Great Relaxed Day Trip

5.00Overall a great day. Our tour guide, John, was wonderful and provided great commentary and facts about the area and Australia, which made the ride in the coach more enjoyable. The staff members were all very kind, accommodating, and overall the atmosphere was very nice. There were a few moments where a few extra minutes at the lookouts/Leura may have been appreciated, but there was plenty of time to walk around and see the important things. It was a pretty relaxed day which was appreciated.

4.00It takes about three hours each way from the city if you want to go there yourself, and it was very nice to be efficiently taken by bus. We also arrived at Scenic World early to enjoy the ride without waiting. The Japanese guide was also very kind and very nice!

5.00Great way to see the blue mountains which includes Scenic world, which for us was great ( but not for people with a fear of heights). Our driver Nabill was very chatty and friendly throughout the day and very informative.
