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.
