    Saw all the icon sights of Sydney with a few extra ones we were unaware of thrown in. Commentary was informative and the photos opportunities were wonderful. Booking was easy online, and checking in was simple once we found where we needed to go. (Directions were perhaps not as clear as they could be)

The iconic Opera House gleams in the sunlight, gliding past the Harbour Bridge and sailing past bobbing sailboats.
