    Great day out, good info coming through the headphones about the local history of each area as we passed through. Get on and off at any stop you like. Nth Bondi RSL for lunch was yummo.

    It showed me around Sydney in the limited time I had. So wonderful to keep coming back the the harbour when I thought we were well away from it.

    The ticketing experience turned out to be a nightmare for us. We needed to unlock our International online bank app to pay you. Didn't realise your company was based in Berlin. When we opened the banking app we were immediately scammed for $200. Next time we pay cash...it's safer

    We had a GREAT time on both the bus and the water cruise! We only went on the red route and not the blue route. There was a problem getting them to honor our ticket for the cruise. The information on the code was just for the bus, but not the cruise, even though the cruise was in the title. After working with the folks from The Big Bus, we got it straightened out. Apparently, you're using an older code. The bus trip was great about hitting all the highlights of the city.
