We had a really great experience booking the tickets from ExperienceOZ
The view of sydney harbour was a breath taking one! I frequently visit sydney but going during the vivid festival was somthing that no one should miss. The ease of booking a ferry and enjoying drinks while you enjoy the displays and lights was just awesome.
Some of my tickets were getting cancelled due to a system glitch. However, the Experience Oz team fixed it really well and I got the tickets as per my requirement at the last moment.
I was planning to give a surprise to my sister on her birthday. However, I could not purchase all of the tickets because of a technical error. I had to contact the Experience Oz team for that. The team members were really considerate of my situation and helped him in arranging all of the tickets for my family within the limited timeframe. So, overall, beautiful experience.
An experience with lots of Vivid Lights all over the harbour.
It was an amazing experience for me to cruise on a special ferry than just a regular passenger ferry service. I rarely have these kinds of opportunities every now and then. Vivid has generally been a great time of the year for me, especially during the non-daylight saving period which is my favourite time of the year.
