Rated 3 out of 5 Great crew - very hospitable & friendly; lovely boat; magical harbor to sail on, but entrees, food & dessert were all very ordinary. Would have loved a nice hot cup of tea or coffee too. 14 May 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by It was freezing cold and wet but you cannot plan the weather. I enjoyed the experience with my husband, Neil who was celebrating his 50th birthday gift received from friends. He is a keen sailor. 7 May 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by For those of us who like old ships it would have been nice to have been given a bit more history about the ship. There was about 5 minutes worth at the beginning and told to follow up with staff if you wanted more but there seemed to be little knowledge amongst most staff 27 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by I was impressed by the level of professionalism, which made the whole experience very enjoyable. The crew made us feel most welcome, whilst also ensuring that the experience was safe and comfortable. I intend to buy a RedBalloon tall ship harbour cruise for my sister's 60th birthday this year. 27 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Well organised, friendly, convenient location, congenial atmosphere, and highly suitable to combine with film at opera quays, or visit to MCA, or show at the opera house. Relaxed ambiance such that other participants = complete stangers, were happy to chat. A stronger breeze would have been good, but a bit hard to arrange I guess. 27 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Our experience was wonderful.Our hosts were friendly and very approachable/experienced and knowledgeable. The ship was clean. 26 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 After a week of rain we were lucky to have a perfect evening for our sail around the harbour. The 12 people I booked for had a lovely time and most of us caught the train to and from our experience which made the event much more relaxing as we avoided the afternoon peak-hour crush. 21 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Lovely experience, well organised, staff were helpful and timing went well. Fabulous views and the food was fine, if not totally amazing.... probably good for the price (we were given it as a gift so we're not complaining!). the staff were very approachable. 17 April 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by My husband and I enjoyed our harbour cruise very much. It was extremely well run with friendly crew . Being on a "tall ship" meant that everything was very relaxed ( no fast moving and overly noisy engines) and we were lucky to have choosen the perfect evening with a beautiful sunset. Even though we have lived in Sydney all our lives I think we saw the harbour at its best from the deck of the " Southern Swan" 14 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by A great time was had by all - shame about the weather. 13 April 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great value (bought for half price during a promotion). Friendly crew, pleasant evening out, simple but good quality food. Quite busy ie full boat, but still a good experience. 10 April 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by The team on the swan were laid back yet very helpful. A mast climb at twilight in the rain was a great experience. Thoroughly recommended. 10 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 The Southern Swan is a beautiful ship, I can't think of a better way to see such a breathtaking harbour than on this historic ship, at twilight. 8 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by It was an overall amazing experience. From the moment that we boarded the ship the staff were friendly and welcoming. Sailing around the harbour and then dinner was beyond what we had expected, with a delicious variety of foods and drinks, then sailing back to the wharf with the sunset behind the harbour bridge was spectacular. 5 April 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Great night. Great weather 1 April 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by They did not have a record of the booking, but luckily we had the vouchers with us. Once on board it was a lovely experience both historically fascinating & amazing views. The crew were very friendly & knowledgeable & the ease with which they scaled the rigging was something else. The weather was on our side & we were treated to a spectacular sunset while we tucked into the BBQ. A great evening & very relaxing way to see the harbour. 1 April 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by I very much enjoyed it. the people we're nice, it looked like everyone else was having a good time. The kind of expeirence that would be good on a nice, sunny cloudless day, or cloudless night. 18 March 2012
