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.

    Walked the whole perimeter of the Opera House, Sydney's famous & iconic building. Magnificent 'sails' of the Opera House gleaming in the sunshine - just awe-inspiring. Enjoyed Harbour Bridge impressive views. On Manly ferry, had different stunning vistas from the ocean back towards the Opera House, also gorgeous dusk photos. We haven't been to Sydney in a long while - now revisit; we'll definitely be back soon.. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)

    We had the luxury of enjoying views of the harbour from multiple angles both from land and sea, and whichever way you look it is stunning, so iconic

    Sydney is NOT a cheap place. But this ferry system was cheap, clean, fun and efficient. My pick would be to take the ferry out to Mannly beach. Great beach and great trip.

    We had the most informative and beautiful walking tour of the gardens led by Robin - A lovely and extremely generous man who shared his knowledge of the park and its diverse plant history

    Good: Caught the Free Blue CAT bus to King’s Park and walked through the botanical gardens. Loads of different Australian plants and various birds. Great views over the river towards Perth and Fremantle.
    Not so good: Very busy at the weekend. Some interesting sculptures. Really liked the Australian women path.

    I enjoyed an unforgettable walk over the Sydney harbour bridge. Amazed by the beauty of the architecture of the bridge. I also loved the excellent view over Sydney itself and especially the very best view over the Sydney Opera House. There is also a possibility to climb over the bow of the Harbour Bridge, of course with safety equipment. Climbing over the bridge will cost something. Just walking over the bridge is free.

    Stunning foreshore area in the heart of Brisbane. This area is over 30 years old but it is truly a beautiful place filled with so many places to visit from vegetarian gardens, a beach and pools, bars and cafes, stunning gardens, markets, cultural and exhibition centres and walkways. Takes about 20 minutes to walk the length but you'll be stopping so frequently so you could easily spend hours here. It's clean, peaceful and amazing to visit right in the heart of the city.

    The war memorial is an absolute must on your visit to Canberra. Whilst it is undergoing large renovations, there is still so much to see. I would highly recommend a visit (and pack the tissues).

    Amazing walk took longer than recommended time, so much to see, we were fortunate that sculpture by the sea was on. The views and beaches are magnificent so many people and it was a Tuesday weekend would be too busy

    We did the night tour with Elisa, and it was the most incredible experience ever! We got up close and personal with every animal! Elisa’s knowledge is unmatched and her passion for the wildlife is infectious! 10/10, could not recommend more!

    Jewel Cave is the best display of limestone formations in a single location that I have visited. Our Guide , Tony, was expert and enthusiastic making our experience even better.

    We enjoyed our visit to The Great Aussie Beer Shed and Heritage Farming Museum in Echuca. The museum is only open on weekends, but will open on weekdays by appointment. My friends made an appointment to visit on a Thursday afternoon. What an amazing place! The owner collects all kinds of stuff, much of which is related to beer. He was so enthusiastic about his collection when he gave a presentation. His collection is quite large. I was able to ring the bell that marked the last lap of races in the 1956 Olympic Games, which were held in Melbourne. The collection includes the world's rarest beer can. Neil, the owner, was a wonderful host and I highly recommend a visit.
