A bit disappointing really. A 7.05am pick up was very early and had to be made at another hotel. The driver was more than a bit boring and his narration was very basic. He spoke about anything, even parking regulations and the bridge crossing fee. We gave up at the river cruise and didn't carry on for the afternoon session. Personally you'd be better off with the usual hop on hop off trips....that way you knowwhatyoure going to get.

enjoyable

An excelent tour that gives the first time visitor a good overview of the city. I was only in Sydney for a few days but the tour meant that I saw the major sights. If I were staying longer, it would have set me for up for things to return to in my own time.

Great way to see sydney on tight schedule. Wonderful drive with some amazing views. I was let down by the Lunch cruise. Lunch buffet on cruise was not that great...and it did not include drinks(other than water or tea). For the price I paid,I expected better food and at least one drink included. Definitely a tourist trap. Thank goodness there were good views on the boat. Aside from the lunch cruise letdown,I'd recommend the tour. Tour guide Robbie was great! I learned so many great about sydney from him.

Your tour guide was very informative, and there was people there to ask questions when we weren't sure of our schedule. We enjoyed our tour very much.

A good tour of Sydney for those who are on a tight schedule.

Review by: HIEN V	September 2011
This tour is perfect if you want to see the sights around Sydney as well as to get information about those places in a limited amount of time. Our driver-guide was very informative.

Review by: Teri P	May 2011
We did the tour with the lunch cruise. It was a great way to get an overview so you can see what you want to go back and explore more.. The lunch cruise was very relaxing and a good break from the coach for a couple of hours.

Review by: Lisa P	April 2011
Excellent day tour! I highly recommend it. The lunch cruise was a favorite experience!

Review by: Juantorena C	March 2011
Lunch cruise was excellent!

Review by: Linda M	February 2011
This was a good day tour...we saw everything we wanted to see and saw it all in one day! If you have limited time in Sydney and want to see everything then this is the tour to take._br/_ The lunch harbor cruise was good...we have wonderful views of the bridge and opera house.

Review by: CHARLENE C	February 2011
Nice Day Tour, but I could have done everything by myself. We did not go to the Opera House at all, only had a chance to take pics across the Opera House.

Review by: QING X	December 2010
Very good. The driver is perfect. Visited most of the spot during the day. Worth it!

Review by: Seng chye O	October 2010
It was well planned.

Review by: Yolanda B	October 2010
our tour guide was more interested in sharing us his opinions on the present controversies on australian politics rather than history of sydney.he is not as informative as the other guides i have been with during my tours

Review by: GRAHAM F	September 2010
An excellent way to see the sights around Sydney if you have a limited amount of time. Combined with the lunch cruise we had a great day and thought it was very good value for money. The coach arrived on time and the driver was very informative throughout the day. We were picked up at 8am and dropped back to th hotel at 6pm.

Review by: Pearl H	August 2010

Ticked all the boxes of things to see over 3 days in Sydney in one day.If you want a whistle stop tour and see all the sights and have limited time I would highly recommend this.

Review by: David H	April 2010
We booked this as a full day tour. When we boarded the bus we were told it was a morning and then afternoon trip. We were left for 2 hours to do our own thing, then the driver was almost an hour late, and the afternoon trip not very good. So it was very overpriced for what we got.

Review by: Luis A T	April 2010
Very complete, worth taking.

Review by: Anonymous	March 2010
Driver tour guide gave too many ranges for facts rather than the agreed upon historical fact. He was also "not sure" about lot.

Review by: David S, United Kingdom	February 2010
A very good trip not limited to the top sights but also including 'back street,only locals know this' sights of interest

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	February 2010
Comprehensive and great lunch with fantastic views

Review by: Pamela B, United States of America	January 2010
I would recommend the one day tour of Sydney with Viator with the option of lunch on the harbour. We had only one day touring in Sydney and this was very well spent. The bus operator took us all over Sydney, and the views were superb. He was very passionate about Sydney and this showed on our tour. He went out of his way to make sure we all had a wonderful day. Our lunch and cruise along the harbour were terrific. A memorable day for us and we will certainly return to Sydney to see more.

