5.00We had a great tour to the Blue Mountains. Quick overview of the area. Wish we had time for more! Happy to have an option that didn't include a zoo stop since we already spent a day at the zoo. The tour was good pacing for our two kids, 4 and 7. I think the 7 year old would have liked more adventure but he loved the train ride at scenic world. Alfie, our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. He had a lot of history to share with us which was great context for the tour. Definitely recommend the tour if you just have a day to explore the mountains and no car to get up here yourself.
Great experience

5.00What a great way to see the highlights of the Blue Mountains (The Three Sisters and Scenic World) without all the hassle of hiring a car/dealing with traffic/finding parking. We were picked up from our hotel door and treated to a wonderfully comfortable ride by our driver, Bruno and our tour guide Mayuko was very informative and helpful. Both were friendly and personable making the day a highlight of our stay in Sydney. Highly recommended!
Our guide. Mia, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and informative. The bus driver, Bruno, was hilarious! It was fantastic
