Buses would not slow down at designated stops to look out for passengers. When running at only 30 minute frequency, missing a bus means a lot of valuable time wasted. Such a shame.

We had a great experience with the hop on-off bus services at the Blue mountains. Pros: -23 stops in total across all hiking spots and cafe shops -The bus leaves every 30-60 mins depending on normal days or school holidays -We loved the heated interiors as a respite from the rainy weather outside - Special shoutout to the drivers esp Bill for the great live commentary - We opted for the day pass and it came with a booklet which has amazing information about all the 23 spots and special bushing walking spots from these locations. Cons: None

Our experience was great from start to end. We ordered tickets online and this was easy. We checked in at the office to collect our Lyrebird tickets and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was a wet and foggy day and they gave us great suggestions for our day. The drivers were informative and friendly and we loved Scenic World. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Katoomba. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

My partner Tim and I spent two days exploring Katoomba and the picturesque surrounds. Best decision we made was to purchase the Explorer Bus Pass. The service provided was exemplary, and we found the commentary informative, and at the same time, witty. Tim and I found the Hop on, Hop off service very convenient because we could enjoy each of the sights at our own pace. We appreciated the suggestions given to us by the drivers, which made our time in Katoomba thoroughly enjoyable. I feel terrible for not remembering all the driver names from Saturday 4 July 2027, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you for taking care of your passengers. Angus, David, and Tim, thank you as well. We purposely did not visit Scenic World during our two day stay, but that is only for the sole purpose of returning and using your friendly and reliable service to take in the stunning Blue Mountains. PS: next time we return it will be during the week, and not during school holidays ๐Ÿ˜€.

Thank you for having us!

We spent two days exploring Katoomba and the picturesque surrounds. Best decision we made was to purchase the Explorer Bus Pass. The service provided was exemplary, and we found the commentary informative, and at the same time witty. My partner Tim and I found the Hop on, Hop off service very convenient because we could enjoy each of the sights at our own pace (and on the second day, revisited our favourite stop, amongst the others we did not visit the previous day). We appreciated the suggestions given to us by the drivers, which made our time in Katoomba thoroughly enjoyable. I feel terrible for not remembering all the drivers names from Saturday 4 July 2026, but I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to each of you for taking care of your passengers. Angus, David, and Tim you were brilliant and funny. We purposely did not visit Scenic World during our recent two day stay, but that is only for the sole purpose of returning and using your friendly and reliable service to take in the stunning Blue Mountains. PS: next time we return it will be during the week, and not during the school holidays.

The staff and drivers were very friendly, helpful, and professional. We also learned a lot about the history of each lookout point, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The drivers were incredibly patient and welcoming throughout the trip. We truly appreciate all of your help and highly recommend this tour. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!

Such a great way to get around and see all the sights without worrying about driving or parking! The drivers were friendly and the bus ran right on time, which made planning our day so much easier. Most people use it as a classic hop-on hop-off to hit the main lookouts, but we got a bit more adventurous with ours โ€” taking it one way then hiking to a different stop before hopping back on to continue exploring. Worked out perfectly and gave us way more flexibility than I expected. Would definitely recommend, whether you're doing the laid-back loop or mixing in some hiking like we did.

Great experience for a few days out in the Blue Mountains

Great experience for a few days out in the Blue Mountains! Drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and bus ran on time. Great way to experience a few spots in the Blue Mountains without driving. We used it for our hiking adventures.

