Many wonderful and fascinating things if you're a nature lover. Damo was an excellent guide, accommodating, patient, considerate, informative and super friendly and good humoured.

Sydney: 90-Minute Panoramic Big Bus Night Tour

9.Sydney: 90-Minute Panoramic Big Bus Night Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 59 reviews · from $45

Take a 90-minute evening ride through Sydney with live commentary and views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, and, when operating, Vivid Sydney. The open upper deck gives you the best views, but bring a warm layer. Confirm the current pickup point before setting out, since stop details can change.

“An excellent opportunity to see the city at sunset. It was especially nice because the city was setting up for old years eve the next day. I fortunately this meant the bus couldn't go to all the stops. Both the driver and the tour guide were most apologetic.”

Sydney: Big Bus Panoramic Night Tour by Open-Top Bus

10.Sydney: Big Bus Panoramic Night Tour by Open-Top Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 57 reviews · 1h 30m · from $44

Spend 90 minutes seeing Sydney after dark from an open-top double-decker bus. A live English-speaking guide shares stories as you pass St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Opera House, Circular Quay, and the Harbour Bridge. You also stop for photos at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and Milsons Point. Leonie has earned praise for her guiding, but commentary is English only.

“Given the significance placed on the iconic Opera House, it was sad that the Conservatorium of Music on the route was not given any mention at all. Considering this is the very place where prospective Opera singers train. I saw lots of passengers taking photos of this building but no mention of it by the guide.”

11.Sydney by Night | Private Luxury Night Tour | 3 Hour Tour | Includes Supper

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · from $355

See Sydney after dark with a private local guide, usually Scott or Julia. In three hours, you’ll visit the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, and The Rocks. The tour includes supper at Harry’s Cafe de Wheels, a nightcap at a historic pub, and pickup and drop-off from your hotel or cruise terminal.

“Did this after a full day excursion to the Blue Mountains so as tired as I was I wouldn’t have missed this night tour for anything. My guide, Scott, was very personable and stock full of local history and insights. You haven’t fully seen Sydney until you’ve seen how beautiful it is at night. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
