A very relaxing and enjoyable trip. The guided walk on Goat island was very interesting. Our guide was very pleasant and informative. Great cruising the harbour with lunch and champagne. Would probably of liked a bit less time on the island and a bit longer on the ship. Overall great day out 😎

We did the Convicts, Castles & Champagne Tour with Sydney Harbour Tallships; and, the experience was fantastic. Our satisfaction was made possible due the professionalism and promptness of the crew. We left on time; the crew was COVID conscious; the Goat Island tour was informative; we were fed well; the staff are all friendly & helpful; and overall, a great way to see & enjoy the Sydney Harbour. Highly recommended.

This trip exceeded our expectations sailing round Sydney Harbour in a 100 year old wooden sailing vessel hearing about its history from the Captain and talking to the crew who are either volunteers or doing work experience.
The visit to Goat Island with our tour guide Esther who had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable made for an excellent tour which we found to be really interesting and informative.

The actual crew and trip itself was good but the booking via buy a gift was not a good experience and the people handling the booking and their website needs an overhaul.

Whilst there was a good bit of history - the way it was delivered by the guide was not so good and I felt he did not really have a good grasp of his subject or was properly prepared - sense of him winging it.

Had far better elsewhere.

And not sure how the castles got into the title of the tour. No castles were mentioned.

This tour is a fabulous way to see the harbour and get an insight into the history of the city. The guide was ver informative and it was interesting to see the crew operate the ship. Plenty of bubbles and the food was basic but tasty. Overall a great day out.
