“It was a fairly expensive trip BUT it is all day. You travel a big distance. The Blue Mountains are quite something. scenery is spectacular and obviously the Three Sisters is a sight to behold. the cable car etc are a bit of fun, but like Disney most time is spent queueing. The stop at Echo Point is great as it gives you by far the best views. Leura is a nice little town. Featherdale is excellent for the koalas and the varieties of kangaroo but no big male greys. The quokkas were hiding 🙁 but the wombat was out wandering around. Really great trip and the return home by…”

“I loved this tour!! It was such a comprehensive day, and well worth it. My tour guide Phil was amazing and tried his hardest to make sure we got the best views. When we first got there it was super cloudy, but after it cleared up he took us back to an earlier spot just so we could have a good view. We had plenty of time at each stop and I never felt rushed. I would definitely recommend this as a day trip, and you also get back with plenty of time for dinner.”
