Not good: too long waiting time before the bus came ( more than 1 hour !) It is a pitty that the bus is not stopping on Some highlight places to make a picture.

The fact that you can ride to the most distant tourist attractions, such as the blue route. I just didn't think there should be any waiting time at the break at point 1. Sydney's heavy traffic is a big problem and you lose a lot of time and can't stop at many places. The hours from 9am to 4pm are very short.

There was no waiting around. The bus came shortly after we arrived and we did hop off - and again no issue waiting around to hop back on another bus. We did both the red and blue routes. The weather was glorious - we spent out time on the top deck for the best views and the commentary was very educational. Would definitely recommend !

Great opportunity to see and access parts of Sydney I wouldn't have made it to. Loved the upper level of the bus as you could see more and further than if at street level! However I'm sure the commentary/information was much more detailed and better a few years ago... it was ok but didn't really inform as much about buildings/spaces as you passed. That was disappointing.

The experience was good. What I don't understand is when it's say the ticket is for 24 hrs by then the bus finishes at 4pm? We activated our ticket around 10am. We got off ar 3 places. The last place was Bondi Beach. We got to the bus before 4pm to catch the hop on hop off bus. After waiting for over 30 minutes, we called and was told there is no more bus service. Which means that's the end of our $69.00 ticket we only used for 5 hrs? Please explain what you mean by 24 hrs. How does it work if the bus starts at 9 and finishes at 4pm? Thanks

We liked how big the aquarium is and that it had tonnes to look at-a drawback which totally isnt your fault was how busy it was at the time that we went- i find it crazy that adults push to the front(in front of children) to take pics of every exhibit. Favourites were the penguins, sharks and massive Rays

There is no clear instruction on your online website that the scan for tickets must be done at the wharf before boarding so paper tickets for the zoo can be obtained there. Place well informed signage at the wharf and educate the staff involved I.e Ferry operators that paper tickets are required for zoo entry.
