Seamless booking experience via Klook! Mobile vouchers makes it so convenient w/o having to present hard copy print-outs. Great nature walks and amazing views of the Blue Mountains. The Railway ride is a must try!

I went on the Featherdale + Blue Mountains tour with guide Kelvin Sung! Since it was a summer starlight tour, the schedule ended late, but after it was over, instead of saying "Ah, I'm tired," the first thing I said was "Wow, that was a great trip." From the moment we set off, I noticed that the guide's voice was really nice, lol. I thought he was a radio DJ... it was easy to concentrate on the explanations because they were so easy on the ears. We started the day at Featherdale Wildlife Park, and it was amazing to see Australian animals in real life. We took pictures with the panoramic view at Lincoln's Rock, and had plenty of time for a break in Leura Village. It was amazing that the schedule went smoothly even though the temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius that day. He timed the breaks perfectly, so there was no physical strain. We had dinner in Katoomba Village, and I recharged my k-blood at the Korean restaurant he recommended after a long time. The most impressive thing was definitely the Blue Mountains sunset and the stargazing. Especially when watching the sunset and the stars, the guide took us to a secret spot he had discovered himself, and the scenery was so quiet and peaceful that the emotion was doubled. In the car, he didn't just explain the tourist attractions, but also gave us encouraging words and positive expressions, which made me feel good throughout the tour. Everyone in the tour group said, "He's the best guide I've ever met," and I completely agree. Even in the hot weather, he took care of us meticulously and created a great atmosphere, making it a tour that will remain in my memory for a long time. I really want to recommend it to people around me, and if I come again, I will definitely choose this tour again!!

I booked this a night before and its the best decision. The tour guide was for korean and can speaks english clearly for non koreans. I took featherdale zoo which you can pet the animals and the blue mountains spots which was a great day of reflection. the weather was a mix of rain and sunshine but i guess he checked to arrange the best weather per area. which made us lucky. Thank you again to our very energetic tour guide.

I spent a day on this tour during my Sydney trip and it was truly satisfying. From the morning pickup to the itinerary, everything was systematically managed, so I could enjoy it comfortably. At Featherdale Wildlife Park, I was thrilled to see koalas and kangaroos up close. The view of the Blue Mountains was much grander than the pictures I had seen, and the cable car and railway at Scenic World were thrilling and fun. The guide explained everything in detail and took good care of the photo spots in between, so I had a fulfilling day. If you visit Sydney, I highly recommend it!

The majestic scenery of the Blue Mountains offers a visual and physical escape when you ascend to take in the views. The activity starts with a photo op at Lincoln's Rock, where you can sit on the edge of the cliff – the driver/guide will help take pictures, but be mindful of your own safety as there's an endless drop below. I have a fear of heights and felt dizzy, so I took the picture standing up. Next, we went to Echo Point to admire the Three Sisters rock formation up close and appreciate their unwavering, resilient spirit. Then came the highlight of the tour – experiencing three different cable cars at Blue Mountains National Park. For the red cable car, which has the steepest incline, it's best to hold onto your backpack and not leave it on the empty seat next to you, because the descent gets incredibly steep, and your bag will likely fall down to several seats in front of you. After the descent, there's a forest trail with many lifelike dinosaur displays. The whole itinerary is quite relaxing, and at lunchtime, you'll go to town for a free meal, where you can choose your favorite restaurant.

The Blue Mountains Hop-On Hop-Off bus was incredibly convenient and stress-free. It hit all the must-see spots, like the Three Sisters, Scenic World, and the best scenic overlooks. Hopping off to explore and then catching the next bus was a breeze. The drivers were friendly, and the narration was packed with information. It's the perfect way to experience the Blue Mountains at your own speed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We participated in Boxing Day on December 26th. The weather was cloudy with occasional rain. Even though it was supposed to be summer in Sydney, the temperature was low and very cold (enough to see our breath). However, thanks to the wonderful support of our guide, Mayuko, we were able to efficiently and thoroughly enjoy the key spots. Since the Blue Mountains have a high altitude, I think it's a good idea to have a thick jacket, even if Sydney is warm. If you don't need it, you can leave it on the bus. The brownie at the chocolate shop in the town of Leura, where we stopped for lunch, was so delicious that I can't forget it. I would like to try again on a day with good weather.

We had an amazing time today though the weather did not do us a favour. We couldn't get to see any Blue mountains nor 3 sisters etc. But we simply love the heavy fog and the walk in the Rainforest. Our tour guide Lower ( I'm not sure how to spell his name) was amazing. He tried his best to make sure we still get to enjoy the trip despite the weather and we did! He will think of something for us to experience which I think is remarkable!

I applied with my girlfriend, and we're leaving with really great memories. The weather was a whopping 43 degrees Celsius, but we kept moving in the car and only visited places worth seeing, so we enjoyed ourselves without even realizing it was hot. The zoo we went to first was better than expected, and then I was amazed once again by the sunset at Blue Mountains. And finally, I will never forget the starry sky I saw at night. In particular, the guide gave us a lot of explanations, but he explained them in an easy and fun way, so I naturally learned a lot. The atmosphere was also pleasant, so the travel time wasn't boring at all. He recommended Sydney restaurants, attractions, as well as alcohol and bars that I would like, which was a great help for my future travel plans.
