The Scenic rides and walks are awesome, not really far to walk from each other. I would go back again to take my friends next time.

A great day out in the Blue Mountains using Head Out to book the Hop on Hop Off Bus and Scenic World passes. We trained out to Katoomba from Sydney City and everything ran smoothly to enjoy a memorable day out visiting a number of the tracks and viewing areas. Highly recommend.

Great organisation buses ran to time. Stunning views and Scenic world an amazing experience However what made the trip standout were the staff who were friendly welcoming and professional. Big shout out to Angus the hop on off bus driver. He was hilarious and had the bus singing im a little teapot ! 100% recommend this.
