This was very educational and interesting! A few times I felt that the audio wasn't in sync with where we were but I do understand that the bus is on the road and has to obey traffic and laws, but sometimes we had wait music and the thing we were supposed to see was going by maybe they should have a way to skip the wait music in those instances. I did really like the tour tho and I learned alot ❤️

We got on the Red line at Circular Quay stop #1. We got off at stop #8 and hopped on the Blue line that took us to Bondi Beach. We started late and only had a half an hour before the last bus came back from Bondi Beach. We stayed on this until we got back to stop #8 and got back on the Red line. We saw so much of the city in just a few hours. Well worth the money to get an overview of Sydney.

These two city tours are a great way to discover Sydney. The commentary provides sufficient descriptions of the city's history and anecdotes. The ticket is valid for 24 hours, so if you start at noon, it will be valid until noon the next day. For your information, the night tour, purchased on site, is only in English, but it gives another nice glimpse of Sydney.

The 48 hours window should be two days rather then by hour to hour. We could only use it for first day. The bus should consider dropping guests right in front of Opera House. The Blue Line overhead announcements for various stops were after the bus had already departed.
