I've always wanted to explore a city using the Hop On Hop Off Bus and I finally had the opportunity…read morewhile visiting Sydney. I purchased the Go City Pass and was able to redeem one of the attraction options for the bus. They have two routes: The red route (city center), and the blue route (beaches). I took the red route. I was able to get a ticket at the Central Station stop. There was an attendant posted at the bus stop who was very helpful with ticket redemption. He also gave me info on the bus routes and schedule. If you download the app, you can track the buses in real time. Your ticket comes with headphones that you can use for the audio guide. The audio tour has multiple language options. The bus is great if you want to use it to take a sightseeing tour. The entire circuit takes 1.5 hours for the blue route and 1.75 hours for the red route. Along the way we saw major sites like the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. I took the bus to the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and then continued the rest of the route after my visit. Both drivers that I had weren't great at giving enough time for patrons to get on/off the bus. It takes a bit longer since it's a double decker bus. At one point, patrons had to yell to the driver to stop because people were still trying to make their way off the bus from the upper deck. There's a security camera on board so I assumed the driver can see when everyone has entered/exited the bus, but maybe not. My one piece of advice: Do not rely on the bus for transportation if you are in a hurry. There are a lot of stops and it can take time. At one point on the way back from the Aquarium, the driver took a 20 minute break. I contemplated getting off because I was running short on time, but luckily it worked out. The bus is a great way to explore the city and can be a nice form of transportation if you aren't pressed for time.

Ok. It's not the best Hop On Hop Off bus, but it worked well for our family to explore Sydney…read more Bought a Go City-Sydney Card. Five different attractions for around $90 USD. This worked quite well because it gave us flexibility as we explored Sydney. A one day bus pass is $65 AUD/$42 USD. So easy to collect our passes for the day using the Go City app. Nice that they could accommodate a rollator on the first level for my dad, while my husband and I climbed the stairs to the open top second level. Made a full loop to get a good overview of the city on the Red Loop. Sydney Opera House. Hyde Park. St. Mary's Cathedral. Barangaroo. Woolloomoolo Bay. State Library. The Rocks. Sydney Harbor Bridge. Royal Botanic Gardens. Darling Harbor. King Street Wharf. The audio which is in multiple languages gave a nice introduction to the major attractions in Sydney. Hopped on at Sydney Tower/Westfield Sydney. Definitely look on the app to find the pickup location which is actually near a jewelry store. The app shows a photo of the pickup location. So easy to take the bus to the Royal Botanical Garden and the Sydney Opera House. Also used the Go City Sydney card for booking an accesible tour of the Sydney Opera House. The Hop On Hop Off Buses are not on a specific schedule, so it was a bit of a challenge with the schedule. Buses only run until 5. Good for an overview of the city, but also used UBER to get from place to place.

Matt is a stellar driver so we felt safe at all times, he's super collaborative on how to spend the time, and thoughtful beyond expectation to ensure we had great places to eat even with 2 vegans and 1 celiac. And to top it off, he's the kind of guy you can just relax with, get to know each other, and laugh a lot. It was an amazing day. Highly recommend. And he's an amazing photographer who spent the day taking pictures so we could just enjoy the time without the hassle of grabbing the phone.

She is in her 70's, and I , myself, use a cane. Matt was prompt, personable, and informative. We went to several locations that were outside the normal "tourist traps". We learned about the different plants and trees, and even found out how to make soap in the bush. We got up close, personal, and hands on with some koalas & kangaroos. Had lunch at a local spot, and a local beach. Even had a surprise of a colony of flying fox bats! The trip was amazing, and Matt made us feel like old friends. I was also able to buy an authentic Aboriginal eucalyptus boomerang for my dad (unable to go due to last minute hip issue needing a replacement). We had a FULL day that we were all able to enjoy thoroughly. Thank you, Matt.

I booked the twilight bridge climb and I am still not quite sure what possessed me. Let me explain,…read moreI am in my mid sixties, fat, out of shape and deadly afraid oof heights. It didn't look so bad on pictures, but once I saw the bridge in person and in particular how tiny the climbers looked on top of the bridge, that was the moment fear set in. And it got worse during the preparations. You don't just walk in and climb on up there. You need to have instructions, pass a breathalyzer test, change into a special suit, get a radio, headphones, attach your glasses, hat, jacket and whatnot all to your suit and step into a heavy harness. By that time you'll start to sweat because this suit is like a plastic bag and hold in the heat. You also get to practice a climb up some ladders... oh yay. As a scaredy cat in regards of heights, I was placed up front so our guide could keep an eye on me. Good thing too. The rest of my group consisted of 20-30 year old athletic types... great. So you step on out of the building onto a catwalk and get hooked onto the safety line. This already made me regret things as I looked down onto the street below. Then our guide starts to run, yes run on this narrow catwalk... aaarggghhh... I did finally catch up with her but only because she was waiting for our group. Surprise, let's climb up 4 ladders with 25 steps each back to back... man I was huffing and puffing. Thank goodness you get to wait until everybody is up. Then you climb and climb and climb on up the stairs. I did my best and did keep up, but I was really trying hard. I gave it my all. At about 3/4 of the way, my legs were turning into jello, almost to the summit I thought I was going to throw up, but luckily we stopped to take pictures as a group and then as individuals. I recovered during this little rest. We had climbed up during daylight, by the time we reached the summit the sun was setting and the the view was spectacular. Unforgettable. Recovered due to the short rest and with the promise of no further climbing, but rather descending from here on, I was feeling much better. Thirsty, drenched in sweat and wishing I had used the restroom before the climb, but otherwise ok. Well now we had to cross from one side of the bridge to the other... at the summit, over several lanes of traffic and railroad tracks, and you can see straight down... for me, the scariest part. Then finally the descent. By now it was getting quite dark and we needed to turn on our lamps. The descent was much quicker than the climb of course and I was eager to get out of this hot suit, get a drink of water and use the rest room... no such luck. Now one has to painstakingly unbuckle all the equipment from the suit. Eventually you get to change back into your regular clothes. And just when you think you are done, you have to stand in line for the photo purchases. I had prepaid for the pictures, but still had to wait because the staff will pick out the pictures that feature you and put those with the group and scenery pictures. I do have to say our guide took fabulous pictures and they were worth the wait. Yes, I know I don't describe this adventure as a wonderful experience, it was quite strenuous, but also exciting and the view alone is absolutely worth it. Also the staff was very encouraging and if you have fear or physical concerns let them know so they can help you along the way.

