We tried the city bus tour in Sydney and found it quite interesting and it gave our feet a rest but the driver was very rude. He was rude when we asked a question and didn't give us an answer. The bus was very old and when we arrived at Bondi he stopped the bus and said, "The bus has... More

Booked this for myself and husband and two adult children. The first part of the Sydney tour was good except for when the bus broke down and we walked back to the hotel, obviously cannot help mechanical failures. For the afternoon went on the Bondi tour, was really old bus so sat side on which makes it difficult when you... More

Expensive (40 bucks each!), slow, no personal touch and only intermittent, poorly synchronised commentary. Oh and very long waits on the bus during the tour at certain stops.

We always use these City Sightseeing Buses when we arrive in a new town so we can orientate ourselves as quickly as possible. Also a good thing to do if suffering a bit from jet lag. We used both buses - Sydney and the bus to Bondi Beach. All the usual local tourist information you need and friendly staff.

I have visited Sydney on a number of occasions however i have never thought to try the sightseeing bus, at first i was a little unsure as it came with a $40 price tag which originally seemed a little expensive. However the tour really was great value for money and took us a full day to complete, we accessed both... More

Being an Aussie and having been to Sydney a number of times I'd never thought to get on one of these tours. I'm glad I did as I learnt a lot about the history of some of the buildings in the city as well as seeing some parts of Sydney (on the Bondi leg) that I'd never seen before. There... More

I have taken these tours in several cities now including Paris, London and Dublin. I think the Sydney tour is one of the best yet. The added sector to Bondi beach was great and took in some beautiful scenery and suburbs. Great English commentary. Some of the buses are in better condition than others. NOTE: Buy your tickets directly from... More

These hop on hop off buses are the very best way to see a city, I go on them wherever there is one. The Sydney tour is great as it includes a trip to Bondi as well as the city. They have new buses as well, A great day out

Good thing to do you can't explore Sydney better in such short time. Jump off and on. The only minus is that the service end by 7:30 pm, wished it went to around 9pm atleast
