Rare tupper10 Posted September 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2008 We are going to be in Sydney one day before our cruise leaves. We were going to do a 'cruise tour' but they don't offer any for some reason. We would like a suggestion for a reputable company to see the highlights of the city. We don't mind walking and we don't want to do the bridge climb - in reality though in theory it sounds great. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are asking for names of tour operators. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted September 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2008 http://www.visitnsw.com/ click on Sydney, on the left or download Sydney NSW Guide for lots of ideas of what to do in Sydney. There are two tourist buses - Sydney Explorer and Bondi Explorer for independent hop on hop off travel. http://www.sydneybuses.info/tourist-services/sydney-explorer.htm Otherwise you can just ride the ferries and explore wherever they take you on beautiful Sydney Harbour, which is what I do everytime I visit.

moojar Posted September 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi, I have no personal experience, but this bus-tour company is big and reputable. They do tours all over Australia, including in and around Sydney: http://www.aatkings.com/au/index.php?brochure_id=2351 And here is a personal website with ideas for travelers, if you decide you want to do your own thing: http://members.ozemail.com.au/%7Emacinnis/syd/quicksyd.htm Hope this helps! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjscott Posted September 4, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Tupper10, we liked the Explorer Bus, mentioned by MMDown Under. There are two different routes and they cover a lot of ground in a short time. It's a hop-on/hop-off deal, so if you see an area you want to explore a bit, you can stop there for a while and hop on the next Explorer Bus. Now, the drivers do some narration, but it may not be as comprehensive as what you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayaguru Posted September 6, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Captain cook cruises are good. They have lunch and dinner cruises and also coffee cruises which are nice. http://www.captaincook.com.au For a cheap option just get the Manly ferry from circular quay to Manly (only a few dollars) look around Manly beach then get it back again. http://www.sydneyferries.info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tupper10 Posted September 7, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think we have decided to do the hop off and hop on bus since we don't know how we will feel after flying for two days. The tours all leave in the early morning. I am not sure we will be up and ready to roll by 8:30 AM. Thanks to everyone for all your help. I get loads of info from everyone and this site has really helped me plan our trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
