They were prompt getting us to all activities and had enough time to spend at each activity! It was smart that we went to Sydney Zoo as our first stop because we were able to get through quickly with kangaroo feeding and koala photo taken. The entire day was jammed packed! Scenic Park was awesome with train and cable rides! Thanks to Rona and the bus bus driver! Great day!

What a terrible driver have you hired ? Bruno! He has no time management, was late, annoying as hell on mic, you better think of hiring an Australian not someone half way across the world, who passes comments about other nationality over mic and local Australian colonialism. I can vouch this person has not enough experience as a tour bus operator. What an awful and annoying trip it was…

We had a great day in the company of our tour guide/driver Les, and our other fellow travellers. The blue mountains were stunning plenty of amazing views. It was great getting into the zoo early before the crowds and the scenic world attraction was great fun. Les made the day so special he was so knowledgeable, fun and friendly. We learnt so much and enjoyed a laugh. The ferry back was a bonus and a great end to a perfect day. Recommend this great trip.

The hop-on, hop-off bus was very convenient, we could stop at any of the stops we wanted, and all the stop-offs were clearly labelled and announced in the bus. I enjoyed the freedom of doing everything in your own time. If I had to nitpick, I'd say some of the recommendation places for lunch wasn't as great as I expected it to be.

The info I got from the website said the tickets were good between 9 and 5 but the reality was that the last ride time was 3:40 so when we got there at 2:40 we only just had time to do all 3 rides because they said you need 90 minutes. We could have gone on the rides more than once if we had known to allow more time.

Great trip, from booking and the follow up email about where to meet-up for the coach pickup. The Company providing the tour bus were excellent and the driver was as good as it gets, very thorough and pleasant. All the stops which were planned, made for an excellent excursion and full day.

Book with caution. We booked and they changed our meeting point and did not inform us. We would not have known only I rang when the coach didn't turn up. She arranged another meeting point which was 1 hour and 10 min from orginal time. She said she would added10% to our account which was pointless as we were leaving Australia and definitely wouldn't be using the company again. When we said we were not happy with this we never heard anything again from the company and never saw the 10% refund. Excursion was just ok. Not the best. Book with caution.

We had a lovely time and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we can't blame you for the horrible weather. It didn't stop us having a great time and our driver Ben was outstanding. Very informative but didn't know that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was modelled on a bridge near our home in the UK. It is the Tyne bridge at Newcastle. He is welcome to use it in the future when addressing his passengers.

Brilliant time in the Blue Mountains, a good sampling of all it has to offer. I would've preferred more time trekking at scenic world, but hard to have it all. Definitely a good value for transport and entry fees compared to doing it yourself.

The hop-on, hop-off bus was very convenient, we could stop at any of the stops we wanted, and all the stop-offs were clearly labelled and announced in the bus. I enjoyed the freedom of doing everything in your own time. If I had to nitpick, I'd say some of the recommendation places for lunch wasn't as great as I expected it to be.

We stopped in numerous lookouts including Echo Point to see the 3 sisters rock foundation, Scenic world(using 3 rides and a walkway), Cahills lookout over the Megalong Valley, Leura,Lincoln's Rest abd visited Featherdale Wildlife Park where we actually fed kangaroos(one with a Joey). We had a lovely lunch,(choice of 4) at the Bunker, we had the gluten free chicken schnitzel with chips and salad. Then to finish off the day we were taken to the Sydney Olympic Park jetty to catch our ferry to Barangaroo along the Parramatta River. An amazing day from start to finish with perfect weather.

Very well planned day with good activities and experiences. Better than expected. And a fantastic guide who could tell and inform about almost everything. We felt in good hands. For us not staying in a hotel in city center it is importent with exact description of pick-up location, the name of the street. You have this in some pickup locations but not all. I needed my choice of pickup location in the confirmation mail after ordering. We will recommend you, surely.

Karen, our driver and tour guide, was brilliant. Karen was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept us on schedule. Blue Mountain experience was great, from seeing the three sisters thru hiking and seeing the beautiful waterfalls. I loved the whole trip. Getting too feed the Kangaroo and Emu at the zoo was a great way to finish the trip. Taking the ferry at the end back to Circular Quay was perfect as I was staying at hotel a few blocks from the drop off.

I was effortlessly able to experience the Blue Mountains during my vacation in Sydney. Matt was an excellent guide, and it was great to be with a group of people (since I was traveling solo). The ferry ride back was fun too: it was a great way to avoid traffic.

Karen, our driver and tour guide, was brilliant. Karen was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept us on schedule. Blue Mountain experience was great, from seeing the three sisters thru hiking and seeing the beautiful waterfalls. I loved the whole trip. Getting too feed the Kangaroo and Emu at the zoo was a great way to finish the trip. Taking the ferry at the end back to Circular Quay was perfect as I was staying at hotel a few blocks from the drop off.

