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.

A great day out with our visitor from Western Australia who was visiting Sydney for the first day. Also a terrific trip for me as I got to test my knowledge of the city I grew up in - AND see a number of newer locations that had sprung up in my absence. I found your app to be a little challenging to navigate as there is SO much information there, but your phone operator was terrific - even radioing the bus driver to advise minutes until they arrived at our stop.

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

    It had convenient locations for pickup and stops. I had some hearing issues with the guided tour information. The audio wasn't of sufficient quality for me to understand. Our frustration was that we waited 40 minutes for another bus after hopping off at a location to see a site. It became clear that we wouldn't be able to hop off with the time constraints as they were.

    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
