5.00Great tour! Nabil was an excellent guide, he gave us great info during the drive and great suggestions to maximize our stops. The half day tour was a perfect length to see the beautiful scenery during our short Sydney trip.
Great Tour to the Blue Mountains and Scenic World

5.00We did a Brighton Coach Tour to the Blue Mountains and it was a great experience. Just a few things: 1. Our tour guide Tom was EXCELLENT. Very friendly, had some good jokes in there, and was informative. Shared a lot about the areas we travelled and some personal anecdotes as well. 2. The bus was nice. Clean and comfortable. 3. Had a good amount of time at the places we stopped. 20 minutes at the 3 Sisters lookout and 2 hours at Scenic World and 1 hour at a little town for lunch. 4. He recommended multiple food establishments for those interested. It made lunch easier for us instead of us wasting time trying to figure it out. 5. He was also really good about reminding people when they needed to be back at the bus. This way no one was late to ruin it for everyone else.
We had a excellent day. Nabil was amazing . Lots of information . We would highly recommend this tour . Lots of time at scenic w

4.00The half day trip was just right for me. I also managed to get to do everything I planned too. Bus driver / guide Max was excellent. Great facts delivered and made sure headcount was right before leaving a place. Just a shame about the morning weather on that day...and missed out on Blue Mist.
Stunning views, well planned day out

5.00We had a fantastic time on this half day tour. Our guide Nabil, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. The lookout spots were absolutely stunning with breathtaking views. Scenic World was also a lot of fun and definitely the highlight of the day. We only wish we had more time to explore even more! Everything was well organised. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Nabil made our day

5.00Nabil was an absolute delight in making a cloudy day in the blue mountains worthwhile. We had a great time!
Great value for a “half day” Blue Mountains tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

5.00Nabil was a great guide and driver. He took into account timing, uncertain weather and gave clear guidelines as well as provided amusing anecdotes and great foodie recommendations. He also gave out waters and snacks and ensured plenty of restroom breaks. We could have used more time in Leura — it’s really a very charming town — as it would have been nice to have a meal and a chance to really walk around. However, all in all a great way to see “must dos” of the Blue Mountains in a truncated time frame.
It was so much fun.

5.00Jo, the cheerful driver. And thank you, Mr. Shiori, our Japanese guide. If you are unsure of your English, you can still enjoy it. I recommend it.
