Your tour starts with hotel pickup (depending on your accomodation location) before you head off towards the Blue Mountains.

Firstly a Comfort Stop in the lower Blue Mountains. Opportunity to purchase refreshments.

Visit Kings Tableland or Evans Lookout, the best place to view the wilderness of the Blue Mountains. Take a pleasant bushwalk to Wentworth Falls, one of the most spectacular lookout points in the Blue Mountains.

Stop by Leura where you can spend free time exploring this picturesque village with great shops, excellent choices for lunch to cater to everyone. Leura is very popular with the Sydney locals.

Next up is Katoomba. Katoomba is the center of the Blue Mountains and the gateway to its two most popular tourist attractions: The Three Sisters rock formations and Scenic World. It offers lovely heritage cottages, a well established hotel industry and a wide range of cafes and restaurants.

• Walkway – the longest elevated boardwalk in Australia, with 2.4 km inside a temperate rainforest.(This is at an additional cost)

Aboriginal Site, learn about aboriginal rock engravings and the Dharug, thought to have arrived in the Blue Mountains over 22,000 years ago.

great sightseeing in a great environment with our guide les - it was great to have a small group of people and visit places away from the general rabble

The morning pick-up route and admin was a little involved, but amply compensated for a jolly and knowledgeable guide (Hayden) and the spectacular sights along the trails. Also good is how guests are given the option for pay the entry fee for Scenic World -- where we were very lucky to spot a lyre bird in action thanks to Hayden's keen eye and persistence! The rides there are also fun but that wouldn't be the primary reason I pay for entry. :)

Good way to see the Blue Mountains and there surrounds in a day - enjoyable and kind of relaxing - not having to rush around so much

I love how the driver was very knowledgeable and had very good sense of humor and I'm pretty sure everyone on this trip agreed with me on this. The trip was fun. The driver stopped the car and allowed us to spot kangaroos by roadside. Thank you very much! :)

Our tour leader, Les, made the day so enjoyable, provided us with history and fun facts about Australia and his enthusiasm and knowledge of the plants and animals of the mountains made it a memorable experience. I'm so glad I choose this tour for the one day I had in Sydney. Any nature lover must do this!

We had a fantastic day exploring the Blue Mountains area with Simon as our guide. Simon was very knowledgeable and patient given that we visited during the Easter holiday period and it was very busy. All in all, a great day with breath-taking views!

We enjoyed our Blue Mountain Trip. The scenery was great. We took the option to hike down to the Katoomba Falls, we would have liked more time for this. we were looking at the time as we had to be back at the bus for our return journey to The Parramatta river. The river cruise back to Sydney harbour was great. We stopped for a nice lunch break in Leura. In fairness to our driver we were delayed in Sydney looking for two women who had boarded the wrong tour bus. We had to spend over an hour looking for them. They were lucky to have a kind driver who took the time to find them. I think because of our late departure we didn't stop at Wentworth falls. Kudos to our driver, some drivers would have put the two women down as a no show. Kevin and Jenny

Our guide was Adam, a very knowledgeable person about local environments and plant life. Some of us compared him to Bush Tucker man who can survive on indigenous plants and berries. He explained along the way every tree, plant and ants etc that keeps the environments healthy and depend upon each other to keep the forest alive. He shared his Aussie humour and never hesitated to answer any question, irrelevant it may seem, with an explanation and humour. He called us Adams Family and kept us amused all along the way. From forest adventure to the Parramatta river cruise to the cable car ride, he accompanied us all the way along, explaining the formation of the valley and the mountains around area. We then went on the steepest cable ride Extra cost not included in the itinerary, and its something to be experienced. If you ever go on this tour, make sure you ask for Adam and you will enjoy his humor and charm. Highly recommend the tour.