Review 900! I'm not…read morea huge thrill seeker, but multiple people encouraged me to do the BridgeClimb. I regret not climbing the O2 Arena in London a few years ago so I decided to seize this opportunity; I'm so happy that I did because it was one of the highlights of my trip! Tickets: Prices vary by day, time, and type. Additionally, the prices are dynamic and can change at any time. I bought a ticket through Trip Advisor with a discount code. I chose the Summit Climb and booked a twilight start time which is apparently the most popular time to book. Check In: Allow 10-15 minutes to check in. Since I booked through a third party, I wasn't able to fill out the paperwork ahead of time. The gentleman at the front desk was so nice and assisted me with the forms. The employee asked if I had eaten. They have a café if you need to fuel up before the climb. The employee also asked about medical history. I have asthma and couldn't find my inhaler so the employee gave me a single use inhaler to take with me. Pre Climb: After check in, we spent the first hour getting ready for the climb. The safety briefing was first and included a breathalyzer test. Everyone (including children) had to do the breathalyzer. If your BAC is over 0.05, you won't be able to climb. After the briefing, we changed into jump suits. They have changing rooms and lockers for your belongings. You can't bring cell phones or watches with you and even things like hair clips aren't allowed. If you have eye/sunglasses they will give you a lanyard so that you can wear them during the climb. We also received headphones and head lamps which came in handy after sunset. Once we suited up, we practiced climbing the ladders. The ladders were a little intimidating because they're quite steep, but having the opportunity to practice while wearing the harness eased my anxiety. Climb: Some sections of the base required stepping over and bending down below beams. There were quite a few stairs and a few sets of ladders. Staff members were posted throughout the bridge to provide assistance if needed. The climb leader took individual and group photos along the way and at the summit. The views of the Harbour were spectacular! Our climb leader was Shannon and she was wonderful! She was so personable, funny, and just an all around cool gal. She gave a lot of interesting fun facts about the bridge. We had a diverse group of both children and adults hailing from multiple countries. It was cool to meet people from all over the world. Shannon held on to the inhaler and would periodically check in with me to make sure I didn't need it. There were a few times when I had to stop to catch my breath, but luckily I didn't have to use it. Post Climb: Once the climb was over, we received a souvenir (baseball hat). We also had the opportunity to purchase photos. On my way out, I ran into the employee that checked me in. He addressed me by name and asked about my experience which was so nice! You don't have to be a dare devil to do the BridgeClimb. It was a little out of my comfort zone, but I'm glad that I did it! This was one of the pricier activities that I did in Sydney, but it was totally worth it! What a unique and amazing experience that I will never forget!

For the most part, this was a good experience. The cruise itself was good, and our guide was well-…read moreinformed and well-spoken. I went on the 2-hour afternoon Harbour Story cruise. I booked online and picked up my ticket at Wharf 6. This was off-season, so only one person was in line in front of me. If you come during peak season, make sure to leave enough time to wait in line and get your tickets. You go out the proper gate and up a short gangplank. Premium customers enter at a different gate a little farther down. I was surprised there was no one at the door at the top of the gangplank. Every other cruise I've been on has someone there for safety reasons and to lend assistance as needed. There were three levels of seating. The only restrooms were downstairs, below the bottom seating level where you get on and off. There was an (erroneous) assumption that everyone would go upstairs to the top. I could not take the stairs and was the only one seated on the bottom level. It was as though I didn't exist. I could not hear the tour guide, and had to ask for the volume to be raised, which was done reluctantly. I don't think anyone told the guide I was there; everything was presented only for the perspective of those sitting up top. Not a single staff member acknowledged my existence; no one greeted me, no one even smiled. They walked past me as though I wasn't even there. There was coffee, tea, and Anzac biscuits available - but only up top. If you can't get up there or don't have someone who can go for you, forget it. Not one staff member checked with me to see if I wanted something. To be fair, I did not ask. For the first 30-45 minutes, I had to put up with a lot of noise. Silverware was loudly being separated and the kitchen door remained open with music playing as the cooks prepped for an evening service. Later, when everything was done, some staff members sat out near where I was seated. They all seemed really tired, like their bodies were there, but that's all. I felt sorry for them and began to wonder if they're being asked to do a lot for only a little. The cruise and commentary itself were good. You get to see and learn a lot. But the company needs to remember not everyone can (or maybe wants to) go up top. I did make a note about my situation when I made my reservation online, in a space set up just for such information, but no one seemed to pay attention to this. Thank you to the staff member who was at the bottom of the gangplank who lent me a hand so I could disembark more easily.
