Brilliant driver/ guide really made the trip. - We were unlucky either the weather, but the driver was amazing under the circumstances, and gave us plenty of interesting facts/ stories about the area. Suggestions for stops and view points, and she also suggested routes for suitable/ sensible walks considering the conditions.

Great experience - We ordered our tickets online, as a combo with Scenic World. Word to the wise, go to the main office at Katoomba train station to activate your ticket and grab the booklet that acts as your pass, as it gives you great options for different walks and activities. The drivers provide commentary. We hopped on and off a couple of times so experienced 3 different drivers. Each had their own extra snippets of info about each location on the circuit, which was fabulous. Welcoming, courteous, helpful, with a clean air conditioned double decker ( we needed it in the heat) and every half hour at each stop. Just excellent value for money.

Unexpectedly rewarding tour - Blue Mountain’s hop on hop off bus I took this explorer bus and got exceptionally rewarding experiences. All of the information regarding the routes, bus time, place of interests around each stop are so detailed and clearly provided. I was fortunate to meet driver guides Ms. Ella and Mr. Tom John, both are so knowledgeable about all the places passing by, and they were so kind and passionate to give relevant information and advice. I enjoy and recommend such hop on hop off service. Ronald from Taiwan

A Great Way to See the Sights & Get Some History Too - On our last day in Sydney, we decided to see the Blue Mountains. To make sure we saw as much as possible, we chose the Hop On Hop Off Bus with the Scenic World Pass. We caught the bus in town and hit Scenic World first. Scenic is an understatement. We rode all 3 rides a couple of times each so we could get as many different views for our photos and videos. There are many different walking trails available ranging from easy to a bit longer and more challenging. The weather was perfect, so we hit most of them. The guide, given on the bus, lists them all with excellent descriptions. Now, a big shout out to our bus driver. Not only was his commentary interesting, but his humor elevated the whole experience. I later discovered that I had lost one of my credit cards. Aimee at Fantastic Aussie Tours reached out to me that afternoon to let me know the bus driver had found it. What a relief.

Good way to explore - Useful way to get to some of the main spots in and around Katoomba. Appreciated that that the drivers (in particular Ella) adjusted their commentary / recommendations to accommodate the wet weather.
