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.

I live in Colombia, my daughters don't speak English very well, but the characters at Wonderful World Of Christmas were very kind. They spoke more slowly. They used some words in Spanish to help them understand, which was very kind of them. Also, the areas where my children interacted with the elves, Mrs Claus, etc and looked for gifts were very, very nice. We really enjoyed the experience. Thank you very much.

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.

Leonard was an excellent tour guide. He knows the history of the scenic spots we saw very well. He is funny and patient and gives clear instructions. He even made a playlist of great Australian artists for those motor way moments! Really worth it!
