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.

Amazing way to explore Sydney in 24 hours. Such a beautiful experience, reliable and efficient my only negative is the bus drivers should give people a little bit more time to get off the bus. Overall I would highly recommend

Red route bus am was great, information clear and the driver came and spoke a couple of times with information to customers. Well done driver. Blue route pm sadly driver got the information recordings mixed up and played some parts on repeat, great scenery but poor host on this route.

Being able to see all the major sites and stop to visit them was great. The audio program wias very informative. We had only 2 buses on the red and blue routes, so waits were long.

It was a very convenient way to get around the city. Kids enjoyed the commentary with the headphones . Unfortunately as it rained the day we were booked. Just anyone was buying tickets on the day and as someone who had pre purchased tickets it was very frustrating waiting in the rain or missing seats on a bus because there was no priority to anyone who had pre purchased

We used the ticket to do a circular tour of Sydney. That itself was ok although we stopped at 2 stops for well over 15 mins each so the whole journey took almost two hours (it says 45 to 1.30). The real time tracking of the buses isn't accurate. We waited at a stop for 40 mins before giving up and catching a "normal" bus. As the bus wasn't reliable we used it once in the 48 hours which made it massively expensive. The buses need to be more regular (meant to be 30 to 45 mins) and the live tracking needs to work. All in all not worth the £100 GBP cost.
