Beautiful - Incredibly amazing tour! We were able to see so much beauty. There was one part where there were 200 uneven stairs that I opted not to take. By doing that I miss the close-up of the waterfalls. Our guide was very knowledgeable and because we were all prompt back to the bus at every stop we had time to add in a little extra sightseeing. It is very expensive, but it is a fairly small group and. it was worth it. We added lunch to ours and the lunch was incredible. Try the non-alcoholic hillbilly ginger beer! Don’t go to the gift shop to buy it, as it is $10 a bottle. We saw it on the tour for $4.50.

Excellent Overview of Australian Wildlife and Nature - We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was a great way to see some of the beautiful wildlife and scenery outside of Sydney, especially since we had limited time. The weather was a bit overcast and rainy, but we still got to enjoy many of the sights. Helder was an excellent tour guide! He kept everyone engaged throughout with details about the sights, historical information about Australia, and local recommendations. He also did a great job offering alternate options when the weather shortened some of our stops.

Meh - A 5 star itinerary turned into a 3 star experience due to several issues-12 guests on a non Deluxe transport as billed. It was impossible to hear any commentary on board due to the whining engine, squealing brakes, shocks bouncing so badly and PA system reverb so much was lost. If you preview the menu for the restaurant on line which was lovely and excellent quality food-be advised that your options actually only included a short list of a few items so if you've preselected your lunch, most likely what is selected won't be available. While the guide was pleasant and obviously did an enormous amount of driving during the day, He did nothing to engage the group.
He seemed merely a bus driver rather than a tour leader. The sights were nice and the animal Farm was excellent.

Check the weather before leaving!! - Our driver Hedler was wonderful and did everything he could to make our Blue Mountains day tour good BUT the weather was awful so we saw nothing. All the look out points were covered in clouds and even the botanic gardens were impossible to visit (the one indoor exhibit was closed). Other buses at least had umbrellas for their guests. The weather should have been checked by the tour company before we departed and we should have been given an option - other tours we have taken gave partial reimbursements when the weather did not permit the full experience. Given the option my husband and I would not have wanted to spend the day on a bus to see clouds and would have happily done ANYTHING else in Sydney on our last day. SUPER disappointed!
