A must if you in Sydney. The evening climb was fantastic and our guide Ed was great, too.
Only negative I found was that it felt a bit rushed and that only a group photo included in the price. For the money they charge they should include at least 2 individual pics too.

If you visit Sydney you must do this. Well supervised and very safe. The walk up the ridge beams is not too taxing and the view will be remembered for a long time. You can't take your own camera but photos are taken for you along with a video these are presented to you on a data stick. At the end you keep the Bridge Walk cap.

Booked a climb for our anniversary. Being Melbourne based we had to unfortunately cancel due to the border closure with Covid cases within Sydney which is beyond our control, however The Bridge Climb is insisting it costs them $50 for admin fees to cancel the trip. This is ridiculous and is profiteering, very disappointing in these uncertain times. Was most definitely going to go back once allowed and could get time off work, however the way they have handled this is disgusting and a very bad look for the business. I would never recommend using this company based upon how they have handled this situation.

It was an awesome climb. But it is a little expensive. So, if you are on a tighter budget, then you can give it a miss. You can walk past the bridge to experience it. But the bridge climb experience is a different kind of experience. Choose the timing carefully. Twilight timing are the most expensive ones and most sought after. So in order to safe 80$, I chose the last day climb. You can have the twilight experience when you are descending down. The view will be breathtaking. If you are a fan of night view, choose the night climb but you won't be able to see the sunset which to me was the greatest attraction. They take proper precautions and no need to worry of the height or any safety issues. Still if you feeling a little nervous, have a chat with your guide. The guides are awesome. Only wish would be that the prices become cheaper.

Yes, it s expensive. But it s a pretty unique experience. It is quite the operation and they definitely take your safety (and those of the drivers below) very seriously. Our tour guide was great, and you learn a lot about the bridge and Sydney over the course of your 3 hour trek. Definitely not too strenuous as most of the climb is not too steep, moderate pace and there are frequent stops.

It is a must activity you should have not missed at all. It worth to pay for once in a lifetime experience. We booked the day climb at 1.30 PM. The weather was very nice. Luckily, our climb group had only 6 people. Nic, our super friendly climb leader made our climb so fantastic from geared up until finished. She shared a lot of stories about the bridge and surrounding along the way to the top of the bridge. The proper climbing gears and the strict safety practice made us feel confident on our own safety during the climb. The spectacular view up there and the exciting climbing experience really worth every dollar you had paid for the climb. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience with my family. Very safe and well managed but still great fun. Photos are a bit expensive if you want more than the free one of your randomly assigned group. Overall a must in Sydney.

I received a gift voucher for Christmas one year to do a BridgeClimb. I decided to do a twilight climb and I had an incredible time. The whole experience took just under 3 hours. There was nothing scary about the climb as the safety briefing was very informative and every care was taken to make sure nothing was left to chance.

The view as we climbed the many stairs was breathtaking and the pace at which we climbed was easy and not physically demanding at all. It gave the group I was in time to take in everything around us. The guide was very knowledgeable and the experience was magical. A must do adventure in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Great experience, the female guide was very good and paid great attention to our group, taking the time to ask our names (and amazingly remembering them.)
I think the price is a bit high but when you take into account that our safety is in their hands, we are using their climbing gear and the tour guides must be paid well to maintain the best staff, I think it is worth it for a once in a lifetime experience on one of Australia's most iconic landmarks. On completion after getting changed and ready to walk out a (male) guide said in a very demanding tone that we need to fill out a feedback form. This guides attitude is why you lose the 5 Star rating.

Choose Dawn climb. So beautiful the view from the top. The climb difficulty is 1/5 to me. It's like walking on the bridge. I didn't afraid of height when walking up there probably the magnificent view distract me. The bridge climb guide is funny and instructions are very clear. I felt really safe to climb the bridge. Received a certificate after the climb. Really worth the experience even though the dawn climb was expensive.

The climb, bridge and guide were all great and awesome. The average review is for the price, at over $600 for 2 people and then gouge you $60 for photos at the end (can't take your phone), just sucks. Imagine this price point would not be accessible for families.

Awesome climb experience!

Awesome climb experience!
John, our climb guide was outstanding.
He made sure everyone in our group was not rushed, gave plenty of information about the Bridge, Sydney Harbour and various points of interest.
It hot and humid though, but had several opportunities for water breaks.
It was well worth the sweat! I will do the climb again, soon! Maybe I'll be lucky enough to have John lead us again!!

Done the evening climb & I must say it was absolutely fantastic our tour guide was called Edward & he was such a great guy told us everything we needed to know and kept us laughing the whole way around i highly recommend doing this climb a little bit expensive & wish you received all of the photos at the end. They cost a lot more money & when you add it on to the climb as well it works out a lot

This is an attraction that Sydney locals should do at least once... while it is a favorite for tourists there is so much to like about this for Sydneysiders. Whether if it's the history, the view or the architecture... you will be blown away.

Although this is a very expensive activity it is a Sydney must. The walk up isn't that difficult so anyone of any age could climb the bridge. The view from the top is spectacular, so worth the money. The staff who looked after our group were great and friendly. The complementary picture of the group that they give you is a nice gesture. You also get a free token to go up one of the pillars on the bridge. Just remember you can't take your phone, camera or selfie stick up the bridge for safety reasons. Have a great climb!

Great fun and an excellent experience. The night climb is amazing. Guides are very nice and helpful. This can take quite a while, so plan around four hours to get there on time, set up and do the climb. Probably not much parking, so best to get a ride in. Don't bring much more than yourself, the team provides almost everything.

