Trip as advertised for scenic beauty - Wentworth Falls hike was phenomenal, and done at a reasonable pace to accommodate a range of people. Stops at 3 Sisters and overlook for sunset also great. No kangaroos sighted, but no guarantees. Guide was helpful and appropriate with discussion.

Great guide and great tour - We had a stop in a local area to stock up on food and drink. Then we continued towards the first hiking trail in the mountains. Here we went to a lookout together and then decided whether we wanted to run down the somewhat difficult path to the waterfall or run a slightly easier path to another lookout. Afterwards we went on the big hike. Wonderful nature and original paths. Hiking boots are especially recommended in wet conditions. It went to the foot of the huge waterfall as an option. Those who were no longer fit enough waited upstairs. 490 steps down and up again 😀. Due to the bad weather (complete fog up to the bus ) we skipped the Three Sister's. For the weather, the guide cannot deduct a star.

Excellent tour with gorgeous views of the mountains and waterfalls! - The tour was fun, well designed with stops every hour. The hike to the Wentworth falls was quite fun, but may require a better descriprion, considering shoes the wet and muddy surfaces and very likely rain. Other than that, it was great! The views were stunning, the stops to sit and enjoy were well planned. The guide gave good information. I highly recommend it!

Enjoyable day away from the city - This is a long tour, about 9-10 hours. We met at 12pm and returned at 9:30pm. We stopped multiple times to get food and to walk to lookouts. The main hike was about 2 hours but it was mild with some stairs. This hike was the highlight of the trip. The tour guide Smokey was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. The bus has USB ports on the back of the seats to charge your phone. Bring lots of water as the weather is hot and humid in February. It was great to talk with the other passengers because we were from all around the world.

Excellent introduction to the Blue Mountains! - Really enjoyed our trip to the blue mountains. Can be difficult to experience in a single day but this tour gives you all the highlights, including Wentworth Falls and the Three Sisters. Our guide Buck was great fun and had a wide range of both local and historical knowledge, making it a really interesting tour. Beautiful walks and spotted wild kangaroos to boot!

Wonderful views + experience - I was cautious at first about booking such a long tour, but it turned out to be an experience I'll always remember. The stops offered amazing views of the Blue Mountains and surrounding vista.
The driver/guide was great at providing info without constantly talking the whole time. I appreciated this, as some tour guides can be overwhelming like that. He made sure we knew about times to return to the bus and where food/water and rest stops were located.
The value of this trip is amazing for the duration and what you can see. Make sure you were sunscreen and have good comfortable shoes equipped. The hikes are well worth the views. Just make sure you have plenty of battery life to take those photos. (There are USB chargers on the bus, so bring a charging cable.)

Not a guide, a driver - The views were beautiful! However, our tour guide was more of a driver than a guide. He was 20 minutes late to the main pickup point, he gave no clear explanations of what to expect during the tour or who he was, he was inconsistent with timing (told us to be back to the bus in 40 minutes but then named a different time, for example: it was 2pm and he said "you have 40 minutes at this stop...be back at 230pm."), he provided no amenities (no wifi on the bus, and certainly no water), he could answer zero questions about our surroundings (we asked "what is that," he often responded with "I don't know," which is not a crime, but pretending to care enough to lie about looking it up later would be appreciated- additionally he called a group of Kangaroo a herd instead of a mob, which felt especially egregious), and when group members raised concerns about getting to the sunset spot on time he told us we were "thinking too much," and offered no additional info.
If you decide to do this tour bring your own water! He said multiple times there were water refill stations, but we only found one actual refill station, as best we could tell he mostly meant for us to refill with tap water. Tap water there was fine, but we couldn't fit our water bottles under the sink tap and often had to get creative throughout the day to avoid dehydration, especially before and after the hike. Speaking of the hike, our group was filled to the max, literally every seat on the bus was taken (24 people I believe?), so when we were on the hike if you were more than 3 people behind him, you couldn't hear anything he was saying- including instructions. He seemed annoyed at the end of our hike, after our scheduled free time, when he couldn't find everyone in a timely manner. Obviously big groups sometimes have stragglers, but he lost track of about 6-8 people many of which "somehow" got past him and made their own way up the trail to the bus. Another group member volunteered to run up to the bus to check and get a head count while he told the rest of us to start making our own way back up to the bus and to "stay together." He stayed behind, I presume to check for stragglers, and met up with the group later muttering about leaving two group members (the stragglers) at the nearest train station. The rest of the group was waiting at a rest stop near the parking lot, given we had no idea where he left the bus (this wasn't the first time that day he dropped us off somewhere and disappeared with the bus). Maybe its only a personal opinion that tour guides should be available to group members and aware of their locations at all times especially in a national park, but maybe consider having at least 2 guides with a group this big? This guide wasn't able to provide for all of us safely.
Finally it was too overcast to actually see the sunset, which was not the guide's fault- but he seemed annoyed when the group came back to the bus early, he had to put his Kindle down and pack up his lawn chair, and told us that it hadn't "set yet," despite being unable to provide an actual sunset time. At this last stop he gave further poor directions, pointing to a trail and telling us there was a waterfall at the end, but neglecting to mention it was a 20 min walk both ways at a roughly (we were never sure of the times) 40 min stop. Given that we didn't want to be the next ones threatened with abandonment we didn't want to risk any additional exploring, especially as the sunset was supposed to happen sometime soon.
The actual group was full of lovely people, and it felt like we bonded over this experience- starting from when he was late to pick us all up. I feel very lucky that our group was so kind, and so willing to look out for each other. I'm almost certain someone would have been left behind otherwise.
In summation: this tour is fine if you don't mind not having a guide or a schedule. The views and the hike were lovely, but I would hesitate to do this tour alone, and I would recommend bringing your own water, you own snacks, a rain jacket, and probably a watch with a timer to make sure you aren't left behind.
