The bus itself was good but hourly timetables were NOT helpful. There are 23 sites on the route and you have to walk in between them or plan on sitting there for an hour. If these were every 20-30 minutes you’d be able to see more.

This tour service is the best way to see all the amazing sights of the blue mountains. The bus drivers ,Angus and Tim were very friendly and welcoming with lots of knowledge about the area and its history. The double decker bus is a stand out from the other tour companies and makes the experience even better. The amount of bus pick up places is great with a bus arriving every 30mins to take you to the next lookout of sightseeing activity is really good. I highly recommend these guys if you want a hassle free experience of the Blue mountains.

The good: The hop on and off bus is good for families. The drivers have good tidbits to share and the double decker bus is fun for sure. They give you a map with good info and have suggested destinations based upon who you are: family, couple, group, hikers, etc…so from that perspective, worth it The bad: the SEO is well done and makes it feel like they are the only bus you can take. Just know, if you want to take a regular town bus around to different sites, which comes more frequently, you can. Secondly, I bought the Lyre pass thinking I was getting a great deal with the zoo (redeem my adult ticket for a kids ticket the next day at the zoo). Buyer beware, there are two zoos in Sydney and the one you’re likely to go isn’t the one you get the special offer for. That left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not really their fault I guess, shame on me for not reading more closely that there is a difference between the Sydney Zoo and the Zoo in Sydney. BUT it does feel a bit bait and switchey for a city that very clearly has their tourism game down cold.

A brilliant way to see the area

Very good experience - interesting & informative guide with clear and friendly talk, excellent Bus upkeep, clearly marked places. Only if the frequency was halved, like a Bus every 30 min rather than 60 min !

This, after a day of amazing hikes through the blue mountains, was the cherry on top. Our entertaining, charismatic guide and bus driver Angus gave us a tour of the town and the parts of the mountains we had missed, making for an awesome end to our day. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love Angus the driver. He was so funny!!! Loved every ride with him and thank you for singing 2 songs for us (although please dont believe him when he says the guy's name in the song is Andy 🤣) all the drivers were so friendly and knowledgeable! Ask them for tips :) This HOHO bus is the best and totally worth it if you dont have a car. Far more reliable than public buses and the guide book is so informative!! Used the guidebook to plan most of my bush walks. The buses came roughly on time (plus minus a few mins) and the route was clear and totally not confusing. It drops you at all the major attractions. The huge bus is easy to spot as well and really comfortable with heated seats (such a great comfort in winter) Bought mine as a combo with scenic world which is cheaper than if you buy tix separately.

Excellent, Friendly, Knowledgeable

What an excellent service. We were only upset as we didn’t realise that if you are staying in the Blue Mountains overnight your ticket is valid for longer, as we would’ve used the service for both the days we were here. If you can, it is therefore much better value for money than paying to park; plus you then have the freedom to walk from one stop to another via the available bush walks. We feel terrible for forgetting their names but both the drivers on 19/8/2026 were absolutely excellent; clearly enjoy taking people around the sights as well as being extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We would absolutely recommend this service as a convenient way to explore the local area.

Great value

Great value for the bus and scenic world combo and we could even use the hope on and off bus for both Saturday and Sunday, which saved us public bus fees and allowed us to get to more beautiful spots :)) Definitely recommend it!!

The person who greeted us in Katoomba was outstanding. Their advice for making the most of our day was spot-on. Can’t wait to come back.

What a fantastic bus tour. Scenic, informative and capped off beautifully by driver/guide Angus’ rendition of Waltzing Matilda on this glorious warm sunny day.
