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.

What we loved was that we were able to see all the Sydney attractions and pick the ones we wanted to stop off to see or com back another time.
Gaze at the Great Dividing Range
The Blue Mountains are bedecked in eucalyptus-rich rainforests that have thrived for over 100 million years and spread across hectares. The blazing Australian sun and fine oil mist from the eucalyptus leaves combine to emit a unique blue haze, earning the Blue Mountains their name.
Take in views of the world's third-largest mountain range–the Great Dividing Range, also known as the Eastern Highlands. Overlooking the Jamison Valley is a rocky trio called the Three Sisters which was formed over 200 million years ago. Yet the local myth surrounding their 3-sisters origin is even more captivating–be sure to ask your guide about it!
Dive Into Adventure at Scenic World
Embark on the most exciting part of the tour at Scenic World, where your adventure kicks off with the Scenic Skyway.Take a walk on a transparent glass floor, revealing breathtaking views of the valley below. Next, take a train ride at the steepest passenger railway in the world, with an incline of 52 degrees, suitable for all ages
Meet the Residents of Sydney Zoo
Reach the Sydney Zoo for an ultimate wildlife experience and see koalas, baby qallabies, emus, wombats, crocodiles, and more. End your tour with a ferry trip on the Parramatta River to Circular Quay, which will take you under the Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House before disembarking at Circular Quay.
