• Not a guide, a driver

  The views were beautiful! However, our tour guide was more of a driver than a guide. He was 20 minutes late to the main pickup point, he gave no clear explanations of what to expect during the tour or who he was, he was inconsistent with timing (told us to be back to the bus in 40 minutes but then named a different time, for example: it was 2pm and he said "you have 40 minutes at this stop...be back at 230pm."), he provided no amenities (no wifi on the bus, and certainly no water), he could answer zero questions about our surroundings (we asked "what is that," he often responded with "I don't know," which is not a crime, but pretending to care enough to lie about looking it up later would be appreciated- additionally he called a group of Kangaroo a herd instead of a mob, which felt especially egregious), and when group members raised concerns about getting to the sunset spot on time he told us we were "thinking too much," and offered no additional info. If you decide to do this tour bring your own water! He said multiple times there were water refill stations, but we only found one actual refill station, as best we could tell he mostly meant for us to refill with tap water. Tap water there was fine, but we couldn't fit our water bottles under the sink tap and often had to get creative throughout the day to avoid dehydration, especially before and after the hike. Speaking of the hike, our group was filled to the max, literally every seat on the bus was taken (24 people I believe?), so when we were on the hike if you were more than 3 people behind him, you couldn't hear anything he was saying- including instructions. He seemed annoyed at the end of our hike, after our scheduled free time, when he couldn't find everyone in a timely manner. Obviously big groups sometimes have stragglers, but he lost track of about 6-8 people many of which "somehow" got past him and made their own way up the trail to the bus. Another group member volunteered to run up to the bus to check and get a head count while he told the rest of us to start making our own way back up to the bus and to "stay together." He stayed behind, I presume to check for stragglers, and met up with the group later muttering about leaving two group members (the stragglers) at the nearest train station. The rest of the group was waiting at a rest stop near the parking lot, given we had no idea where he left the bus (this wasn't the first time that day he dropped us off somewhere and disappeared with the bus). Maybe its only a personal opinion that tour guides should be available to group members and aware of their locations at all times especially in a national park, but maybe consider having at least 2 guides with a group this big? This guide wasn't able to provide for all of us safely. Finally it was too overcast to actually see the sunset, which was not the guide's fault- but he seemed annoyed when the group came back to the bus early, he had to put his Kindle down and pack up his lawn chair, and told us that it hadn't "set yet," despite being unable to provide an actual sunset time. At this last stop he gave further poor directions, pointing to a trail and telling us there was a waterfall at the end, but neglecting to mention it was a 20 min walk both ways at a roughly (we were never sure of the times) 40 min stop. Given that we didn't want to be the next ones threatened with abandonment we didn't want to risk any additional exploring, especially as the sunset was supposed to happen sometime soon. The actual group was full of lovely people, and it felt like we bonded over this experience- starting from when he was late to pick us all up. I feel very lucky that our group was so kind, and so willing to look out for each other. I'm almost certain someone would have been left behind otherwise. In summation: this tour is fine if you don't mind not having a guide or a schedule. The views and the hike were lovely, but I would hesitate to do this tour alone, and I would recommend bringing your own water, you own snacks, a rain jacket, and probably a watch with a timer to make sure you aren't left behind.

  I was cautious at first about booking such a long tour, but it turned out to be an experience I'll always remember. The stops offered amazing views of the Blue Mountains and surrounding vista. The driver/guide was great at providing info without constantly talking the whole time. I appreciated this, as some tour guides can be overwhelming like that. He made sure we knew about times to return to the bus and where food/water and rest stops were located. The value of this trip is amazing for the duration and what you can see. Make sure you were sunscreen and have good comfortable shoes equipped. The hikes are well worth the views. Just make sure you have plenty of battery life to take those photos. (There are USB chargers on the bus, so bring a charging cable.)

  excellent! Since the departure time was 12 o'clock, I had plenty of time to prepare. The forest trek to get a close-up view of the Blue Mountains was a bit arduous, but it was worth it.

• Enjoy the golden hour with no tourists around!

  A great day! I hesitated taking other tours that left earlier and covered more activities but I do not regret my choice! The tour takes you to multiple locations with great scenic views that you enjoy with almost no one else around because the tour is later in the day! The bushwalk is definitely a highlight, you get to enjoy caves, little river streams and waterfalls at the golden hour with only birds making any noise. The sunset is beautiful too! Some people said that the guide didn’t talk much and doesn’t go with you everywhere but it’s not completely true. He does come with you to the bush walk and gives lots of explaining. The rest of the time he just explains where things are and let you go and enjoy at your own pace, which means you don’t have to walk around like a flock and you can wander freely, grab a coffee or explore. My dad doesn’t speak English and still had a great time! I chatted a lot with the guide and he was very friendly, just engage the conversation and relax! N.B: Prepare your food if you’re picky, water bottles and clothes change in advance! It can be rainy or sweating hot.

  Spectacular! The guide and driver was unbelievable. Knowledgeable, kind, kept us informed. The blue mountains are a must see. So many spectacular vistas. Feels like the Grand Canyon of NSW.

  Our tour guide (Greg) definitely loves his job and is very enthusiastic and engaging with his stories. He did a great job of keeping everyone safe and providing clear communication throughout the whole tour as we explored all the beautiful Blue Mountains and waterfalls. The day is probably a bit too long - we clocked up almost 12km and 47 flights of stairs (that did include approx half hour walk to and from the tour meeting point). We got home exhausted but it was a perfect day even with the temperature in the high 30s!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Spectacular views and incredible hike

  If you come to Sydney you must see the blue mountains. This was an incredible tour. Greg took us to the most breathtaking lookouts and the day ended with a challenging but gorgeous hike to see waterfalls, cliffsides, and sunset. The day was epic. Along the way, Greg told us interesting stories and provided engaging history about Australia. The timing was perfect to avoid crowds. Warning: don’t bring anyone who isn’t in good shape for a major hike. There were railings and the footing was ok, but my 80 year old mom who walks 2.5 miles a day and does Pilates struggled! She was able to skip the most extreme climb area at the bottom but it was still hard. Also, we misunderstood the meal situation. At the first stop into town around 2pm you must buy both lunch and dinner to eat on the go - things like sandwiches or meat pies. There is time to eat lunch on the bus and dinner during sunset viewing (carry on the hike). We thought there would be one more stop for dinner but came back hungry after 10pm! Also, be ok with touring with a bus full of people and wildlife can be hit or miss - we didn’t see kangaroos but saw several cockatoo. Overall, if you are looking for epic views/hiking of the blue mountains this is an outstanding tour not to be missed.
