Ticked off our bucket list.. Staff were excellent and our guide was very informative and friendly. I think the pricing could be improved and would certainly increase the popularity for this activity.

Great staff, definitely worth the money and the experience. They take videos and photos for you. Beautiful scenery. I would highly recommend. I did the sunset climb in January at 6:45 p.m., perfect timing. I felt completely safe the entire time, you get a history lesson as well. Great pace - it was not rushed at all. I don't like heights, and it was completely fine - the bridge itself is wide enough on the part that you climb, that you don't even look down directly. They have small groups - I want to say no more than 10 people --- so you don't loose your experience. The whole climb including gearing up, training, and gearing down was about 3 hours.

What a fantastic experience! Such a beautiful day to enjoy the scenic views. It wasn't as taxing on the legs as I expected so don't fear it. Well done to everyone involved for creating such a brilliant memory.

I suffer from Acrophobia really badly, the bridgeclimb is designed to tackle that effortlessly, i thoroughly enjoyed my experience, it's one of those do once moments and honestly one of the coolest ways to see Sydney. Little scummy how they charge through the nose for photos but that's business. They give you a nice range of options if you prefer a lengthy or short climb as well as the options to go during sunrise or sunset. The guides also provide a very insightful history of the bridge and inner sydney including Pinchgut island and sydney cove.

Definitely one of the top experiences in Sydney to do! I completed it 10 years ago with my Mum and Sister. It isn't a hard climb, plenty of small steps and railing to support the young and old. If your visiting from interstate or overseas it is well worth it, you will learn a great amount about the history of Sydney, the harbour, will get a stunning view and unique perspective of the city. It will make you fall in love with this magical City!

Great experience despite the steep price! If you can afford it, definitely do this. I recommend selecting the night climb options (evening hours) so you could see the city light up before your eyes. Not to mention, the photos are most beautiful at that time. Cheers!

THANK YOU AMY!!! Honestly, what an asset to your team- she was amazing, entertaining, funny, learnt everyone's names within the first 5 minutes and was so professional and mature i could not believe she is only 19. She handled it like a pro, even with two 8 year old kids in the group. My husband and I climbed the twilight session on the 21st birthday and we had an absolute ball. She took great photos too! It was absolutely packed that day, but despite what seemed like chaos, it all ran so smoothly. Jana was lovely too with all the prep. Photos are pricey, but you might as well get the USB, as we got 14 pics plus 1 video between the 2 of us.

Fantastic experience! This is certainly a must do when visiting Sydney. The tour was very well organized with friendly and knowledgeable guides. The climb itself is easy (there is only one section with 4 sets of stairs, and the rest feels like walking up a hill that s not steep). The views are absolutely stunning!

My friends and family had a wonderful time climbing the bridge and learning the history behind. Our guide had a great sense of humor and took some great pictures of us over Sydney. Everyone was very knowledgeable and always in a great mood. We were able to see the pictures taken on our adventure but in no way were we pressured in buying anything. I did however buy the USB of pictures and am also extremely glad I did.

Such a great experience to climb the bridge while the harbour and city are alive with light. The whole experience is well organised, from the safety briefings and layering up in all the gear through to the climb itself. Angus was our guide and he was informative with fascinating stories and fun facts. We weren't rushed during the climb and there was plenty of time to take in the views along the way. The highlight at the top was dancing on the lit up dance floor !! Other than a few ladders on the way in and out, the main climb was very easy and secure.

We did the experience with an offer and we took the long one. Everything is very methodic and very organized. It takes around 40 min to be ready to climb (suits, filling forms, headphones, practice the ladders/steps). We stop from time to More

Went during Vivid Sydney and the view was beautiful. So happy with the fun and friendly guide who took us up the bridge. The climb was pretty easy with just a few steep ladders. And it's super cold and windy in winter, so wrap up warm!

This is a must when you are in Sydney! I don't know any other places where you can climb a bridge. This was such a unique experience, but you have to pay about $268 - $403 per adult for summit ticket. There are express option and sampler. Check out the website for descriptions. We got lucky since we did the climb right after the bush fire got really bad that it covered the Sydney harbor. We were thankful for the experience and the tour is informative. Our tour lead, Ken was great and funny. Also a great photographer! We bought the pictures and videos.

We were taken to the summit by Victoria and gave us a splendid informative tour. We did the 10.45 tour and the weather gods was kind to us which was meant to be a misty gloomy day suddenly was like a summer day. I would recommend doing this not intensive at all even kids as old as 8-10 did with us .

Our fourteen year old Granddaughter had doubts. Tour guide Sherry was so good working with her that she completed the entire climb and was very proud of the experience and her courage. She even took her event hat to bed with her tonight. 5/5 Stars for the Bridge Climb experience. 10/5 Stars for Leader Sherry.

I had wanted to do this since watching the Sydney summer games. Finally got my chance while in town for work, and even as someone who climbs things for a living had a fantastic time. Guides were good, view was epic, and I would absolutely do it again at night.

