Everything went very smoothly. Zoo was great and ferry ride great as well. Ferry staff friendly. Enjoyable day out. Lots of people at the zoo considering it was a wet day. Will return.

Excellent Blue and Red bus tours of Sydney. Particularly enjoyed the spectacular Bondi Beach, and the treed and peaceful residential areas. The Central District, the Harbour, the Harbour Bridge views are amazing. Thanks for the careful driving and the informative audio descriptions We learned much.

This visit was super smooth and easy given the tickets we bought! Getting to the ferry, the zoo, and back was so simple! These tickets were a perfect way to make this visit easier than it may have been had we not bought this bundle!

Easy to book, good value for money and good communication regarding event however the zoo experience it's self was a bit disappointing due to several of the animals not seen due to works occurring on their enclosures.

All in all, a nice tour. That’s what I think. Finding the stops was very difficult, since the signs were mostly hard to spot or completely missing. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

Opt for a 24-hour unlimited hop-on hop-off pass and navigate Sydney seamlessly, covering 20+ stops across 2 routes with buses available every 20 to 30 mins.

Onboard the open-top double-decker bus, benefit from multi-language pre-recorded commentary, and stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi.

Dive deep into the city's essence at iconic stops like Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbour. Additionally, opt for the Fantasea Harbour Hopper Cruise.

The combo includes a convenient return rocket ferry to Taronga Zoo from prominent locations such as Circular Quay and Darling Harbour.

After the ferry ride, immerse in Taronga Zoo's diverse habitat zones, from the Australian Walkabout to the Big Cats' Trail, and enjoy daily free keeper talks, and bird and seal shows.

Did you know? Taronga Zoo is a sanctuary for over 4,000 animals, representing more than 300 unique species, making it a biodiversity hotspot in Sydney.
