  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. 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.

• Great trip

  While I was in Sydney, Australia, I went to the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. I rode the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and went to Scenic World. I asked the Driver of the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus what stop should I explore first and he told me to explore Scenic World before the large crowds arrive. I got off at stop 7 and rode the Scenic Skyway. Rode the Scenic Railway to explore the Scenic Walkway then road the Scenic Cableway. The Blue Mountains Explorer Bus Guide said "warm, friendly family service and delicious meals" are at Café Lurline, stop 15. So the bus dropped me off at stop 15. I enjoyed lunch at Café Lurline. One employee frombCafé Lurline showed me the route to walk to Echo Point so I could see Three Sisters up close. I then got on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and got off at Katoomba Station. I experienced two drivers on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and I learned more about Blue Mountains. Thanks Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and Scenic World for a great day.

• Good value. Bus was on...

  Good value. Bus was on time and easy to navigate. Would of liked to see the route run in opposite directions so you didn’t have to ride entire loop if you chose to do an earlier stop later In the day as many stops are within walking distance of each other.

• Disappointed and feel ripped off.

  Very disappointing and expensive for what you get. Buses only come to each stop every hour. One of the buses didn’t even come so we had to get a local bus. Honestly save money and time and just travel on local buses (that come every 15 minutes).