(Translated by Google) Day trip, bus around the 2 neighboring towns, 23 stops, every hour the bus will leave for another round, travelers can get on and off as they wish for two days, some are content to get off at a scenic point with the cliffs, forests, valleys, mists and everything you see to the distant horizon, those who want to get off at one stop and from there walk to another stop, the booklet attached to each ticket has an exceptionally good description and recommendations for hiking trails or interesting places, we are an elderly couple who are also somewhat challenged by walking, we will discuss at stations that do not require much walking but bring views and more views, yes, the galleries inside Katoomba also have a lot of views and spectacular exhibits that include the immediate and more distant surroundings. Simply recommended, after a stop or two you already know the driver and some of the passengers like a small community (Original) ื™ื•ื ื˜ื™ื•ืœ, ืื•ื˜ื•ื‘ื•ืก ืกื•ื‘ื‘ 2 ื”ืขื™ื™ืจื•ืช ื”ืกืžื•ื›ื•ืช ืื—ืช ืœืฉื ื™ื”, 23 ืชื—ื ื•ืช, ื›ืœ ืฉืขื” ื”ืื•ื˜ื•ื‘ื•ืก ื™ืŸืฆื ืœืกื™ื‘ื•ื‘ ื ื•ืกืฃ, ื”ืžื˜ื™ื™ืœื™ื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ื‘ืžืฉืš ื™ื•ืžื™ื™ื ืœืขืœื•ืช ืœืจื“ืช ื›ืจืฆื•ื ื, ื™ืฉ ืžื™ ืฉืžืกืชืคืง ืœืจื“ืช ืœื ืงื•ื“ืช ื ื•ืฃ ืžืงื™ืžื” ืขื ื”ืžืฆื•ืงื™ื, ื”ื™ืขืจื•ืช, ื”ืขืžืงื™ื, ื”ืขืจืคื™ืœื™ื ื•ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉืจื•ืื™ื ืขื“ ื”ืื•ืคืง ื”ืจื—ื•ืง, ืžื™ ืฉืจื•ืฆื” ืœื—ืœืฅ ื’ื•ืคื• ื‘ื”ืœื™ื›ื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืจื“ืช ื‘ืชื—ื ื” ืื—ืช ื•ืžืฉื ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœ ืœืชื—ื ื” ืื—ืจืช, ื‘ื—ื•ื‘ืจืช ื”ืžืฆื•ืจืคืช ืœื›ืœ ื›ืจื˜ื™ืก ื™ืฉ ืคืจื•ื˜ ื™ื•ืฆื ื“ื•ืคืŸ ืœื˜ื•ื‘ื” ื•ื”ืžืœืฆื•ืช ืขืœ ืžืกืœื•ืœื™ ื˜ื™ื•ืœ ืื• ืžืงื•ืžื•ืช ืžืขื ื™ื™ื ื™ื, ืื ื—ื ื• ื–ื•ื’ ืžืงืฉื™ืฉื™ื ืฉื—ืœืง ื’ื ืžืื•ืชื’ืจ ื”ืœื™ื›ื” ื™ืื“ื ื• ื‘ืชื—ื ื•ืช ืฉืœื ืžืฆืจื™ื›ื•ืช ื”ืœื™ื›ื” ืจื‘ื” ืื‘ืœ ืžื‘ื™ืื•ืช ื ื•ืฃ ื ื•ืฃ ื•ืขื•ื“ ื ื•ืฃ, ื›ืŸ ื’ื ื‘ื’ืœืจื™ื•ืช ื‘ืชื•ืš ืงื˜ื•ืžื‘ื” ื™ืฉ ื”ืจื‘ื” ื ื•ืฃ ื•ืžื•ืฆื’ื™ื ืžืจื”ื™ื‘ื™ื ื”ืžื›ื™ืœื™ื ืืช ื”ืกื‘ื™ื‘ื” ื”ืงืจื•ื‘ื” ื•ื’ื ืจื—ื•ืงื” ื™ื•ืชืจ. ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืžื•ืžืœืฅ, ืื—ืจื™ ืชื—ื ื” ืื• ืฉืชื™ื™ื ื›ื‘ืจ ืžื›ื™ืจื™ื ืืช ื”ื ื”ื’ ื•ื—ืœืง ืžื”ื ื•ืกืขื™ื ื›ืžื• ืงื”ื™ืœื” ืงื˜ื ื”