The climb and views are ok. You can t bring your phone or anything in your pockets that would be fun to throw into the Harbour. You have to stop every 15 meters, literally, to pose for dumb photos that they try to sell back to you at the end. They tell you the bridge-building stories that are mostly boring rubbish. Did I mention it costs about $320 per person? What? Did I mention that it should be one brisk, beautiful hour of scaling ladders on the bridge but they stretch in into 3 and a half brutally long hours? Did I mention that that Australians are like British people but usually more fit, nicer and more enthusiastic. That part I like. Did I add that we did it on Christmas Day so all the pubs were closed when we were done? Did I say that the bridge arch or span or whatever you call it is not that high and only 120 meters, or 440 feet high? The Golden Gate Bridge is like almost 800 feet high! So doh! Peace out!

Once in a lifetime experience. The tour is very well orchestrated. Very meticulous arrangements and very disciplined execution. Staff is very friendly, courteous and helpful. The spectacle up there is breathtaking. A must-do! I only wish they had allowed our cameras.

So, totally scared of heights here...but this was fun and unforgettable experience. If you re scared of heights, they will tell you it gets easier as you get higher...sucks but it s true so just get through the first part. The staff was fun and full of energy, made you feel very comfortable. This was truly an unforgettable experience, but a little steep on price for the climb and cost for pictures. Even though the price is high, I recommend and still believe it s a must do just for the experience alone. 3 hour tour. You are not allowed to take anything up, no cameras and no go pros, so they can charge what they want for pictures they take of you. Just make sure to plan for that. It was a great experience and well worth it.

Did the bridge sampler when I was in Sydney. I wish I did the full bridge climb as we were at the bottom of the arch so the view was quite different as we were looking at the structural side of the bridge, rather than scenic views. It was still a good experience and you meet different people during your climb. Our guide was very friendly aswell and gave us very interesting information about Sydney and the bridge during our climb

So the actual tour and guide were fantastic, the experience on the bridge is great and we enjoy so much the time.
But, the price is just way to high to justify. $350 for full, I can actually hire plane to fly over sydney in for less, and this is for walk over bridge only. cost is just too high.
Also, everything else not bridge, felt not so great. The safety brief was watching a video in a lit cinema, so we could barely see the screen or hear the audio. The staff seemed to acknowledge at the end that the video was boring and not very good, so why have it.
My suit had been patched with a zip tie and was starting to split, and my partners had a large rip in it.
The girl who served us at photo, seemed uninterested, bordering on rude, she even seemed to argue with the couple in front of us.
The photo themselves were an additional $60 which is outrageous considering how much already paid. And there were only the picture of us, would be nice to have some pictures of the bridge and view, guide seemed to take view photos, but we only get personal pictures, no extra.
The certificate of climbing, I see later has my name misspelt.
Each thing on own would be little annoying, but all together was alot, and when pay so much, I hope for premium experience. No premium experience has zip ties holding suit together. This felt like a premium experience on bridge, but being run by a bargain experience in back

Amazing views. The staff are excellent and you feel safe at all times. Our leader Conner was a great laugh and helped me along because I was absolutely terrified. I'd reccomend it. Just another thing I've completed, easy.

This is not a value for money experience - it is expensive. But it is a great experience and one I would recommend. Very well run but a little bit sausage factory. The sound levels in the holding areas with various groups prior to and after the climb are very high and it certainly detracts from the experience. Paying extra for digital copies of the photos is a bit grating when you have already paid a fortune for the climb - it should be included. You cannot take your own photos for risks of dropping your devices or cameras on unsuspecting cars or pedestrians so you have no choice but to purchase theirs. They do provide one free printed photo but it is the big group shot - not individual group therefore full of people you don't know. The first part of the climb is mildly tricky but once on the bridge proper it is a breeze. The audio connection with your guide is great through the headset they provide and the guides themselves are very informative and helpful.

Wow! Not great with heights but well worth the experience. Views stunning. I went late afternoon and got to the top of the bridge at sun set. Beautiful scenery and history of the city given by the tour guide.

They give you a full brief. Wear protective clothing and harnesses so you feel completely safe. I also went for the photo package. I now have some great memories to take home with me.

This is my second Climb as a team building activities. Great experience of doing and experiencing something together with work colleagues. Late spring weather is perfect. It took us roughly three hours including the gear on, briefing and gear off time. This is a must do for visitors to Sydney to see the beautiful harbour and a bit of history of Sydney landmark, the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

So well organised, great staff. Very personable, knowledgeable climb leader. Thoroughly recommend this amazing experience. Only suggestion would be that more signage is needed to make the Bridge Climb building easier to find.

Our guide (Chris with the amazing beard) was very lively, funny and knowledgeable. The activity wasn't that strenuous and I wouldn't really worry about sweating too much as the winds are pretty cool even on a hot day. Be sure to put on the provided sunscreen unless you want to look like a lobster! The view at the top of the bride is absolutely breathtaking, definitely a must-do in Sydney!

Scaling the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is something that most Sydneysiders put on "The Gonna List". Friends from overseas cane to visit this week. So I got this off the list and into action. I am so glad. This was an AWESOME experience. A "re"-experiencing of an edifice over, on and under which I have had life-long experience. Thanks to Scotland's Ormond family for getting me up on a serious "High!"

