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.

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!

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.

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.

Location of pick up point was unclear and difficult to locate. The guide microphone was poor and she was difficult to understand.

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.
