Great experience for a few days out in the Blue Mountains

5.00Great experience for a few days out in the Blue Mountains! Drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and bus ran on time. Great way to experience a few spots in the Blue Mountains without driving. We used it for our hiking adventures.
Excellent tour

5.00We were short on time so decided just to do the round trip on the Hop on/ Hop off bus tour. Pre booking online was very easy. Boarded at Katoomba. If you can, sit upstairs for a better view. The driver was very personable and informative, pointing out the best views and slowing down so we could enjoy them. The history of the area is very interesting. After a smooth and pleasant journey, we disembarked at Leura.
A must do tour.....

5.00We got on at Leura, although the QR code information only told us we had to be in Katoomba. Luckily the bus showed up before we tried to get to Katoomba. The guide was amazing, but he kept telling us we only had a pass for the round trip, but the QR CODE said, hop on hop off..... so not sure what that was about. all a little confusing, but doesn't detract from a good day. Great information by driver.
Brilliant way to see Katoomba and merge with walks.

5.00Brilliant 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.
Great way to see the best parts of the nature reserve

5.00Absolutely 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.
Worth doing

5.00We 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.

5.00Excellent 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
Hopping good fun.
