We had Sean as our tour guide and he told us all the little tips for the best experience. We had a small group which I find more enjoyable. The highlight was the Zig Zag train ride We can definitely recommend this tour
Highlight of our visit to Sydney! We had a great tour to the Blue Mountains with Sonne as our guide. We were lucky to have perfect blue skies and the tour to ourselves! Sonne was informative and we had time to do a little more walking because there wasn’t a big group. Entry to the railway and scenic world were included in our tour - really great value for a wonderful day.
A great mix of activity’s and attractions in the blue mountains region. A well paced day and our tour guide Shirley was amazing. We appreciated the tour going ahead with just the two of us, it was like having a personalised tour
I wanted to experience the Zig Zag railway, and this was worth the time to go. I thought there might be a diesel instead of steam, since it was a Monday and so few had booked the tour. I was so happy when I caught sight of the locomotive. Shirley, my guide, was happy I hadn’t cancelled because I was her sole passenger, so it was more personalized. The Scenic World cables cars are fascinating, and the forest that they traverse is a rainforest, which I explored a bit.
If you’re time poor, like I was, this tour is great and ticking a lot of boxes. Love the zig zag railway. The views throughout Blue Mountains were stunning. Well organised small group tour and guide (Yilin) was friendly and happy to give detailed commentary both in English and Chinese.
Such a beautiful vantage point for stunning views. Wonderful experience over over the valley. The railway was great, and all the staff were amazing,
We enjoyed the day but be prepared for a long time travelling and for queues at Scenic World. The tour guides were very good.
