        Convicts, Castles Sydney Harbour Tour

        Vanessa 27 November 2024

        This tour was great, the boat had a lot of history, the tour of Goat Island was interesting, the guides really knew their history of the harbour, the island and the boat. The lunch provided was delicious. Was lovely just sailing out in the harbour in what was beautiful weather.

        A beautiful piece of nostalga

        Denis 31 December 2023

        I think every male (not sure about females) would want to be a sailor travelling the high seas. What a beautiful 102 year old ship. Heaps of charm about this ship. The crew were fantastic and the trip to Goat Island was eye opening. Our guide, Ruth, whilst possibly a bit new to this tour nonetheless had heaps of info about Sydney's birth. Truly memorable for all the right reasons. 10 out of 10.

        Wonderful experience

        Michael 29 August 2022

        Most amazing experience from beginning to end. Staff were all keen to share so much knowledge, they were funny and helpful and generous with their time. The Goat Island tour was a rare treat - luckily it had stopped raining but it would have still been great anyway. The appetisers, drinks and lunch were tasty - but the warm brownie topped it all off wonderfully. Many, many thanks to the crew, but especially the tour guides - best experience in a long time - do not miss your opportunity to relive some of Sydney's history.

        very nice day,crew on board did a great job.

        David 22 April 2018

        overall a nice experience, would recommend as a day out on the harbor on an old tall ship.

        Helen 6 April 2018

        We had great weather so that added to the enjoyment. The harbour was beautiful and our trip on the tall ship was smooth and interesting. The food was tasty as well. The island was interesting and our guide brought it to life with his stories.

        Great experience and insight into Sydney's past history and features

        Disappointing and poorly organised

        Dane 2 January 2016

        Was on this tour 2/1/16. The boat arrived late, we did not get lunch as they had run out (happens often apparently!), and then to make up time, they chopped out time on the water after the island walk, for us to then sit waiting outside Circular Quay for 1/2 an hour for our spot on the wharf; during which time the bar was also closed. We were very disappointed, and very hungry and did not consider this good value for money (around 12-15 people missed out on lunch, out of a group of 50).

        Facinating history and great vantage point.

        Peter 20 December 2015

        This is a great tour of Goat Island. We got to walk all over the island and our guide was very informative and interesting to listen to. Lots of history here and it was all extremely interesting. Just a pity the island is not used for anything much anymore. A huge home on the hill lies empty and would be a fantastic reception house. Money could go to help preserve the rest of the island.

        It was a wonderful day and very interesting.

        Diane 25 November 2015

        We really enjoyed the Castle Sydney Harbour tour. The only disappointment was we thought we were going on the Tall Ship as that is what is said on out voucher. We didn't know there had been a change till one of the tour guides told us at the end off the trip. Two people nearly missed the tour as they were waiting for the Tall Ship.

        Very disappointing

        Lynette 24 November 2015

        My children booked us a Tall Ship tour as my husband had always wanted to sail on a Tall Ship. We were extremely upset when a ferry arrived. We were not informed of the change. I do intend to phone and complain.
