Reviews for Blue Mountains Explorer Bus

There is only one bus and it’s every hour so this is definitely not a hop on, hop off service. It could be improved by adding another bus and making sure that the departure times in Katoomba line up with the train service from Sydney. Standing in the heat on any part of the route for 45 mins is not a great feature for getting around the area. Public buses would have been more timely and cost effective. The customer service at the office and the driver’s greeting and patter was excellent, badly let down by the infrequency of the bus.

Had a great tour, with each time informations from the drivers (also on where to start the walks) and a very useful booklet to get around easily. Would recommend if you want to sit back and enjoy the possibility to walk one ways and catch the bus at a later stage

Brilliant driver/ guide really made the trip.
We were unlucky either the weather, but the driver was amazing under the circumstances, and gave us plenty of interesting facts/ stories about the area. Suggestions for stops and view points, and she also suggested routes for suitable/ sensible walks considering the conditions.

Great experience
We ordered our tickets online, as a combo with Scenic World. Word to the wise, go to the main office at Katoomba train station to activate your ticket and grab the booklet that acts as your pass, as it gives you great options for different walks and activities. The drivers provide commentary. We hopped on and off a couple of times so experienced 3 different drivers. Each had their own extra snippets of info about each location on the circuit, which was fabulous. Welcoming, courteous, helpful, with a clean air conditioned double decker ( we needed it in the heat) and every half hour at each stop. Just excellent value for money.

Unexpectedly rewarding tour
Blue Mountain’s hop on hop off bus I took this explorer bus and got exceptionally rewarding experiences. All of the information regarding the routes, bus time, place of interests around each stop are so detailed and clearly provided. I was fortunate to meet driver guides Ms. Ella and Mr. Tom John, both are so knowledgeable about all the places passing by, and they were so kind and passionate to give relevant information and advice. I enjoy and recommend such hop on hop off service. Ronald from Taiwan

We had 2 drivers on our trip, first was good, second was outstanding. Weather was poor so views were hit and miss but the driver was so entertaining, also knowledgeable. Highly recommend this hop on, hop off tour

Good way to explore
Useful way to get to some of the main spots in and around Katoomba. Appreciated that that the drivers (in particular Ella) adjusted their commentary / recommendations to accommodate the wet weather.

great tour, weather was not too good.
friendly driver, ready to answer your questions. Our only wish was that the rai wouldve held off because with rain comes fog and kinda hard to see the valley when covered with fog.

Amazing agency, the bus ride was so cool, with live commentary and their overall services were amazing. They were very quick, friendly, and professional, considering we were there on a public holiday, service was top notch. The staff were ready to help out with maps and guiding us as we were unfamiliar with the surroundings. Amazing, and definitely check it out if you are in Katoomba!

A Great Way to See the Sights & Get Some History Too
On our last day in Sydney, we decided to see the Blue Mountains. To make sure we saw as much as possible, we chose the Hop On Hop Off Bus with the Scenic World Pass. We caught the bus in town and hit Scenic World first. Scenic is an understatement. We rode all 3 rides a couple of times each so we could get as many different views for our photos and videos. There are many different walking trails available ranging from easy to a bit longer and more challenging. The weather was perfect, so we hit most of them. The guide, given on the bus, lists them all with excellent descriptions. Now, a big shout out to our bus driver. Not only was his commentary interesting, but his humor elevated the whole experience. I later discovered that I had lost one of my credit cards. Aimee at Fantastic Aussie Tours reached out to me that afternoon to let me know the bus driver had found it. What a relief.

Brilliant day all round.
Great service. The welcome staff were very friendly. The bus driver should be on the stage. He was warm and friendly and very funny. The views are spectacular. The wildlife is amazing. Overall a great day.

Our bus driver, Angus, was a delight, making the trip more fun, and also gave great information and history on the Blue Mountains. We are visiting from Canada and were able to visit many spots in one day, including the three sisters, echo point, scenic world, Katoomba Falls, Leura falls, Cahill’s lookout, and Leura village. Leura village had lots of cute shops. I recommend the candy store, chocolate shop, and gift stores. I loved using this bus service to go around to different stops throughout the Blue Mountains!

Not good value
Not value for money. You would be better just using normal bus service. Bus on comes once an hour, so if you miss hop on time you are left waiting an hour. The normal bus service passing every few minutes.
