Sydney Harbour bike tours: which route
Only the e-bike tour rides across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It also goes to the Sydney Observatory and Mrs Macquarie's Chair.
The two Bonza rides start in The Rocks and pass the Opera House and the bridge. The 4-hour ride adds Darling Harbour and the Royal Botanic Garden.
E-bike tours in Sydney
The harbour tour is an e-bike tour, so the motor helps on the hills. You still need to ride a bike and use the gears.
Bonza says e-bike upgrades may be available when you arrive. Ask them before you book if you want one.
Bike or bus?
If cycling is not for you, the hop on hop-off Sydney bus covers the same sights sitting down.
These rides stay in the centre. For things to do in Penrith, Sydney, in the west of the city, plan your own day out.
Can I do it? Fitness, age and height
You need to know how to ride a bike on all three tours. The e-bike tour asks for moderate fitness.
The e-bike tour is not for children under 12, riders over 120 kg or riders under 150 cm. The Bonza rides take children, with kids' bikes, baby seats and tag-along bikes. They are not for people with heart problems.
Tips for a Sydney bike tour
Wear closed shoes
None of the three tours allows open-toed shoes.
What is not included
On the Bonza rides, drinks at the refreshment stop and tips are not included. The e-bike tour includes water and sunscreen.
Price per hour
The 4-hour ride costs about €23 an hour. The e-bike tour is about €29 an hour, and the 2.5-hour ride about €30.
If your plans change
All three show free cancellation on GetYourGuide. Check the cut-off time before you pay.
