Tour was good. "Bus" was comfortable. The tour took us to all of the highlights of the Blue Mts. including some trails off of the roads. Tour guide was knowledgeable. Stop at featherdale was excellent. You can get up close and personal with the koala bears and kangeroos there as well as seeing other animals. We went during the spring and some areas were closed by bush fires, but this is not he tour's fault.
We actually ended up taking the coach tour as the operator was unable to run this trip. We had a super day and would totally recommend this trip to take you out of Sydney and experience some memorable views of the Blue Mountains and Three Sisters. Scenic World was fantastic too. Whilst you'd imagine the gondola and sky ride as being the "only way the travel" the train down into the valley was an experience in itself - this isn't to be missed. Featherdale is a fab place to stop, you get up close and personal to lots of Australian's furry locals. Our driver was also very informative and lovely guy. Do this trip!!! Enjoy!
This was a great tour and it is highly recommended. The views were beautiful and really enjoyed seeing the mountains via Scenic World. Our time at the Featherdale Wildlife Park was amazing. The only down side is it would have been nice to have just a little longer. But it was great to pet the koala and feed the kangaroos. Definitely an unforgettable experience!
I'm sure much of our enjoyment was due to our driver, Paul. He is a local and had lots of interesting information he shared with us. The early arrival to Featherdale was great. The animals were ready for guests and it was not crowded. I also like that the tour allowed us to take the three types of transportation available at the Blue Mountains. That was fun. I do wish the lunch had been a bit more creative. The food was somewhat bland, particularly for the price.
What an exciting day! I love every bit of the tour in Blue Mountains and Featherdale Wildlife Park. Excellent!
Very expensive and if we have had the chance we would have cancelled this day. The guide was good but the wanted to add extras for Aborigins etc and the day was rushy from place to place. We had almost no time for lunch and walking in the rain forest. The stop at Featherdale wildlife park was very good.
This tour was very enjoyable except for the mess up with not knowing about the additional charges for the skytrain. We were misinformed and told that the lunch was the only optional charge. even the bus driver said that this happens almost every day so apparently we were not the only ones led to believe that the transportation in the park was included. It was a real problem for us and the driver because he could not take credit cards or american currency. we were 4 people and the extra charge was 112 us dollars. We were upset with the hassle. Also we did not have lunch because we ran out of time. Not enough time was given for the park nor at featherdale.
Really great tour, nice vehicle and great tour leader! I would suggest a bit more time in Featherdale, but overall a wonderful day!!!
Featherdale zoo was the highlight of this trip. Don't waste your money on the skywalk!
This was an excellent trip. We enjoyed the day so much. The Blue Mountains are very scenic. We were lucky to get good views before the clouds and rain rolled in. The railway at Scenic World was like the old "E" ride at Disneyland. Scary, but fun. I can't decide which was scarier...going down or going up backward. We got a special treat to see the Aborigine dancers before we reached Scenic World. Our stop at Featherdale was a treat. We fed the kangaroos and patted the koala. So cute. We even had time to drive through Olympic Park on the way back to Sydney. It was a long day, though, but very glad we did it.
Good day trip. Our driver was very informative and Freindly. Was a little crowded once we got to Scenic World since it was a Sunday. Would suggest doing this during the week. Also, 1 of the 3 rides was down so the other 2 were a little crowded. Featherdale Zoo was the best. You definately need more than an hour there. Would go back just to Featherdale Zoo on our own. If you don't have a lot of time to explore all of the sites, this is definately a good way to see all of them in 1 day.
Thoroghly enjoyed the trip.The sights were beautiful and the Featherdale wildlife park is fantastic!!!
A good day out but rather a lot of travel between points of interest - a little more time at Featherdale and Katoomba would have made the day better instead of some pointless stops - overall a good day out!
I have been on 3 Blue Mountain tours in the past, but I have to say this one was the best. small groups, super tour guide and the chance to visit Featherdale Wildlife in the early morning before other tours arrived. I was the first to feed the wallabies and actually see a koala wide awake having had a tasty breakfast of eucalyptus leaves!
We had terrible weather, and the Blue Mointain part of the trip should have been canceled or cut short - we spent hours looking at dense fog. Also, should let customers know that you have to pay to do anything at Scenic World. I thought we could hike around on our own, but you have to pay to enter. Featherdale was fantastic - we should have just gone there in such bad weather.
