Easy way to see the blue mountains
Easy ·Easy way to see the blue mountains. Drivers were nice
Love Love love
Maria ·Amazing totally worth it I would de definitely reccommend everyone doing this adventure
A convenient and fun way to see the Blue Mountains
Lisa & Ken from Ottawa ·We took the 2 hour train ride from Sydney Central to Leura and used our Go City Pass for a traditional high tea at Bygone Beautys in Leura(yummy!). We walked the 30 minutes to Katoomba and had our passes validated at the zBlue Mountains HOHO shop near Stop 1. We browsed the area around Stops 1-4, then caught the bus at Stop 4. The drivers narrated so we learned as we admired the gorgeous views. The bus only ran every hour when we were there on a Thursday, so we had to be careful about where and when to leave the bus to avoid lengthy waits. We completed an entire circuit (about 55 minutes) and then disembarked at Stop 5 and reboarded at Stop 6. A lovely walk along the ridge in the woods! We reboarded at Stop 8 and enjoyed the falls and a walk there too. It was late afternoon by then and very foggy, so we reboarded for the return trip to Katoomba. It is very easy to take the train to/from Sydney to see this amazing place.
Convenient
Audrey ·This bus tour is good. It’s convenient to travela round the blue mountains area and get various information. The bus stops are easy to find.
Best way to tour the Blue Mountains
T Gramma ·We took the train out there and did this bus tour. We felt it was the best way to see things great views even while driving.
September visit
Adam G ·Great way to get around and well organized. Need more frequent bus runs as we felt forced to skip things in order to make bus timings. Parts of the trails were closed; this was communicated but it would have been helpful to know which Walk(s) were affected
