Booking Tickets online was easy. Ability to track the Bus on the App was handy and easy. Close up and Great views of all the sites from the top of the Bus. Interesting and informative commentary.

Get a 48hr pass, a little cheaper and more time to stop and go. The headphones were a nice touch for local information.

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.

Best way to familiarise ourselves with Sydney and Bondi. Got to see all the major tourist attractions and the ease of getting on and off where we pleased was awesome.

Ticketing was simple online. Loved the location finder for the Hop On Hop Off Bus. Clean bus and loved that the bottom deck was air-conditioned! Commentary via the headphones worked well. Good Value.

Use Google trad, this is in French... Very welcoming, the routes and audio commentaries are pleasant. However, not all stops are well chosen. The bus waits in places with no view or interest, which is a shame. A pleasant experience, though.

Not good: too long waiting time before the bus came ( more than 1 hour !) It is a pitty that the bus is not stopping on Some highlight places to make a picture.

The fact that you can ride to the most distant tourist attractions, such as the blue route. I just didn't think there should be any waiting time at the break at point 1. Sydney's heavy traffic is a big problem and you lose a lot of time and can't stop at many places. The hours from 9am to 4pm are very short.

There was no waiting around. The bus came shortly after we arrived and we did hop off - and again no issue waiting around to hop back on another bus. We did both the red and blue routes. The weather was glorious - we spent out time on the top deck for the best views and the commentary was very educational. Would definitely recommend !

Great opportunity to see and access parts of Sydney I wouldn't have made it to. Loved the upper level of the bus as you could see more and further than if at street level! However I'm sure the commentary/information was much more detailed and better a few years ago... it was ok but didn't really inform as much about buildings/spaces as you passed. That was disappointing.

The experience was good. What I don't understand is when it's say the ticket is for 24 hrs by then the bus finishes at 4pm? We activated our ticket around 10am. We got off ar 3 places. The last place was Bondi Beach. We got to the bus before 4pm to catch the hop on hop off bus. After waiting for over 30 minutes, we called and was told there is no more bus service. Which means that's the end of our $69.00 ticket we only used for 5 hrs? Please explain what you mean by 24 hrs. How does it work if the bus starts at 9 and finishes at 4pm? Thanks

We had the joint ticket to do the Sydney & Bondi ride. We had planned at changing at Central but there was no announcements. Therefore we ran out of time to use the full ticket.

Very good tour, good frequency and with the Bus Tour App also a clear display of where the buses are and how long they still need to get to the next stop!