Okay, so this is an epic, once in a lifetime experience. If you get lucky with the weather, you are going to enjoy some of the best views in Sydney, bar none. Unfortunately, the price is epic too, so you ll have to make sure your wallet is up to the challenge too. Expect great guides, and over the top safety. Enjoy!

A fantastic once in a lifetime experience. It is pretty expensive but well worth every penny.
The Bridge climb is really well organised and they make safety their priority and although the climb was very steep in some parts, I never felt unsafe.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about her job which made the information shared far more interesting and she also took lots of cool photos which we purchased after the climb.
Make sure you wear suitable footwear for the climb as it lasts for 3.5hrs.
Views are just breathtaking.

The staff is extremely nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The climb itself is nice and you get a lovely view of the river and the CBD. It's surely a not-to-miss experience. That being sad, I don't think it's worth the money I spent; they should definitely apply discounts - for young travellers, at least. Also, we did more pic-taking than climbing (pics that are obviously very expensive).

Enjoyed the views from the top of the world but found the safety preparation and pre checks took longer than the entire climb and decent. You can't take your own pictures as no lose items are allowed but they will take pictures for you at a cost on top of the initial climb fee. Although it was a great experience I found it a little expensive for what it is, but I suppose business is business.

Overpriced to walk on a bridge and it s wrong that they would charge so much, especially for families, as many wouldn t be able to afford it. It s immoral and I don t think worth the money. It was a nice view and our guide, Abby (sorry if I spelt it wrong) was amazing! If you want to give it a try, feel free, but I wish they would make it more affordable.

Very well run session by our guide Aaron, entertaining throughout the climb and cheering up the group, coping well with barrage of questions from 8y.o. and remembering everyone by name!

Well done, BridgeClimb team for making such a memorable experience!

Highly recommend.

A must go attraction if you happen to visit Sydney...

A must go attraction if you happen to visit Sydney. Although the whole activity lasts around 3 hours, you might only spend about 1.5 hours actually climbing it. Preparing for the climb is very interesting because it entertains and makes you feel safe. Complementary hair ties and hats are also provided before climbing. The actual climb is the best part but climbing it at twilight is suggested, as you can see Sydney both in the day and night. The guides that take you up the bridge are also very interesting because they tell you the history behind the bridge. The guide will also take a few photos along the way. You will walk roughly over 3.5km throughout the whole thing. When you finish, you get a free group picture but if you want to buy pictures with only you and your companions it in, it comes at an extra price. Overall, the bridge climb is a must do when you come visit Sydney. The views of the Opera House, Sydney, the skyline and the blue mountains from the summit of the bridge are unparalleled.

About BridgeClimb

BridgeClimb: The Ultimate Sydney Experience

If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Sydney, look no further than BridgeClimb. As the name suggests, this company offers the opportunity to climb one of the world's most iconic landmarks - the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

But this isn't just any old climb. With BridgeClimb, you'll be guided by experienced professionals who will take you all the way to the top of the bridge's arches - a height of 134 metres above sea level. From there, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour and beyond.

So why should you choose BridgeClimb over other tourist activities in Sydney? For starters, it's an experience that simply can't be replicated anywhere else in the world. The Harbour Bridge is an engineering marvel that has become synonymous with Australia's largest city - and climbing it is a rite of passage for anyone visiting or living in Sydney.

But more than that, BridgeClimb offers an unparalleled sense of adventure and accomplishment. Climbing to the top of such a massive structure requires physical exertion and mental fortitude - but once you reach your destination, there's nothing quite like it.

Of course, safety is always paramount when undertaking such an activity - and with BridgeClimb, you can rest assured that every precaution has been taken to ensure your wellbeing. All climbers are fitted with special suits designed for comfort and safety; they're also attached to a secure line throughout their ascent.

So what does a typical climb with BridgeClimb entail? It all starts with a briefing session at base camp where climbers are given their suits (and hats!) before being led through some basic training exercises on how to use their equipment safely. Once everyone is ready to go, it's time for the real adventure to begin!

The climb itself takes around 3-4 hours from start to finish; during this time climbers will ascend ladders and stairs as well as traverse catwalks before finally reaching their destination at the summit. Along the way there are plenty of opportunities for photos (including one taken by your guide at the very top) as well as chances to learn about some fascinating history behind both bridge itself and its surrounding area.

One thing that sets BridgeClimb apart from other tourist activities in Sydney is its accessibility: almost anyone can participate! There are different routes available depending on fitness levels (including options for those who may have mobility issues) so everyone can enjoy this incredible experience regardless of age or ability.

And if climbing during daylight hours isn't enough excitement for you? Then why not try one of their night climbs instead! These special tours offer climbers stunning views over illuminated cityscape below while also providing unique insights into how bridge operates after dark.

In conclusion: if you're looking for something truly special during your visit or stay in Sydney then look no further than BridgeClimb! This once-in-a-lifetime experience offers adventure combined with stunning views making it perfect choice whether travelling solo or part group tour package deal holiday itinerary planning purposes alike!
