Absolutely brilliant! Even my teenagers loved it. Beautiful boat and lovely food. The host had lots of historical information about the boat and Sydney. Sailing past the Opera house and under the Harbour Bridge was breathtaking. We all agreed that it was our favourite activity in Sydney and we had a great time wandering through The Rocks area once we got off the boat. Couldn’t have been a better way to spend an evening.

This tour was a blast!! Chris was the funniest, knowledgeable, interesting guide I ever had. His stories are the best and he will take you to places other tours won’t go as well as the common sights at slightly off times, hence you can enjoy more peace and quiet. Book this tour and just enjoy this fun ride. You can check him out on yt too! Raman hunter is his tag. He is really really great!