I absolutely hate heights and they make me super uncomfortable. This experience was not only worth it, but extremely comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. The view alone is worth it.

Excellent experience! Graham was top notch, funny and knowledgeable. Even in rain storms and 20km/hr winds, it was a fantastic experience. All the gear included for maximum comfort.
We had a voucher so got a discount, it is a little too pricey for me to recommend at full price. The express climb would probably be just as good! Or if you head to the tower museum, that provides a view that is a close second.

Surely you don't need to read a review of BridgeClimb to know you have to do it! When people think Sydney, they think BridgeClimb. For good reason. Just do it. Let the good folks there amaze you.

Absolute must-do. We did it during the evening so we got to see the skyline with a sunset. Our leader was helpful and funny to keep things light hearted. From start to finish including training it takes about 3 hours, you stop a number of times to take it all in.

The climb was a great experience with wonderful views of the city. We went on the 6:55pm climb which was great because we got the day and evening views. Because we were asked to fill out our paper reivew prior to going to the photobooth, I'm leaving my review of our experience at the photobooth experience here.

When we booked the climb we used a promo code for one free framed picture each as we read and learned from locals that you aren't allowed to bring your camera on the climb.

After the climb, the photo booth staff said that our tickets didn't have the free photo included. Although I tried to pull up a confirmation on my phone, I wasn't able to due to the slow service caused by being in another country and thier public wifi not working well. We were made to feel like we were lying from the team leader Jo (Joanne) and were asked to step asside so that they could help the next customer. This really made an excellent experence end horibbly.

Absolutely Amazing! I would do it again and again. I arrived early just to make sure i had the right place and i was offered an earlier climb to save waiting around! All the staff were really friendly, Stacey, who helped kit us up for the climb and met us when we came back down, was great. Our climb leader Harley was fantastic, his stories were great and he was very calming. Its the best thing I've done. Loved it!! Thanks guys! also when my video didnt come through to my email i went on the chat on the website and they found it and resent it to me that day, amazing!

The other day id been on the pinga prowel again for like the tenth day this week so I needed something to do other than steal cars and bash me wife so I decided to climb the bridge. after getting to the top some bloke tried to arrest me cause parently u need a harness, whatever that is, but instead I did a silly salmon of the bridge.

The price is high but when you go in and realize how much safety gear, upkeep in the bridge lines, and training are required it starts to make sense. They also have to pay rent to the city to use the bridge on a lease. The view is great and I would say maybe a 3/10 on physical exertion. There are some ladders and a lot of steps but they take frequent long breaks for photos etc. Don't be afraid of the climb due to hardness. Also they breath test you for alcohol prior to the climb for under point 05 or the legal limit. Definitely reccomended.

Climbed Sunday sunset. Great very enthusiastic crew, lots of education before you start out, good sense of humor. Not a lot of climbing involved (more just walking steps, ladders), good views of internal structures and harbour along the way. Glad I did it and would recommend people do it once for the adventure but wouldn t do it repeatedly. Three photo opportunities along the route so you know they want to sell you a package when done and wAy too much standing around for me. Wish they found offered a climb to the top with out photo opps /waiting for others to create their free video, etc. just came for the climb so was bummed it was so interrupted. Excellent facility and people however, just found it too passive for me. Really more of a walk than climb but still fun.

You may question the budget but it is worth it. Way better that any other touristic 'experience' in Sydney and great memory for lifetime. If you can't do the twilight tour do the last before that is very similar just cheaper... ;)

The overall experience was extremely fun and it was like no other experience. The preparation was very quick and smooth, moving through the preparation rooms with ease due to the organisation of the climb people. The climb seemed very safe and we were taken care of very well by the staff. Our climbing instructor was cheerful and nice. I would definitely recommend this activity to a friend.

You have to pay A$303 for claiming the bridge! It really worth the price! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly! Tips: Too bad, you can't bring anything to the bridge. Even the google glass or Snapchat glass! Also any kind of watches!

Great experience for any age, don't have to worry about loosing your breath during the climb. At the peak it's a great view. Just wish could bring with my own camera, cell, or something to take my own pictures/videos.

Expensive but well worth it. The dusk climb is amazing. The prep for the climb is in Military precession. The tour guide reminded me of a drill Sargent. Take five steps forward turn right and hands on the wall seemed we were going on a para jump. One had to wear a harness over a boiler suit but one with a difference. The zipper was at the back. Attached to various hooks were fleece jackets rain capes caps etc. even a scarf to cater for the occasional sneeze. The ascent was gradual interspersed with a few vertical ladders. Safety was paramount. You are tethered to the rigging and can not fall or jump off the bridge. The view is breathtaking and the Opera House looks marvellous from that height. The far off Manley beaches and probably Bondai can be seen at a fair distance. It s certainly a one time do.

The most incredible experience!! The guides are so accommodating and so knowledgeable. If you are scared you will soon forget it as you become immersed in the facinating history of the bridge and of Sydney itself! Stunning views all the way up to the summit. Take a moment when you get there to really appreciate where you are! If you only do one thing in Sydney, let this be it! You won't regret it!

Cannot recommend this experience any more! I have visited Sydney numerous times due to family living there but had never thought to do the touristy bits. I was pleasantly surprised, the walk lasts about 2 hours and you get good photos and videos taken for you, which are available for purchase at the end. The views are spectacular and the talks that you are given on the walk are very informative and interesting.

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!
