This was a nice overview...
Marianne_R, Jan 2025
This was a nice overview of the city sights. Martin our guide was informative and humorous. We appreciated how he kindly told anyone being too loud to be respectful of others so we could hear his talk. Bus was comfortable and nicely air conditioned.
Great Tour
MARIE_O, Dec 2024
Martin was a fab and very informative guide on our tour yesterday. He gave us fab opportunities to take photos and local knowledge not to mention his great sense of humour and tips for local attractions in Sydney.
Missed the bus+no refund, make it a hop On hop Off bus like the other one with accessible stops.
Michael_L, Dec 2024
This Bus is not hop on hop off ,nor does it have an accessible pickup point. It should be at a bus or train station as parking a car in Sydney city is very very expensive, anyhow I found a quick way to throw away a hundred dollars.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Our refund policy clearly states that a refund cannot be issued for ‘No Show’. However, as a courtesy, we have offered you to come on another day! Regarding the Hop-on-Hop-off bus: Hop-on-Hop-off Bus has 34 ‘accessible’ (located around hotels) stops and 80 seats on the bus. Those 34 stops are ‘accessible’ not only to you but to the other 79 people on the bus as well. What does it mean? At every stop, passengers will be Picked up, Processed, Seated and Dropped off while you will be waiting for your tour to continue. Our Sydney Bus Tour offers a single pick-up location maximising the experience time. Our tourists enjoy sightseeing from the beginning till the end without wasting time waiting for other people to be picked up and dropped off. We have only sightseeing stops. For the same reason, we have time to go to the destinations not covered by the Hop-on-Hop-off bus. Our pick-up point is conveniently located in the middle of the city, right above St James Train Station and close to the 24-hour parking.
Great tour of Sydney & surrounding areas!
Michell_C, Dec 2024
My husband and I only had a short time in Sydney and this tour was a great way to see lots of interesting areas of the city, including Bondi Beach, the Sydney Opera House, the 1st Lightstation in Australia & more! Our tour guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and did a great job!
Hilarious Guide
Maria_S, Nov 2024
Martin, our guide, had hilarious anecdotes about Sydney and each spot we visited. He allowed us extra time at Bondi Beach which was much needed.
Overall it was,a good excursión. There is no wifi on the bus though.While on the tours I took free WiFi was everywhere.
Pavel_K, Nov 2024
Somos of rhe llaves that were Shawn to us I wouldnt get by myself. It is like outside of the downtown Sydney and gives you different perspective.
Good overview of Sydney
Christine_H, Nov 2024
You get to a really good overview of Sydney travelling on a comfortable coach with an engaged driver/guide.
Good way to see more of the city
Sandra_J, Nov 2024
The Sydney bus tour was time well spent. I had already explored the city for a few days and wanted to get some more insight and background on the things I had already visited and seen, as well as see some more places I hadn't been. And I wasn't disappointed. Thanks Martin for the tour! Not recommended for people who want to see all the downtown sights, walk around and expect a lot of time to explore all the places. The tour is more designed for specific short (photo) stops and explanations on the bus while driving.
Good overview tour of Sydney
Anthony_D, Oct 2024
We enjoyed the bus tour with Martin our guide. He was nice enough to take our height into consideration and gave us a seat with more legroom. His stories were funny and informative. The highlight was Bondi Beach. We had just enough time there to visit a T-shirt shop and have a drink With view of the beach. Planning to come back another day to spend more time there.
Great staff and adventure for the price!
Cathy_H, Oct 2024
The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable great little charcuterie, food kind of plate and you can either bring your own alcohol or you can buy some wine from them. Whatever you choose but they were amazing and it was really great for the price.!
Very wonderful tour
Elfinesh_I, Oct 2024
Martin is an amazing tour guide he knows very good history about Sydney he was really entertaining, knowledgeable, and kind. We really enjoyed our tour and learned a lot about Sydney. And he gave us a lot of ideas where to eat, how to go around the city. I just want to say in general he is amazing he loves what he does.

janet_p, Oct 2024

J’adore Sydney
Monique_B, Jun 2024
It was perfect! Our driver was dynamic, he gave us a lot of chance to see beautiful side of Sydney and he has respected the schedule. Je also gave a lot of tips for visit on our own. The tour bus was very confortable and the duration excellent! I will certainly recommand it.
Great day.
Michelle_M, Jun 2024
Our bus driver/tour guide was excellent. However, we did have over an hour hold up when driving through the botanical gardens due to the military off loading trucks. Out of the bus drivers control and he handled it very well.
