Amazing, 100% recommend for first timers

It was very amazing and informative. Riley was the guide and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He explained everything in a very fun way that kept us all entertained and engaged the entire ride! I recommend it 100%

Great Cruise

We thoroughly enjoyed this harbor cruise, and the informative commentary. There was plenty of room for many of us on the very top deck to get great views, and for those who preferred to be below or inside, there was availability as well. The tour went around the harbor, under the bridge, covering a large area on both sides. Prices were competitive; the boat left on time, and the crew was friendly.

An amazing

It was an amazing day in Sydney. The stunning views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge were unforgettable. Learning about Aboriginal culture made the experience even more meaningful and deepened my appreciation and love for this beautiful city.

Express Excellence

This is a fantastic harbour cruise that hits all of the essentials. It you only have an hour to spare, this tour is really the best option. Our guide kept the tour light but informative.

Truely awlful! Such bad commentary all the way, bad customer service at the wharf.

After purchasing our tickets at one of the booths along the wharf we were told the cruise departed from wharf 6. We went straight there as cruise was leaving soon, no one there so asked a young girl there and she told us to go in this line, promptly got told off by a lady working for Cruise and said she needed to book us in and to come back to the office….we had just brought the tickets so what was this about….made us feel unwelcome and stupid. She then took us down and the crew had already pulled the ramp up so had to bring that down again for us to board along with some late comers. Then the commentary started…OMG it was bad!. Cringy to be honest, this guy was talking to us like we were in his lounge, bringing up things like their Prime minister was on the front page of the Herald today doing the splits!. His opinion on the fact the Mark Walberg was in town shooting a film. To be honest there wasn’t much in the way of history along the way, we were expecting stories of First Nation land and the names, European settlement and the developing settlements. He did point out the odd historical building, but regaled stories of bad buildings like the new Fish Market and what was wrong with it etc but nothing that we or anyone around us found interesting. To be honest we were just relieved when he stopped talking as we came back under the bridge. I would not recommend

Cruise

We went from Wharf 6 in Sydney harbour, the boat was comfortable with great visibility, we sat on the upper deck. The experience was brilliant, the commentary was informative and interesting. Brilliant from start to finish.

Nice overview of harbour, tour guide very friendly. There was some very loud tourists on the boat making it difficult to hear.
