I did the bridge climb all the way to the arch. My tour guide Harley spoke clearly and was informative. He made it fun with a great sense of humor. I went solo, but you join a tour group. Excellent views! If you come to Sydney and don t do the bridge climb you re doing it wrong! I worked up an appetite and asked about the local pubs. There are many options nearby. The only suggestion I d include is the gear the provide is great, but the rails are rough on your hands and gloves would be beneficial.

This was a good experience but was very expensive in my opinion. We did the bridge climb around 4.15pm which is a good time. I would not pay extra to do the twilight climb as we went up when the sun was out; and came down as the sun sets. It was a bit cloudy so we didn't really catch twilight but I think booking for this time on a normal sunny day would be much better than paying more for twilight.

We opted for the package which includes 2 photos which I guess is a must, because you are not allowed to take any cameras. This added to the cost but we wanted to keep the pics for memories.

I'm afraid of heights but this was a piece of cake so don't let it put you off. The tour was really well organised and the staff were great. We heard a lot about the history of the bridge which was fantastic. We also were given free tickets to the museum which was amazing but a nice way to take pics with the bridge and opera House over your shoulder.

Overall I wanted more of a thrill but it was a good experience. It loses a couple of stars as I don't think the price is worth it.

For the price they charge, you'd think they could afford to give you the photos that they take because you're not allowed to bring your own phone/camera up. Pure cash grab. Other than that, pretty cool experience.

Yes, it's expensive.

Yes, it's expensive.
Now that's out of the way, this is an opportunity to share a few hours with new friends getting the most unique view of Sydney possible.
No walk is the same as the last, your guide will have different stories and experiences to share.
It doesn't matter if your family built the city, or you are here for a day - there's something in this for you.

Really enjoyable evening. Extremely well organised and professional. The whole experience inspired confidence.
Fabulous views as you go up and down - both of the surroundings and of the bridge structure.
Tom,, our guide kept us informed and entertained. A great way to spend three hours.

Great way to see Sydney! Well organised with safety paramount and we had a great guide (thanks Nick!). Pay extra if you want photo's of just you/your group as only the photo of the whole group (up to 14 people) is included in the price. It is quite pricey (our daytime climb was AU$303) but glad I finally got round to doing it!

Incredible experience highly recommended for both international and domestic visitors. Certainly some hair raising moments, like walking across walkways with steel grate floors, however this is not a high adrenalin adventure. The width of the arch means you always feel very secure once on the bridge.

All I can say is WOW, WOW WOW.
Had an amazing Bridge climb with the delightful Victoria.
Today exceeded all my expectations. From the moment of entering the reception area to the suiting up and all climb instructions everything was attention to detail.
This is a must do.

Did the twilight climb. Nice to see the lights of Sydney.
Staff are very friendly and know their stuff. A person in my group had a slight medical condition and I believe they were well looked after.

The bridge is amazing. The people fantastic and the experience amazing. They will help clients achieve their goals. Support nervous people and look after you. They even helped me get married at the top of the arch. Love them

I have done Bridge Climb four times. If that's not enough of a recommendation, nothing will convince you. The twilight climb, whilst more expensive, is definitely worth the extra cost. You won't regret it.

The climb was amazing! Best views of Sydney!
It is not cheap, but well worth the money.
The guides are very experienced and take you through a lot of history of the bridge and of Sydney City.
It is a big walk and lots of steps up and down, so you'll get your step count up!

Wow. What an experience. I had never done the climb before. I had thought it was a cliche thing to do. But boy was it stunning. Highly recommend the sunset climb. We had Maria as our guide who was wonderful and informative. The harness actually felt pretty safe and sturdy. The views were incredible. I thought I d be pretty tired but it was manageable and the view was well worth it. A highlight of sydney and recommended for tourists as well as sydney siders to remind us of our beautiful city.

Landed at 7 AM and did the climb first day in town at noon. Our guide, Bronte, was top notch! We lucked out on a Friday with a small group of 6 and were the only 2 Americans and, per usual, the Aussies on our climb (and Bronte) were so friendly. Everyone pointed out great landmarks and things to see and places to go around the harbor. Learned a lot and had a superior introduction to Sydney. Best first day. Thanks to the whole group!

The view is beautiful and our guide was really nice. You get some background information while watching Sydney. However, it is very expensive and the photos (that are taken of you, since you can't bring any photo equipment yourself) are VERY expensive. I paid 308 dollars for the climb and assumed the photos would be included, however, I had to pay another 60 dollars for the photos, so that was a bit of a disappointment after an otherwise perfect experience.

