I would be in Sydney for two days. I wanted to see the Sydney Olympic Park - especially the aquatic centre. I do not enjoy walking so was thrilled to find a Bonza Bike self-tours. This information connected me with further tours available with Bonza. Although I was leary at first to book things on-line, after communicating with Mike by email I signed up for the 1/2 day Sydney Classic Tour and the full day self-guided tour of the Olympic Park.
The 1/2 day tour was great! Too my surprise, I was the only one on the tour, which turned out to be wonderful. My tour was able to be customized for my interests. Yes I got to see the fabulous sights of Sydney which I did not know existed. Yes I got to do this without a lot of walking. Yes I got a lot of relevant information from my tour guide - Anthony. I was able to get pictures gallore with Anthony acting as photographer or simply waiting patiently as I took in the sights and took my own pictures.
If you are leary about the fitness level required to complete the tour - don't. The bike was in excellent condition. The tour would not start until the bike had been fitted to me and instructions on using the bike's gears and some safety related information was provided. With the strategic use of gears I was able to enjoy the tour. Only one hill, leading to the Observatory required me to stop on the way up. Anthony patiently waited for me to catch my breath and give my legs a rest. Once at the top the view was well worth it! I couldn't find another tour that provided me with the ability to view as much of Sydney as this tour, within the four hour time frame and at the excellent price. It is definitly excellent value for money.
The Olympic Park tour was excellent. I was given a bike, helmet, lock and then a day pass for the ferries, trains and busses along with maps and information for Olympic Park. I did not have to worry about returning the bike at a specific time to meet them. Arrangements were made to return the bike and equipment at a secure location. I could enjoy my time without being rushed to return at any specific time.
The only downfall I had with my two days in Sydney, which Bonza Bike Tours could NOT control, was the day at the Olympic Park. It rained all day. Even though I got wet it was a lot of fun.
As a Canadian small business owner I recognize the benefit of treating customers right. Bonza Bike Tours will do that. You can be sure that your tour will run, rain or shine, with one or more people and that your tour will be as customized to your likes as they can, while ensuring you still see the essential Sydney icons.
