  Brilliant way to see Katoomba and excellent value for money. Included scenic world pass which was great and also allowed multiple day use if needed. I did some walks and used this for in between if I went off track! Bus drivers were great for making suggestions of which areas to skip or get off at.

  Absolutely excellent. All wonderful drivers, friendly, polite, kind and all exeptionally knoweldgeable. So refreshing not to be given a handset with pre-recorded information. Each had in addition to the information their own individual stories which made the whole experience very enjoyable.

  We took the train up from Sydney and were a little late so the lady in the explorer bus office was super helpful in moving our scenic world tickets around and telling how best to spend the time we had remaining. We did some of the hikes which were stunningly beautiful. The next day we did scenic world which was well worth doing for the rides and the walks through the bottom of the canyons. All in a great couple of days.

• Hop on bus Blue Mountains recommended

  Excellent excursion through the blue mountains, good travel guide about the stops and walks at pick-up at booking office, very friendly drivers who give extra info and stop to take pictures. Once an hour was what little, and last bus already at 5 pm, we would have liked to have had even longer. Unforgettable walks. The scenic world rides exciting, very short and very touristy. We love to come back again for more walks. Places okay but not special, there is food for sale and some shops

  Absolutely brilliant way to get to all the best places in and around Katoomba. Local knowledge from the drivers very helpful too. Just make sure you get your timings right and it won't let you down.

• The concept is good, but the execution is a waste of time

  The concept is good, but the execution is a waste of time. Because the bus only runs once an hour in a single direction, missing it by five minutes means a 55-minute wait. While some stops don't have enough to do for a full hour, others—like Scenic World—have long queues that make it impossible to guarantee you’ll catch the next bus. You are much better off using the local public buses, which run more frequently and in both directions.

• Scenic Wonderland!

  Wonderful day in the beautiful Blue Mountains. We did the Explorer Hop On Hop Off Bus including Scenic World. The rides and scenery were spectacular. Great commentary from the Bus Drivers. Friendly staff. The desk staff at the office in town, after we got off the train from Sydney, were so welcoming and helpful.

• Great service

  This is a great way to get to see the sighrs. We stayed jn Katoomba but real easy to find the bus stops. Feel its a bit misleading hop on hop off as when you get off its an hour to the next bus so any stops with not much there isnt worth it. We did the honeymoon lookout walk to echo point was a nice easy walk. The drivers are friendly, helpful and jnformative. The back seat could do with a bell button for stopping and due to engine noise can be difficult to hear the announcements but overall well worth the money.