I highly recommend this tour! The trip was well organized and we saw a lot of things during the journey. Our driver/guide is the best! Kellie was a really passionate and knowledgeable person, She explained many things and I learned a lot during the tour especially about the penguins. She also very cute & funny and really taking care of us. I really enjoy the puffing billy's train ride. But off course the highlight was to be able to watch the penguin parade. They are so adorable. Kellie gave us many tips to watch the penguin, just follow her lead, you will be so happy at the end. Thank you so much!

Had a very enjoyable day on the Great Ocean Road tour. Warren was our tour guide and driver, he was extremely knowledgable and had a great sense of humour, his jokes had us all cracking up for the day. Tour and itinerary was exactly as stated on the website. Stunning views and attractions as well as some fab koala sightings!! Would recommend to a friend! Thanks for a great day Warren!

After reading a few good reviews, I finally decided to book the Ocean Road trip with Wine Hop and Coastal Tours. The scheduled time was 7:00am on Sep 8, 2024. I got a message on Sep 6 that our pick up time has been changed to 6:35am at a slightly different location. As there was no scope to change the trip at such a short notice, inspite of the inconvenient timing, we decided to stick to the tour. As there was an elderly couple travelling with me with one of them having knee issue, I rushed and reached the venue at 6:38am, whereas the other members arrived at 6:44 am, which were delays of 3 minutes and 9 minutes respectively. As I was expecting a slight delay, I messaged on their number which I believed was the tour guide’s number at 6:31am (Melbourne Time) while we were walking towards the location. What followed post that was derogatory and humiliating to say the least. Warren got down from the bus instead of offering us seats and in full view of everyone, he gave an earful regarding being late. Almost all his comments began with the statement, “Don’t know about your country but here in Australia you have to play by the rules”, clearly asserting some form of dominance and bullying. He also threatened to leave us out in the cold if we got late later on during the day. He singlehandedly completely ruined the experience right from the start to the extent that one of my co-travellers was traumatized and found it very hard to participate in the activities later on in the day. Warren has a perfectly disguised two-pronged approach. He can be “nice” to someone with a smile one moment and then turn passive aggressive the next to another person. During the stop at Melba Gully rainforest, my friend approached him looking to clarify things and asked him to apologize for the treatment meted out to her parents to which he tried to shut us down, mocked us with hand gestures and later on got up on the bus and said “Don’t participate in a yelling match with me cause you guys won’t win.”, whereas all that was pointed to him was he had no right to humiliate women. He also further added, “I am expecting a review from you guys.” Warren has an extremely racial way of functioning and his behaviour is different for different sets of people (which kind of justifies some of the decent reviews he received). He also added statements in the end, “it doesnt matter what reviews come, good or bad, I get paid the same.” and “Me and my boss read reviews together and laugh.” I have used Get Your Guide for multiple tours in the past and I met amazingly kind tour guides. We had amazing experiences in Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania over a 2-week period. However, this hands down was the worst experience and straight up derogatory, all thanks to Warren. Even though there has been a delay of approximately 7-8 minutes, the same could have been conveyed politely instead of racial threats and intimidation considering the delay was miniscule with respect to the whole trip being of duration 12-13 hours. Additionally, once I returned to India, Warren called up threatening to remove the Google review which shows how the company operates.

Amazing trip, we saw jaw dropping cliffs and landscapes, 6 koalas (1 dead) in their natural habitats, mobs of kangaroos, great seafood (self-paid) and met with gorgeous solo travelling ladies. Best trip ever with best choice of tour provider and tour guide. 13 hours is a time commitment.

We had a great experience, started by being picked up on time. With Our guides indigenous background knowledge of the city and surrounding area Karen kept us movin and entertained. The sites were gorgeous and interactions with the animals at the zoo were awesome,. A note about our guide Karen, from pointing out great coffee shops to awesome lunch eateries, bringing bird food to feed wild cockatoos at one stop, all that and a sense of humor! Awesome excursion!

This tour has an early start and a late finish however it was well worth it. We had Martin as our tour guide and he was great, very relaxed but very helpful and informative too. We got to cover a lot of sights without the tour feeling rushed. I don’t know how Martin does all the driving as well as being a tour guide, but he seems to enjoy his job which makes the tour very enjoyable.

Rules
Tips
Dining
- Full day guided tours begin at around 6:30am. You will be picked up from the selected pick-up point in the city. Please note: the pick-up time will depend on the tour you book. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to your pickup spot to avoid any delays.
- Explorer buses start their trips daily at 9:15am, from Katoomba, with a one hour interval between each bus. The last bus for the day will depart from Katoomba at 4:45.
Best time to visit Blue Mountains
- Peak vs. off-peak: Australia's busiest period is during the Summer months from December to February. For a more laidback experience, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of Spring (September to November) and Autumn (March to May). There's also a good chance of getting cheaper rates on hotels and flights during this time.
- Sunny vs chilly: Summer and Winter (June to August) can get too sunny or cold. Spring and Autumn have mild temperatures and pleasant weather, perfect for outdoor activities.
Address: Katoomba NSW 2780, Australia | Find on Maps
Getting from Sydney to Blue Mountains
