We booked the Convicts Castles and Champagne Cruise for Sunday
We booked the Convicts Castles and Champagne Cruise for Sunday, 22/4/18. The booking was easy to do and cheaper than direct with the supplier. The day was gorgeous. We boarded the Southern Swan Tall Ship at Walsh Bay and Keegan was our tour guide. We were immediately provided with unlimited champagne and juice and canapes whilst cruising to Goat Island. Keegan provided informative historical commentary for about 1.5 hours around Goat Island. Upon re-boarding the Southern Swan, we were provided with a delicious hot and cold buffet lunch consisting of 3 different salads, hot chicken dish, hot vegetarian dish and rice. The champagne and juice were still flowing freely. Whilst having lunch, we enjoyed a cruise along Sydney Harbour under the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and around Fort Denison, returning to Walsh Bay. The overall cruise and service was exceptional and we'd recommend it to anyone.

I took my family on this tour on the 30.9.12, and I would like to applause on how professional everyone conducted themselves
I took my family on this tour on the 30.9.12, and I would like to applause on how professional everyone conducted themselves. We cannot believe the number of drinks and food that was offered to us on this cruise. Goat Island is a must to see if anyone out there is undecided on what to do when coming to Sydney this cruise should not be missed. Gary our tour guild was so outstanding with his knowledge of the island. Another highlight was having lunch with the spectacular views of the harbour bridge and the lovely surroundings, absolutely wonderful.
Review for Convicts, Castles and Champagne Tour
I only paid $44.5 per person, and this was the only reason that made all acceptable.
I only paid $44.5 per person, and this was the only reason that made all acceptable. The ship was really small and old. The buffet was not the kind of buffet I want. There was no chance for the "2nd round" - nothing left for people coming late because there was no refill. The buffet ended up with nothing left on the table, not even bread. I so regret that I didn't take more prawns at first. The tour was fun, even if you don't understand the story, you can still find beautiful views. Overall, not too bad for the price.
