What To Expect
After morning pickup at select central Sydney hotels, your small group travels in a comfortable minivan to the outskirts of Sydney. The first stop of the day is at Calmsley Hill, a working farm also home to kangaroos, emus, wombats, and koalas. Enjoy morning tea and time to wander at your leisure.
Next, travel to a lookout where you can enjoy sweeping views of Jamison Valley before heading to Eaglehawk Lookout to see the famous rock formation known as the Three Sisters. Your guide shares local Aboriginal legends about the formation and shows you the best spots for photo ops.
Stop for lunch in the town of Medlow Bath, where the Hydro Majestic Hotel sits overlooking Megalong Valley. You have the option to include a 2-course lunch at the hotel restaurant, which features fine regional foods and sweeping views from large picture windows. Drinks are not included but can be purchased during lunch. Alternatively, your guide can recommend places to eat if you do not wish to include meals.
Continue exploring a number of scenic lookouts in the afternoon, including the celebrated Govetts Leap, which boasts great views of Bridal Veil Falls, a waterfall that cascades 590 feet (180 meters) down a forested cliff. Wrap up with a walk through the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens Mt. Tomah where you can see more than 40,000 types of cool climate plant species from gardens that overlook the Blue Mountains. Your tour ends with return to Sydney in the late afternoon.

Incredibly amazing tour! We were able to see so much beauty. There was one part where there were 200 uneven stairs that I opted not to take. By doing that I miss the close-up of the waterfalls. Our guide was very knowledgeable and because we were all prompt back to the bus at every stop we had time to add in a little extra sightseeing. It is very expensive, but it is a fairly small group and. it was worth it. We added lunch to ours and the lunch was incredible. Try the non-alcoholic hillbilly ginger beer! Don’t go to the gift shop to buy it, as it is $10 a bottle. We saw it on the tour for $4.50.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Vickie, so great to hear you enjoyed the day with us in the Blue Mountains. the 200 stairs can be a slight workout, but well worth the reward with the waterfall lookout. I am glad that the guide allowed some extra sightseeing on the day also.
We recommend the 2 course lunch option, as this is a full day tour, and our clients will need some food during the day. Our lunch venue is a highly regarded Hydro Majestic with great views.
all the best

We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was a great way to see some of the beautiful wildlife and scenery outside of Sydney, especially since we had limited time. The weather was a bit overcast and rainy, but we still got to enjoy many of the sights. Helder was an excellent tour guide! He kept everyone engaged throughout with details about the sights, historical information about Australia, and local recommendations. He also did a great job offering alternate options when the weather shortened some of our stops.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for leaving us a review. Helder is a relatively new, but experienced part of our team , he knows the Blue Mountains well and has the ability to get the most out of every day .
thanks

Kathy was a lovely and knowledgeable tour guide. She kept everything smooth and we saw so many things in 8 hours.

A 5 star itinerary turned into a 3 star experience due to several issues-12 guests on a non Deluxe transport as billed. It was impossible to hear any commentary on board due to the whining engine, squealing brakes, shocks bouncing so badly and PA system reverb so much was lost. If you preview the menu for the restaurant on line which was lovely and excellent quality food-be advised that your options actually only included a short list of a few items so if you've preselected your lunch, most likely what is selected won't be available. While the guide was pleasant and obviously did an enormous amount of driving during the day, He did nothing to engage the group.
He seemed merely a bus driver rather than a tour leader. The sights were nice and the animal Farm was excellent.

HI we are very disappointed to read your review. We are sorry you felt that the day was not up to standards. Regarding the vehicle, regrettably we were forced to contract a vehicle in as the vehicle allocated to your tour developed a mechanical issue the day prior and we felt it was best to hire a vehicle than to disappoint our guests by having to cancel the tour. The vehicle was a 28 seat vehicle so it was certainly spacious for 12 guests - our tours do operate to a maximum of 14 guests. We are in discussions with the hire company in relation to the quality of what we were provided and we do apologise that it was not up to our normal standards.
I am a little unsure as to your comments re lunch. We never offer ordering from the a la carte menu. As a tour company, we have a selected menu that is prepared by the Chef's at the Boilerhouse Cafe. This is a 2 course lunch that many of our guests find very tasty. In fact, I received this review directly this morning from some recent clients - " amazing experiences with animals, enjoyed Blue Mountains and we learnt a lot on this trip. We are so happy we took it. PS. Food was delicious 😋
We do have guests pre order lunch in order to ensure everything is served in a timely manner as we have a busy day and lots of sights to fit in.
I am sorry you also did not feel you engaged with your guide.. our guides' do the best they can with all the guests on board and try hard to ensure eveyone has an enjoyable experience. The weather was stunning on Sunday so you would have seen some amazing views and it seems your experience at Calmsley Hill was also enjoyable. I do hope this addresses some of your comments and if you are ever back in Sydney we would be happy to offer you a complimentary tour on either our Blue Mountains tour or City Sights tour. Wishing you all the very best for the rest of your holiday in Australia

It was a big disappointment. That’s totally not our guide’s fault but because of the weather we saw literally nothing - all of the viewpoints were covered by fog and because of the weather conditions we were unable to go to Botanical garden as well. So at the end we just spent the whole day in the van :( Out last day in Australia was lost. I’d suggest to have an alternative route for the days like this because our guide mentioned that it happens in 50% of the cases.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hi Tamara. I am sorry the weather was not in our favour for the day you went to the mountains. The fog certainly is not the normal, and not the case 50% of the time. The reality is that whilst rain may be somewhat predictable, or forcasted, the fog really is not predictable. We operate the tour with the best intentions, with the clients satisfaction our priority. i looked at the GPS data of your vehicles movements, and can see Karyn tried her hardest to return to many locations later in the day in the hope of the fog clearing. The reason you could not make it to the gardens on that day is because a tree had fallen over the Bells Line of Road, bring down power lines. The road simply was blocked. This has to be one of the rarest times where we have not been able to get to the gardens, so I apologise for this.
Regards

Matt was amazing! So knowledgeable about Australia. We learned a lot. The farm we stopped at was neat. Unfortunately we had a lot of fog the day we went and were unable to see the blue mountains. Matt changed directions and took us on a drive to see kangaroos in the wild. We saw quite a few. The botanical gardens were beautiful. The lunch was really good. Highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for reviewing our product, and that Matt provided a wonderful day, even with the fog. regards
Karen_Y, Feb 2024
This was a really great trip! Our driver/guide was wonderful. Got to pet a koala, my husband got to meet a wombat and the animal experience was great. Blue mountains are beautiful and our lunch, which we included, was fantastic. We have done lunches before with excursions but none of them have been as good as this one was at Hydro Majestic Hotel. We ended the day with a visit to the Blue Mountains Botanical Gardens. Plus we got picked up at the door of our hotel.
