T our in Sydney

How far is the Four Seasons to the Holiday Inn Harbour  which is now  the Rydges Sydney Harbour. 

Not sure if it is better to take Grayline tour or Viator tour for the Blue Mountains tour.

We are going to stay at the Rydges and have booked one of those Blue Mountain tours leaving from the Four Seasons. It is a 1/3 of a mile , or 450 meters. So about a 5 minute walk.

Which company are you taking  aviator or grayline?  Grayline said pickup is at Four Seasons at 7:20. Viator has not told me where or what time.

Viatour are a US? tour company - they don't run tours in Australia - they are promoting someone else's tour. Greyline is a well-known tour operator here.

From what I understand, Viatour and Trip Advisor are 'tour consolidators' - they are the middle man. I think they also own Cruise Critic.

I booked them through TripAdvisor . The company name is Great Camping Adventures Pty Ltd . You could google them and book direct . Great Camping told me our pick up time is 6:50 am. It is a 14 hour tour to the blue mountains. Bus ride there and boat ride back down to Sydney harbor.

Trying to figure out what we will be doing the rest of the week.

Some suggestions:

- climb the bridge, or at least the pylon & walk across on the pedestrian path

- tour Opera House & walk in Botanical Gardens

- ferry to Manly & walk thru to beach

- visit the zoo (ferry)

- HOHO bus city tour & out to Bondi

- explore The Rocks

- take a Harbour Cruise

- visit Darling Harbour for lunch/dinner

- have a pie at Harry's down at the 'loo

- dine at Sydney Tower for the 360 degree views

- attend a sporting event at Sydney Cricket Ground (depends on season you are here)
