The narrated tour of Sydney for both Red and Blue routes was very informative. Even though years ago I worked at n the city, the few hours of the tour provided me with even more background on the city. Lunch at Bondi was great

Has some issues getting our third batch of tickets. One teacher had a JCB card, but the other two of us succeded the first time and couldn't get the last 6 teenagers. We ended up having to pay cash. The ride was great though. So not all love but there was an overall a good experience.
