Showed my QR code that was emailed to me by Viator, and they have me a paper ticjet so i didn't have to keep opening my phone every time i hopped on. Super easy. The commentary on the Big Bus was short but informative, with Australian music played in between stops and points of interest - loved that! The frequency is not like in London as they only had 2 buses on the Blue route to Bondi (every 45min) and 4 buses on the Red route within the city (about every 25min) so you have to plan your day and stops well.

We enjoy these Hop on.. Hop off double decker bus tours around the city.. it is so convenient, you get to see the city and learn through their audio tape which is offered in many languages. What we like is then we go back and visit what has impressed us . You can buy your tickets on line or there upon entering . They accept credit cards. They provide you earpieces and a map. You can buy 1 or 2 day tickets and it also includes a harbour boat ride . They have two lines a red line and a blue line ( which takes you to Bondi Beach) Suggestions: bring a hat & sweater and have sunscreen if you sit at the top of bus .

What a fantastic way to see the sights of Sydney, prior to deciding which place to visit for an extended tour. Informative through the recorded spiel, you get the info as you scan the sights. There is also a chance to do a night time bus so you are able to see the sights of Sydney lit up by the assisted lighting

Always a fan of hop-on, hop-off bus tours. Though, I'd suggest to plan for 2 days, as 1 day with going both routes does not give enough time, to actually hop off and enjoy all the sight seeing places.

It took us 1 hour to find the bus stop at Hyde Park I messaged in viator app and got no response. We phoned bus driver and directions were wrong or unclear.

Definitely get the 48 hour pass, it gives you a lot of time to get off when you need to and see all the sights. We’ve done many HOHO tours in other cities, and like the others they are all good. The app is great to track the buses location along their route. The times and bus spacing doesn’t match the advertised stop time, but that’s understandable in a city with many traffic lights. The free WiFi available in their busses was not available on every bus we were on over the 2-days, if I remember correctly, it may have been only available/turned on, on two of the busses we travelled on. Thanks.

Wait to start the ride if the top is full, if you're looking to get a view of the city. Otherwise, a convenient way to get around.

One of the bettere hop on hop off bus experiences I've had. The routes were well selected, hitting many of Sydney's highlights, and the commentary informative and entertaining.

Helpful friendly drivers, and the real time bus tracker on the app is great. 48hr option lets you see all the highlights.

We enjoyed our ride on the bus. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time when we changed lines. We did see so much! I recommend doing this to get oriented after landing in Sydney.
