The scenery is beautiful, but it only lasts 1.5 hours, so hurry up to enjoy the scenery and eat. Mainly enjoying the beautiful scenery and the food is okay. The price will be cheaper on weekdays.

The guided tour of the double-decker bus is a good way to get started in a new city. After taking the tour, it is very convenient and easy to walk the itinerary by yourself. It is really convenient to use the app to hop on and off, but I hope you can recommend the bus time. It can open into the evening, or increase the frequency a little bit. Visiting Sydney at night should also be a great experience! (Although I know white people don’t like to work at night)
