Being an all inclusive we expected that the time for visiting each site would have been “just enough”. Actually our guide/driver Steve was very helpful giving suggestions to enjoy at most each site. Great experience

We had a beautiful day sightseeing! At every stop we were more and more impressed with the views. A very nice relaxing leisurely day trip. Our stop for lunch was also exceptional!

We lost 1.5 hours due to coach breakdown. Hence at scenic world we only manage to take the Skyway and miss the cable car and railway ride

This tour had everything you needed for a perfect day out. No stress and no rushing as the time to see each attraction was plentiful. The bus ride was informative, comfy and the driver Henry was amazing. Food for lunch was delicious and the town of Leura is excellent to explore. Overall a wonderful day out.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and was overly impressed with the quality of AAT Kings. The guide Stuart was very personable and made everyone feel welcome. He gave just the right amount of history and knowledge sharing to make the trip enjoyable. He had a great sense of humor too. Overall, this trip is well worth the cost and made for a great day. BUT, be sure you know what type of tour you are getting yourself into to avoid any issues. Here are a few pros and cons from my experience. Pros: - Featherdale wildlife was incredible. We got their super early and had the park to ourselves. You got to take selfies with kangaroos and Koala pictures (which costed extra but reasonable prices). The staff was super friendly and are all local to the neighborhood. The entire stop was perfect. - Scenic World was pretty cool and a great way to see the Blue Mountains. The pictures were pretty spectacular and the overall time there was great. We had perfect weather. - Ending with a riverboat was great. We had a free drink and awesome night views of the bridge, opera house, etc. - Schedule was very well done and gave the right amount of time at each place. Cons: - You are on a schedule so if you want to spend more time in certain places, you can't. This isn't a con for me but it's worth noting. - Hotel pickups are nice but if you are the first pick up, you might be on the bus for 30-60 minutes before you actually take off. - You are on a big group tour with a bus that seats 32 people. Personally, I loved this aspect as a solo traveler but it's not a small group. Overall, I loved this trip and it was the best part of my trip to Sydney. I highly recommend if this fits your travel goals and you know the cons up front.

We booked this excursion at the recommendation of a few other's who had done it while visiting Sydney. I'm so glad we did! It was a great day outside of the city, and the experiences we had are something that will last with us for a while. From the wild life park and getting to see so many different animals to the views of the Blue Mountains, it was incredible. The only recommendation I do have is that if you are a talker and like to interact with the tour guide, book an early pick and be at the front of the bus. Ashleigh, our tour guide, was fantastic, however unable to interact with us as we were that last pick up location and therefore at the very back of the bus.

Love, love the Blue Mountains (make sure you asked why the color of the mountain is blue. Lots of history and amazing trails to and quietness with the fresh air and to inhale and expand your lungs with clean air. In addition to the beauty of the many trees and plants that have been around for many years. Love that red train/trolley ride wish it was a little steeper but it was all fun.

This was probably one of the best tours we went on in Australia. Probably because we had the best guide ever, Smokey! He was really funny, friendly, and really informative. He really knows a lot about everything! Our first stop for morning tea at the town of Leura was great. The food was great with tea/coffee. Smokey is very organized as well. Our meals went very smoothly. The rides are scenic world were really fun as well. The three sisters was breathtaking. Highly recommended for families.

This was a great trip. The only thing I would change is to spend more time in Scenic World. We only had enough time to get on the cable cars and then go to our bus. But other than that it was really fun and had a great bus driver and his assistant.
