    The bus schedule seemed to be very erratic, but a bus finally came by and we were able to find seats. The drivers were minimally friendly and did not have much interaction with guests. We did not go to Bondi Beach - did the city route only. Headsets worked well, even though the narration did not exactly match location at all times. This is the only Hop-On Hop-Off service in Sydney, so there isn't an alternative solution.

    My husband and I had a great experience with this hop on/ hop off bus and recommend this excursion if you’re only in Sydney for a few days. It’s a nice way to learn about the city’s history and gain high level sightseeing. We went on a Monday and had no issues getting a seat at the top deck (we hopped off twice to try both red and blue routes). This bus is NOT intended to shuttle you to another reservation / booking. I see that some people are upset that the shuttle isn’t punctual — Note that this is not an Uber situation. Bus shuttles are large vehicles to drive. The driver needs to check people boarding the bus, monitor cameras to ensure everyone is seated throughout, and navigate city traffic. If you go in with expectations that this is high level tour of the city, you will have a great time. The audio matched the driving landmarks.

    My wife and I purchased the 2-day pass. Day 1, we reached Stop 20 King Street Wharf at 9 AM. More than hour later, a bus arrived, stopped with both doors shut. A few seconds later, the bus driver drove off without offering any explanation or instructions. The bus was full but there was no excuse for the driver no to greet us and give any instruction. We boarded the next bus at about 10:45 AM. Day 2, we waited at Stop 14 Sydney Fish Market at approximately 1:45 PM. We had to walk to Darling Harbour to catch the harbour cruise. We had no opportunity to ride the Big Bus on Day 2, which suggested that we could have saved money to purchase a one-day Big Bus tour and would have seen more of Sydney by riding the Sydney public transport. The app, though helpful and useful, can be misleading. Buses disappeared from the map of City Explorer. While on vacation, time is always precious. Big Bus Hop On Hop Off is not an effective way to explore Sydney. In a negative way, it wasted our time due to cumbersome routes, directions and locations of stops.

    The staff is very friendly and helpful. But... The buses end early. Our "tour" started at 10:30AM at the Museum stop near the CBD. We traveled to the Sydney Opera House. Following our tour of the SOH, we got a quick lunch and back on the bus. There was no time to see much else because when we reached the Rocks we were told that service was over for the day. We then had to make our own way back to our hotel. If you want to see Sydney and not get off the bus, then do it. But... if you want to get off and see anything, you will quickly run out of time. The HOHO bus is $40. Local buses, trams etc., are $2.50 or less per ride. Do the math. Personally, I would not do it again.

    I’ve taken a hop on bus in dozens of cities. This was not the best, and it was not the worst. The bathroom was limited and often seemed poorly timed to the stops (describing things after we saw them), and I don’t understand why this stops running so early in the day, but it does got the major sites and is nice you can switch to the blue line to get out to Bondi.
