We rode the Sydney Explorer Bus hoping to get a feel of the city, its history and people. They sure welcomed us aboard but that was the end of it. The commentary was recorded and not very clear and often timed incorrectly. It basically pointed out the spots and seemed to approach the same area from different sides. Most of... More

Well worth doing this the first day to find your bearings - can hop on or off whenever you want More

If you have 24 hours to use this service then it is worth the money, you get 2 trips for the $35aud. The Sydney explorer and the bondi explorer. Hop on and off a your leisure, just be prepared to wait a while on the next bus coming, I waited 45 minutes for the connection from the city bus to... More

Friendly staff at Circular Quay who were keen to sell the tour. We have used the same company elsewhere with good results so were pleased to see the company operating in Sydney and bought tickets with confidence. But how wrong we were!! Our kids were bored..and so were we. The commentary said little of interest about the city beyond pointing... More

A good start - very friendly staff to begin with when purchasing our tickets. However, the service overall was very disappointing. The voice-over guide was difficult to hear and not very informative about the city and it's history. The buses were also over-crowded and stuffy. Most disappointing however, was the fact that the bus did not keep to it's advertised... More

A reasonable bargain, with or without the discounts available to seniors (like me), students, or families. In view of my limited time for sightseeing, I found the hop-on hop-off buses to be a good way to get an inexpensive overview of the central business district and Bondi. For a first-timer, the narration was adequate and informative, and I liked the... More

The bus didnt keep to a 20 minute timetable, the drivers were friendly but this is no way to get round Sydney. Very disappointing. The Bondi bus broke down and had to wait an hour for next one in heavy traffic. The commentary was annoying and the tour mainly took you round office blocks. I would stick to a Multipass... More

It stopped a lot for many minutes at each stop, no commentary, nothing - and then moved off to the next stop for another wait - didnt have much to say about sydney at all - 'there's the bridge', 'there's the war memorial', 'there's another view of the bridge', 'there's the war memorial', 'there's another view of the bridge', 'there's...

We used the explorer bus as part of our sydney pass. I enjoyed the drivers local knowledge and they were very friendly. They take you to all of the major attractions and you also get a discount leaflet for museums, sydney tower, etc. The explorer also drives across the sydney harbour bridge - the others dont. They do a sydney... More
