We had an amazing day, our guide was so nice, passionate, funny and friendly! With this tour we had the freedom to do the hikes we wanted, in the order we wanted and at our own pace! Really a great option for visiting the Blue Mountains !

The guide book that was included was very helpful. Even more helpful was the advice given by the bus driver at each stop. The driver also gave some brief interesting info regarding the area. My only recommendation for improvement would be if the bus service ran more frequently, as the 1 hour intervals sometimes required a bit of waiting time at some of the stops. But overall, this was a great option for seeing the different parts of the park, after taking the train from Sydney.