ITS ESSENTIAL TOUR FOR FIRST TIME VISITORS, IT ABSOLUTELY COVERS EVERYTHING ABOUT SYDNEY, FROM LAND TO SEA, THE LUCH BUFFET CRUISE WAS SO RICH..

Review by: John S, United Kingdom	December 2009
Entertaining and knowledgable tour guide. Good sights of city. Comfortable coaches. Plenty of time at stop-offs and photo shoots.

Review by: Cristina J, United States of America	November 2009
Just a short note to say we had the most memorable day with your one day tour and lunch on the harbour. The driver was absolutely outstanding and he took us everywhere. He went out of his way to help us and he is very passionate about Sydney, his hometown. The cruise was beautiful and incredible and the lunch was superb. We would recommend this tour to anyone, even the receptionist at Novotel said she may try this herself. Thank you, we loved Sydney!

Review by: Tony A, Australia	November 2009
Absolutely superb. We had one day in Sydney and we were spoilt. The bus driver took us everywhere - fantastic lookouts, and up and down windy, skinny streets in his big bus. Saw a good cross section of Sydney. Lunch on the harbour, sensational! Memorable day in Sydney; makes us want to return to see more. Thanks Viator.

We had missed our original reservation, but the tour company accommodated changes very helpfully. The information on the tour was brief but incisive.

The cruise was fabulous! The coach tour was good, but felt that the guide could have been slightly more informative.The itinerary was very good!

Review by: Keri H, New Zealand	September 2009
Definitely the best way to get the most out of a short visit to Sydney! We saw both the North & South beaches with a great harbour cruise for lunch. Really entertaining and informative tour guide.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2009
A nice tour of the city. It was pretty comprehensive.

Review by: Donna M	August 2009
I enjoyed this tour, but since I had been in Sydney for a week already it would have been better at the start of my stay to get the layout of the city. I really enjoyed visiting the famous beaches and seeing the suburbs which I hadn't been in yet.

Review by: Malou	May 2009
It rained most of the afternoon, so we couldn't get off the bus. The lunch cruise was not so good, and the food was not that good either. But our tour guide was really great!

Review by: Ajit S	May 2009
The tour was absolutely fabulous. Our tour guide made the tour really memorable with his lively presence and engaging commentary throughout the tour. The best part of the tour was the cruise lunch. The tour could have been a little more attractive if they could take us near the opera house and we could walk around the place to see it from outside rather than seeing it from the bus or the cruise. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

Review by: Mark J, United Kingdom	March 2009
Absolutely fantastic tour, very informative and we're glad we did it. Driver was very polite, knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful!

Review by: Ward D	March 2009
You will get views of the Opera House not seen from any other vantage except a boat in the harbor. Lunch was very good, served buffet style. We enjoyed the excursion.

Review by: John L, United States of America	February 2009
Great overview of Sydney.

Review by: David V	February 2009
The after lunch segment was about 85% a repeat of the morning portion. A 1/2 day harbor tour lunch would have been a better value. Harbor tour charging for water is outrageous.

Review by: eleanor g, United Kingdom	October 2008
Another wonderful day shown all the sights around Sydney and visited two famous beaches - Manly and Bondi. More than well informed by courier. Boat trip with lunch was brilliant. Again i would recommend this trip for visitors with only a short stay in Sydney. 10 out of 10.

Review by: Patricia W, United Kingdom	October 2008
We would like to thank Viator for our wonder tour. We had an entertaining and informative driver/guide. He went out of his way to ensure that we had a good time.

Exceptional tour with exceptional staff made for a great experience for this first-time visitor to this fabulous metropolis.

Review by: Gary J, Canada	March 2008
We loved the tour and all the information. The bus driver guide gave a really great running commentary and was an excellent driver, maneuvering through Sunday traffic in Sydney.

Review by: Karen T, New Zealand	March 2008
This was a great day! So worth doing. The driver was great and very personable; he made the entire experience very enjoyable. The variety of sights was great and the pickup and drop off service was excellent. The fantastic addition of the Harbour Cruise was fabulous!
