Loved this experience. First time in Sydney and a few days to spend sightseeing prior to the Ashes. I chose the midday trip as it included a meal which was really good. Well prepared dishes with plenty of choice and no feeling that if you weren't at the front there wouldn't be enough to go around. The commentary kept us informed of queue length so we I didn't miss any of the sights. Over 2 hours on the boat and not a dull moment with a full commentary of interesting facts and places to see. I particularly like it that the captain stopped the boat so we could get some good pictures of the Opera House from the far side of the Harbour Bridge. Boat was clean and looked well cared for. I'd recommended having the trip at the start of a visit as it gives you ideas of other places to visit (Zoo, Maritime Museum, Manly etc). You obviously also see views and aspects of other Sydney landmarks that are not possible from the land. Thoroughly enjoyable start to my visit.

Staff very efficient and friendly. All the different bay sights really great in good weather. Alighted only at Manly (very viby) - DeVita restaurant outstanding. Returned to Circular Key and visited the Opera House.

The lunch we had was really good and came out at a nice easy pace, so you didn't feel rushed. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. While others left early at one of the stops, we were glad we stayed to the end as we made a further run in the harbour. It was a great way see around the area. The atmosphere aboard was relaxing and we were so to have chosen this trip.

It is one of the best zoo that we visited so far. Kids and adults enjoyed the place, shows were amazing. Follow the map with green circles and you will be able to cover the entire zoo. It is huge with more than 3000 species so it will be helpful to follow the map which also have details about the shows. Start early morning, since we prebooked with headout we were able to directly enter in to the zoo and did not had to wait in the ticket counter queue which was long due to school break.

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.

Best views of the harbour. Easy on and off. 90 minutes was the perfect duration to see all the iconic sights from a pristine vantage point.
