The boat is perfect for whale watching. It goes at a steady pace, nice & comfortable. I sat in the stern & could see everything. Our marine biologist was easy to understand while she explained everything we were seeing. She explained how the whale numbers have improved & also how whales are so important to the ecology of our oceans. The crew were friendly, inspired confidence & were clear when they needed us to do something. The captain was easy to understand. I enjoyed our boat, the pace it travelled at & the freedom it gave me move around or just sit & take it all in. Thank you 😊

The tour guide provided great insight into the history at SCG and excellent anecdotes of both the Aussie and the international players. He took a little longer than he anticipated but he made sure we had a great experience. One of the highlights of my vacation to Australia (a first). I also loved how balanced the perspective was - granted it was the SCG and Australia has had great moments but the guide (I believe it was Jeff - sorry if I got it wrong) talked about international team success there as well.

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.

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.

I enjoyed the tour round Sydney but I think the timings on the busses need to be better... it needs to be better spaced as once you missed one bus you could either be very lucky and the next is a short while away or really unlucky where all the busses are on the other side of town and wait a whole hour for the bus! Also when they say a bus leaves at a certain time they are always late by 10-15mins

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.

Brilliant time in the Blue Mountains, a good sampling of all it has to offer. I would've preferred more time trekking at scenic world, but hard to have it all. Definitely a good value for transport and entry fees compared to doing it yourself.

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.

It's called the sunset tour but even before sunset we'd seen so much. The guided walk to Wentworth falls with our knowledgeable guide was great, then the Three Sisters was spectacular but the real highlight was watching the sun go down over this magnificent landscape. One of the highlights of our holiday in Australia!

What a fantastic trip. We enjoyed our Hike down to Wentworth Falls , the Beautiful lookout at 3 sitters and the best part of the day was the Glorious sunset. I would recommend this trip to everyone travelling to Sydney. Remember to pack some drinks and snacks for small picnic during the sunset and maybe something to sit on.

What I really loved about the tour to blue mountains was the chill and relaxed mood of Smokey telling us funny and interesting stories about Australia. The high moment of the tour was the sunset view near to Katoomba. Very special and beautiful. Thank you!
