We pre-booked for a Hop-on / Hop-off bus tour, which also included a harbor cruise on Captain Cook Cruises. Red line tours the city, which takes you down to harbor next to Opera House. Also took Blue line which took us over to Bondi Beach where we had lunch; reminded me somewhat of southern France ports. ...
Can’t fault the location of the cruise ship terminal - it’s right at Circular Quay. Easy walk from public transport or dropped at the door by taxis. Gorgeous views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. ...
Sydney is the cleanest and safest big city we have traveled too. Wish we had planned on more days there but the bush fires would have limited some excursions out of the city. ...
