What a fabulous day we had in the Blue mountains, we wish we had more time to explore. Beautiful sights and very helpful people. There is so much to see and do, if you are planning a trip make sure you arrive early and know where you want to go or even better, plan to stay overnight and make the most of the area. We will definately be returning.

It was smooth from hopping on to hop off. We were at peace of mind that we would not need to stand at queue for tickets. It was a rush being on Sunday and long weekend. We wish we could have been earlier there.

Our hop on hop off experience was wonderful. The bus was always on time. It was a very wet and gloomy day, so we couldn't see much of the sites, however our driver Angus was so entertaining that we didn't feel the effects of the gloomy day. Angus made the tour very enjoyable. He happily answered our questions and made us feel so welcome.

All good. But I'd say, you won't make it full if you have only one day. I'd suggest this could be notified when seeing the tickets.
