5.00I participated with my family! It was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Australia. Of course the view was good, but most importantly the kindness of the female guides was too good. He laughed a lot and talked a lot, so I felt as comfortable as if I were a member of the group that came with him. I walked every day since I came to Australia, so the bus ride was also a break. It was such a wonderful experience! Thank you very much.

4.00Tom Tom our driver & guide was really interesting sharing relevant information about the areas we passed through. He kept everyone to time and the day passed smoothly. We saw the Three Sisters from many different viewpoints. We rode on all three experiences at Scenic World. None of them were meant to be scary, but the railway was a white knuckle ride for me! It’s very steep - you have been warned. We walked through the forest on the various walkways which was peaceful. Leura village had some interesting shops and a lovely ice cream parlour with chocolate shop attached. A really pleasant day.
Great trip, well worth going.
