See Sydney after dark from the open top deck of a Big Bus double-decker on this 1.5-hour guided night tour. As the city lights come on, the bus crosses the Sydney Harbour Bridge, giving you clear views of the Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay and the illuminated city skyline. Along the way the tour makes two photo stops at some of the most scenic lookouts in Sydney, Milsons Point and Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, so you can capture the harbour and its landmarks at night. Throughout the journey, a live English-speaking guide shares stories, history and lesser-known facts about the sights you pass, with headphones provided on arrival. This is a non-stop panoramic tour that starts and ends at the same stop near Circular Quay, making it an easy and relaxed way to enjoy the city in the evening, whether it is your first visit to Sydney or you are seeing it again from a new angle.
