“One of the highlights of my trip into Sydney. Very caring staff always putting our safety first, as very knowledgeable. There was also complementary tea and coffee in the last leg of the journey which was a lovely touch. Points to improve - If you’re sitting outside and the engine is running full blast we can’t hear which we’re missing out important bits of the tour.”
Blue Mountains views, Sydney Zoo and Scenic World options, plus a Parramatta River ferry back to Circular Quay.
“The trip was great, mainly due to the tour guid Les who was so friendly and knowledgeable. We could have done without the cable cars as they were too busy and expensive for the few minutes journey. Walking around would have been better, for us.”
