Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a really fun one and we enjoyed the walks as a couple. We did a series of walks over a series of days in order to complete the whole thing. There was a lot of variety of scenery while the photographic opportunities were simply stupendous.

Sydney Harbour Circle Walk is quite a long distance to do in a single day, unless you are really dedicated! We have walked sections of this distance and it is very relaxing. It also offers wonderful opportunities for amazing sightseeing along the way. The Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautiful and this walk would be a good excuse to enjoy it!

The place is very busy with tourists taking photos. It is advisable to wear a comfortable pair of shoes. Lots of restaurants to eat and rest your feet. Evening is a nice place to go and enjoy a meal there.

The walk around Sydney Harbour is usually crowded. It is surrounded by over priced tourist traps, as in bars and restaurants. The air is usually heavily polluted and visibility poor. It is a route from the train and bus depot to the Opera House and the Botanic Gardens. The Botanic Gardens have some merit, but otherwise give this place a miss.

We were there on 30 Dec and we can feel the energy of this place. It also has far more restaurants and pubs on this stretch then on the other side.

First off, wear comfortable shoes! There are so many things to see and do that you will get carried away and then realize you still must walk back.
We were there during Christmas and the weather was amazing, so everyone was out and it did get congested at times. We walked under the Bridge several times and it was nice to get out of the sun and still be able to stand and watch the boats. There are plenty of places to eat or just stop off for a drink over by the Opera House. There were a few street performers too. We saw plenty of security men as well, so we weren’t worried about our safety at night.

This is an easy, level walk, filled with shops, restaurants, amazing views and plenty of people watching. The city and harbour are beautiful from so many different angles. This walk provides a good way to experience it.

Hello, I'm interested in doing the 4 day harbour circle walk. I would like to know about accommodation at Greenwich, woolwich and Balmain. Also good places to eat on the track. Thanks in advance, Victoria

Greenwich is basically a residential suburb of Sydney; similarly Woolwich.
Look at Google maps or similar to observe.
Suggest you look at Trip Advisor for places to stay or try bnb.
Best wishes,
a beautiful walk.
