A Good Day’s Trip - Pickup was punctual and luckily we were one of the first onboard. Irene, our driver, gave us a running commentary on our way around the city pointing out the salient spots.
Irene, I should explain is an Aussie with a great Aussie sense of humour and has a colorful way about her.
Our first stop was the Sydney Zoo where besides the exotic animals we were reminded of the broad range of fauna and of the creatures that can kill you.
An early lunch at a small village called Leura in preparation for a longer stay at the Blue Mountain’s viewing area and the opportunity to ride on the cable cars.
We finished the tour at the Olympic Park ferry pier where we were able to catch the ferry back to Circular Quay. I thought this was an added bonus. Payment for the ferry ride was additional but easy. One can use the tap-on/tap-off facility with one’s credit card and then it’s just sit back and relax.
It was a great tour and I would recommend it to all ages.

Great driver, great excursion - Our driver, Irene was great. In addition to excellent driving skills, she went out of her way to explain everything about our excursion. Then along the ride she gave us interesting explanations about the city of Sydney, transportation tips and interesting information about the Blue Mountains explorers.
The mountains themselves were extraordinary.

Blue Mountains - Overall a fantastic experience. We would recommend a little more time at the Zoo and a map of the total Zoo would have been helpful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The Blue Mountains were absolutely stunning.

Look for other tours. - Great variety of pickup spots and the bus was comfortable. After I got on, I found that all the other passengers had booked directly with the company website - and had an additional tour option. In fact, I had to show the itinerary to the bus driver because he was not aware of it. My option was to go on my own for the walk at the end or find a way to get online to get a ticket for that other option.
I really wanted to go for a walk and did not think that other option would be worth the money.
1. The zoo was okay. I did not realize the option to be able to feed a kangaroo. Besides Australian animals, the zoo had African animals and some dinosaur animatronics but that was all.
2. The next stop after the zoo were to places to eat and shop.
3. The third stop was to an overlook and where you could also eat/shop.
4. And the last stop is where the other bus passengers had their additional activity. The driver led me to a path where I could walk and I had a time to get back. But I found that many of the paths were being reconstructed with detours and the one that was not was a LOT of steps down (and up).
And no "complimentary aboriginal cultural talk with an experienced guide"
So basically the tour consisted of activities I could to for the cost of a bus ticket.
