oh god I think I was turning into a novel . I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone , all we wanted to do was make sure we seen Bondi beach and Taronga Zoo . We got to see Bondi Beach at the blink of an eye as we are sure the bus driver was in such a hurry to finish his shift for the day . We were t told when we changed buses from red to blue that it was the last blue run so if we got off at Bondi there was no bus back . Just a waste . Your choice !

Very disappointing - Route 2 was very disappointing. Bus left Bondi beach early, so I had to wait 45 minutes for the next one in the rain. Fast driving, so difficult to see sights. Commentary didn’t synchronise with sights. Sexist comments on commentary about surfing Sheila and red light district. Do not recommend. Also (and not their fault) Bondi Beach was small and very built up around it - not sure why it is so popular.
