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.

- Liisa and Dave BAdelaide, Australia4,216 contributionsBotanic Gardens Sydney is a must-visit oasis in the heart of the city. Nestled along the waterfront, the gardens offer a perfect blend of natural beauty and serene walking paths, making it a fantastic escape from the hustle and bustle. The well-maintained landscapes showcase an incredible variety of native and exotic plants, and each season brings new life and colors to explore.
Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, can be seen from various points throughout the garden. There’s also a lot to learn here, with informative signs detailing the history and characteristics of the plants and wildlife.
The Calyx is a standout attraction within the gardens, often hosting beautiful floral displays and exhibitions. Whether you want to stroll leisurely, have a picnic, or learn about botany, the Botanic Gardens cater to everyone. It’s a peaceful, lush haven that offers a refreshing break, with plenty of spots to sit, relax, and soak in the atmosphere. Highly recommended for nature lovers, families, and anyone visiting Sydney!Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Iain MBrisbane, Australia446 contributionsThe best way to appreciate the historic rocks area is to walk. There are many things to see such as the beatiful terraced houses and cottages, the Harbour Bridge and Observatory Hill. There many places to eat at and/or have a drink, including a couple of old pubs full of character.
There is also a large market on the weekend.Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ee9781,024 contributionsViews of the city, water, and landmarks are great, but it is a little pricey for the time you actually need to spend on the observation deck.

- leuveenUnited Kingdom1,311 contributionsThis is a fantastic walk for anyone who wants to see the top attractions but also have a lovely walk. Lots of toilets/cafes/food kiosks on the way. And plenty of benches to rest on.Written 29 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adventure365807676794 contributionsThis is an absolute hidden gem. The location is very near to the famous Opera House and other Sidney attractions. But honestly, we enjoyed this more than anything. The tour has something for everyone. There is history, anthropology, geology, art and architecture, shipping and sailing lore, gardens with fruit bats, and the wonderful old operational historic telescopes. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and we got to watch them rotate the observatory dome so we could look through the telephone. Do not miss this tour.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
