Booked on the website luckily as some people had issues with tickets bought through another source. We arrived with party of four adults and four children aged 13, 11, 8 and 5. Arrived at 5:40 for the six o’ clock bus. Upstairs had seats however they were scattered over the top of the bus and it was suggested that we wait for the second bus coming at 6pm. Big issues with the second bus as it didn’t turn up. The guide did but the bus didn’t. It had broken down somewhere and with some people getting agitated the situation was unfortunate. Special mention and thanks has to go to Raven who was calm and controlled in this situation and very patient with customers who had trouble with their tickets as they purchased through another supplier. Raven did her utmost to find the bus and sort a positive result for all. The tour guide also helped and was abused by one man also waiting for the bus. Big bus tours may receive unfavourable reviews however I want to stress that everything that could be done was being done. The bus turned up around 7. The tour was very good with our tour guide being very informative.
Hello Cheryl, thank you for taking the time to write a detailed and thoughtful review. The start to your tour is not the experience we strive to deliver but we are so pleased that we could turn it around for you, and that you and your party enjoyed the tour. When unexpected situations arise, we work hard to get things back on track and make sure everyone is taken care of, and we are glad we could do that in this case, particularly for your children. We will be sure to pass your comments along to Raven and our guides Stephen and John. Best Wishes from Big Bus Sydney
I had a wonderful experience on the Big Bus Night Tour, and I would like to give special thanks to Duncan. Despite our limited English, he was incredibly patient, understanding, and friendly. He went out of his way to help us and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the tour. His kindness and professionalism truly made a difference in our experience. I highly recommend him and give him an excellent rating. Thank you, Duncan!

The tour guide was very personable and informative with stops to take great photos. The bus driver was also fun to interact with at the photo stops!
G'Day Jody, thanks very much for your great review. We are so pleased our customer service team, and our driver were friendly and helpful. It is important to us that we provide a good service, and its great to hear the feedback. Best wishes from Big Bus Sydney.
Double decker so sit up top if possible. I prefer 4th row back so no glare from windshield up top. But if sensitive to wind, then take first couple of rows uptop. Had 2 short stops to get off and take amazing photo of sun setting behind Sydney Bridge with Opera House in foreground; and Sydney skyline from under Sydney Bridge on far side. Good narration by guide.

Sydney was beautiful at night. There were a few photo stops. Our guide was great too!
Thank you for your feedback and your 5-star review — We’re pleased you enjoyed the Night Tour, especially the photo stops and your guide’s commentary. Sydney really is beautiful at night, and it’s a popular experience to enjoy before or after dinner. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon.
We took this tour on a rainy, windy, night--but we still enjoyed it. The tour operator distributed rain ponchos to anyone who wanted to sit on top -- which almost everyone did since you really can't see much if you are inside the bus. The tour had live narration which was fantastic. And we crossed the Sydney Harbor Bridge and then had a stop where we could get out and take photos from UNDER the bridge ... very cool! It was really a fun and different way to see the city of Sydney, and of course the lights of the city were gorgeous.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you still enjoyed the Night Tour despite the weather and that the live narration and unique photo stop under the Harbour Bridge made it memorable. It’s a special way to see Sydney’s lights, and we’re glad you had fun with the experience.
Location of pick up point was unclear and difficult to locate. The guide microphone was poor and she was difficult to understand.
Hello Robert_B, Thank you for sharing your experience with us during your visit to Sydney. We’re truly sorry for the confusion surrounding the pick-up point. Navigating a new city can be challenging, and we always recommend checking the Route page on our website, where you’ll find photos and exact stop locations to make things easier. Our team is also available 24/7 via Live Chat, ready to assist anytime you need help. Regarding the audio quality, we’re continuously working on upgrading and improving our fleet to deliver a better experience. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. See you again soon! Alexa B @ Big Bus.
It was ok. I struggled with what rating to give it honestly. This 90 minute tour was good to see sights of the city from the bus, but I didn’t learn anything new that I couldn’t get in other ways. The bus came a little late to pick us up, the microphone has a lot of static, sometimes to the point that you couldn’t hear what the guide was saying. There were 2 places we could get out and take photos. This was the one thing on the tour I liked however, they were easily accessible places I could have gone to on my own. Overall, it was what it is listed for, but I would be good not to do it again.
Hi Ashley_L. Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that your experience was enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Best wishes, Razvan from Big Bus Tours
