I went on a Blue Mountains tour with Happy Coach Tours today, and it was excellent…read more It's a small bus - 21 passengers plus the driver/guide - and it felt like a small group, like a personalized tour. Our guide, Jimi, was fantastic. He was friendly and cheerful the whole day. Great energy. They picked us up on time from a variety of locations in the city, and then we drove out to Blue Mountains National Park (air-conditioned bus, bonus!). We did a great hike around Wentworth Falls. Jimi's stories and jokes were hilarious, and he knows quite a bit about the local wildlife. We tried to go to a spot to see wild kangaroos, but recent flooding means the road was closed, so no luck there. Next we went to a picnic spot for lunch (included in the tour, one of the selling points for me), and then over to Katoomba falls and the Three Sisters. Another great hike. After this, we went a little off the main road to a lookout over the opposite side of Jamison Valley and the Three Sisters, an excellent view and no other tour groups were there. We were back in the city just after 5:30 as promised. This was a great tour by a superb tour guide, and very good value in my humble opinion at $70 for a full day of activities and lunch included.

After exhaustive research on which tour to take to the Blue Mountains, we decided on The Happy…read moreCoach. It was perfect for us! The bus is small and air conditioned (a real plus there), and our fearless leader Rod was interesting, knowledgeable and funny. He lived in the Blue Mountains until he was of high school age, so he's very familiar with the area. Rod explained all about what we were seeing, and gave us insights into the Australian culture. We hiked to Wentworth Falls and saw spectacular views, including wild cockatoos. The hike is not at all difficult for anyone who's in fairly decent shape, It is about an hour and includes some ups and downs and stairs, but I'm 66 and my boyfriend is 75 and it was no problem for us. Then we had a bushwalk to Kings Tableland Lookout, which was very impressive indeed (no other coaches there), and then we enjoyed a simple, nourishing lunch in another beautiful spot before going to see the Three Sisters. Then we headed for home. Rod not only navigated the trails beautifully, but navigated us through Sydney traffic just as well. We had a wonderful time and recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see The Blue Mountains in all their natural splendor, do something other than winetasting, shopping, and cuddling native animals held in captivity. I can never recommend that! It's a long day, and the drive to the Blue Mountains takes about two hours - but it's well worth the trip!

What an amazing tour. We had so much fun on our private tour with Matt. We are big animal and…read morenature lovers and we love to learn, so this was perfect. Matt had found so many hidden gems to see from local plants, birds, batts and reptiles, to experiences with Koalas, meerkats, and emus. The day never felt rushed, but we got to see all the animals and have the experiences we dreamed of. Matt is a stellar driver so we felt safe at all times, he's super collaborative on how to spend the time, and thoughtful beyond expectation to ensure we had great places to eat even with 2 vegans and 1 celiac. And to top it off, he's the kind of guy you can just relax with, get to know each other, and laugh a lot. It was an amazing day. Highly recommend. And he's an amazing photographer who spent the day taking pictures so we could just enjoy the time without the hassle of grabbing the phone.

If I could give it 6 stars I would. We booked the tour to…read moresee the Blue Mountains through the Viator app. It was super easy and straightforward. The app immediately sent us two vouchers annd confirmation of our bookings. The tour started at 7:50 am and we took a ferry back and arrived at Circular Quay in the city by 5:45 pm. More about the ferry ride back later. The tour included: 1. Three Sisters Lookout Point 2.Tram and cable rides at Scenic World and a short hike on the Scenic Walkway 3.Lunch at Loaves and Dishes Cafe 4.Entrance into Featherdale Wildlife Refuge. On the day of the tour, the bus picked us up at our hotel the Hilton Sydney. They make a number of pick ups from other hotels. If your hotel is not on the list then you have to meet them at one of the designated hotels. A tour coordinator approached us to get our names. She checked us in on her list and gave us an envelope with tickets for the forthcoming destinations. The bus was a big comfortable climate control vehicle. Our driver/historian/entertainer was magnificent !! He only mentioned his name once at the beginning of the tour and I didn't catch it. In any case, he was terrifically knowledgable about the history of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. He was funny and kept us entertained throughout the whole day. In addition, he clearly instructed us on how to navigate through the different destinations with keen details. His instructions were extremely spot on and helpful. There was a lot of time designated for each destination. We never felt rushed. i On the way back many people opted to book a ferry ride back on the river cruise. We didn't buy that option but the bus driver told us that we still could pay for the ferry ride at the dock. We chose to do that thinking that the bus would run into Sydney rush hour traffic. I highly recommend that you take the ferry ride option. It was a beautiful, peaceful ride back to the city center and only took 30 minutes. We're not sure how long the bus took but surely it wasn't as scenic. In addition, the b So to get on the ferry, we had to purchase tickets. At the dock, there was a vending like machine where you can buy a ticket to get on the ferry. It was $8.50 AUD/person. The ferry made a few stops along the way to pick up other passengers. We thoroughly enjoyed every facet of the tour. It takes you to gorgeous areas of our Sydney trip that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to see on our own. The operators were extremely professional and well informed. It was worth every penny of the approximately $98/person for two people. Viator had a special 10% discount if we purchased on the mobile app. Also follow my food adventure on IG @tazebudshawaii Happy Travels !