What made this experience all the more spectacular when we did it was seeing a blood moon rise. The climber who took us up/down was super friendly but other than afterwards I d have been happier paying less for a shorter experience. The whole thing I felt was over priced and is 3.5 hours long with about 1.5-2 of that on the bridge. Once you re halfway up you ve pretty much seen it all then have to spend the next 1.5 hours slowly making your way down. Worth doing, but not if you re on a tight budget.

One of the best tourist experiences in the world. This is thoroughly professional, exhilarating and absolutely unique. I was a little apprehensive about the heights, but needn't have been. You get a boiler suit, a safety briefing and then you're anchored the whole way round to a rail. I was lucky to have a small group (just three of us) and the experience started off gradually and by the time I was over the water and climbing, I was completely at ease with the heights. Terrific guide, great anecdotes, both personal and historical. Plenty of photo ops, and even in adverse weather (it was wet when i went up), this is something you'll never forget.

This was a great experience. We did the express, mainly because the weather was really hot and we just didn t want to spend too much time up on the top during the climb. It worked out really well, all of the staff are really friendly and comforting. It s very clear that they take safety seriously and also have a fun environment. The information provide during the climb was interesting and a helpful distraction during some of the more anxiety inducing sections of the climb.

Tour guide was really knowledgable and the views were amazing. Very pricey though and they didn't let us take cameras (presumably so that we buy their pictures). Also my video of the climb never arrived in my inbox or junk folder.

Stunning Views, Great History Lesson, Interesting Facts, Unique Experience! Overall it was a good experience, its a great way to really get to know more about the Harbour Bridge while seeing Sydney from a totally different perspective. The guides are fabulous and safety is top priority; during the 4 hours we felt safe and entertained the entire way. The only two big negatives preventing me from giving 5 stars are Price and Thrill Factor. Firstly its really expensive for what it is, you really need to save up to afford this if you're paying for yourself and others. Secondly, I was expecting a bit of a thrill while being up there but if you've done activities such as skydiving, hang gliding, wind surfing, etc, it will not really feel like much of a rush at all (even factoring in you're on top of a really big bridge).

Over rated, over priced.
I paid for 10 photos but guess what!! They took only 4 distinct photos and gave me copies of those same photos to make the count 10!! When protested about it at photo pickup desk, they asked to fill out feedback....that's it!!!
$347 can buy you better experiences than this...

Amazing experience! Our guide, Fergus, was great - really friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole thing really fun. The views were outstanding - I went for the night option and it was great, even got a bit of daylight at the start. Free cap, certificate and group photo included in the price and the other photos aren t massively overpriced :) All round fab experience on my first day in Sydney!

This was one of the best experiences I ve had, yes it s pricey but definitely worth it, from the booking process to the tour guide everything is meticulously organized, they explain everything in detail before the climb begins and then during the tour the guide was funny and informative, excellent at telling all sort of stories about the construction of the bridge as well as fun facts about the city. The view up there is just incomparable. Do it!

Overall positive experience but price gauging is rife, especially when it came to purchasing photos.

The staff were phenomenal and did an exceptional job.

Very hard to recommend the bridge climb as it presents little value.

If prices were lowered and included photos then the experience would easily be 5/5. As it is, it's bordering on being a ripoff.

I took the 3 hour tour and was impressed with the well organized operation. The Tour Guide, Hannah, kept up a lively banter providing lots of information about the Bridge and local landmarks. A must try if you are in Sydney.

Great experience to tick off the bucket list!

Great experience to tick off the bucket list!
Quick facts:
- no cell phones, so no personal pictures
- all pics are taken by the guide and to be purchased separately at the end
- guides are entertaining and informative
- climb is not intensive at all (stairs mostly and several ladders)
- can get VERY windy at the top
I went on the sunrise session and it was amazing to see it for the first time.
Plenty of equipment provided but everything was clearly dates to the early 2000s/ late 90s.
Overall fantastic experience but a bit expensive to consider again.

Well I was a bit concerned about the height and I'm a rigger when I'm not working on stage. It's an enjoyable adventure. I'm not fit but it's an easy task. I strongly recommend it. If the price is a concern then don't buy that packet of cigarettes or carton of beer that week. Well worth the money when you experience the bridge..

Great experience, friendly and helpful staff. I went on a night climb, which was perfect for me. Beautiful views in every direction. Guide was very knowledgeable and told many interesting stories. Guide was also very helpful to the less mobile climbers in our group, to help them have the best experience possible. Would love to go again.

The price is a bit steep, but the views are incredible. The climb is fairly easy for most stretches.
The downside is that you can't take your own photos and the photo packages they offer are fairly expensive.

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!
