Ultimate All Inclusive Blue Mountains With Scenic World Tour

Tour had good intentions, but bus broke down and we had to wait about 1hr 10 min for a new boss….time we then lost for seeing Cahill lookout as well as shorter time at zoo. Driver also was not counting people and left one stop without someone. He did later retrieve her. Lunch was “okay”. Unfortunately, day could not extend at all to see what we missed because of bus breaking down since people had other evening commitments.

A very good tour, although it seemed rushed at times. Our guide Michelle was great and very knowledgeable about sharing the history of Australia and The Blue Mountains. My only complaint would be the tour buses are small and don’t offer leg room if you’re over 6 feet tall.

The tour was well planned and executed. Our guide Adrian was outstanding and took care of all details. A must if you want to visit the area in a short period of time. You get to explore all options at the Blue Mountains and the zoo with a chance to ride back on the ferry. Would love to have a little more time at the zoo but it closes at 4 Pm

It was good all admission fees were covered, and very knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommend this tour

Excellent tour and well informed guide. Lunch was delicious and the weather was great. Well done.

We had a wonderful time at Blue Mountains today. The scenery was beautiful, our guide, Ronnie, made it truly unforgettable. She was entertaining, and went above and beyond for everyone. I highly recommend booking a tour with for our future trip.

We are a family of five who joined the Ultimate Blue Mountain Day Tour by Wine Hop and Coastal Tours Pty Ltd, booked through Klook, on May 29, 2026. We were excited and full of enthusiasm for this adventure, but unfortunately, the experience started off poorly. The operator instructed us to be at the pickup point — 6:40 AM outside Hilton Sydney, 255 Pitt Street entrance — and emphasized that “this is a public tour, the bus cannot wait, so please ensure you are at your pickup location 5 minutes prior to departure.” We arrived promptly at 6:30 AM, yet the bus did not arrive until 7:00 AM. During that half-hour wait, we were left anxious, wondering if we were at the wrong location or if the tour had been canceled, as there was no notification about the delay. When we were finally picked up, I raised the issue with our guide and driver, “RONNIE”. She explained that she had a different timetable than the one sent to us by the operator, but her response came across as irritated rather than understanding. This created tension right from the start. Still, we decided to move on, lift our spirits, and enjoy the day. Ronnie was knowledgeable and drove safely, but her guiding style left us uneasy. She often rushed us, especially at Scenic World, which made the experience feel more like a race than a leisurely tour. The constant pressure detracted from our enjoyment and created a lingering sense of discomfort throughout the day. That said, the weather was on our side — sunny, clear skies, and pleasantly cool. The sights were undeniably beautiful: Echo Point Lookout was breathtaking, Katoomba Cascades was stunning, Scenic World had great potential if it weren’t rushed, lunch in Leura was enjoyable (and came with a surprise free drink), the town of Leura was cozy and charming, Cahill’s Lookout was impressive, Sydney Zoo was good, and the ferry ride back to Sydney was decent. We share this not out of spite, but as an honest account of our experience. In summary, the tour could have been far better. The operator should be more professional in setting pickup times and provide real-time updates to guests. Ronnie, while competent, could benefit from being more humble and making guests feel welcome rather than hurried. Above all, a tour should be enjoyable, not feel like a chore or a race. Compared to another Blue Mountain tour we took two years ago with a different company, this one fell short in terms of enjoyment, satisfaction, guide quality, and overall service. We sincerely hope the company can improve in the future.

Our guide Ronnie was fantastic. Quite informative and kept the tour on schedule. Enjoyed all the activities.

The tour was phenomenal. If you can get the tour guide Ronnie it will be a blast. She added some great fun and knowledge along the way. Even though the weather was not great she kept us informed and helped us enjoy everything. The Blue Mountain area is gorgeous, the Zoo was great, and the ferry ride was a great way to end the day. We booked the lunch with the tour and the small place we ate at, named Freudian Sip was great. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Adrien was a great guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable. The places we stopped at gave us a taste of the locations. We felt a bit rushed but understand there are only so many hours in the day.

Our driver/guide was great! Informative, on schedule at all stops, took care of everything. Wonderful views of the 3 Sisters. Scenic World had the 3 different “rides” making the trip into and out of the rain forest a breeze. Lunch stop was great. Picture with a Koala at the zoo was fun. Can’t recommend Peter and this tour enough.

This was a fantastic tour. Pat, our guide, was knowledgeable and extremely engaging. This tour is a great way to see the Blue Mountains. I highly recommend!

Absolutely a wonderful time. Perfect mix of so many things when you don’t have a lot of extra time! My tour guide was wonderful, Kris. So knowledgeable kept everybody together perfect amount of people very small and tailored perfectly thank you.

Great tour! Steve was an outstanding tour guide and driver! He fully explained everything and he was quite funny! Very knowledgeable and was great with the group.

The Blue Mountain trip was amazing!! Our tour guide David was excellent. So 5stars for that!! ***BUT*** WineHopTours admin was just difficult. I had my pick up confirmed in Bondi on booking. The trip was paid for they just needed to turn up as agreed. I’d been on a cruise without access to the internet. On land I was struggling with my emails and so I called the telephone number provided and they just don’t answer ever, you just get a message, saying to email them. In all of this an email went into my junk at 4:16pm the day before the trip, which I missed saying pick up was about a 20minute drive from the original agreed one. On the day of the trip the driver called me to say I wasn’t at the pick up. The driver told us his next stop and we got an uber to him. It was all stressful. None of this needed to happen if they had just answered their phone. Others in the trip were messed about in a similar way with last minute pick up changes. I don’t think they ever had any intention of picking us up at our Hotel in Bondi, even though I have my printed off confirmation of this. It’s so difficult as an international traveller when last minute changes happen. I’d have much preferred them to say a pick up spot on booking that they will always go to, so there are no last minute changes.

We had a great day out, Pat, our guide, was really friendly and informative. It felt really personal being a small tour. Would definitely recommend the trip. Thank you.

Very nice wellorganized tour with a fantastic guide Adrian 🙂

Great adventure! Our guide, Steve, made the day even better. He was so informative and entertaining! The zoo was also a nice surprise. Highly recommend.

Easy and prompt pick up, Very friendly and knowledgable staff, great experiences and views! Enjoyed the full tour !

My husband and I along with our friends did the Ultimate Blue Mountain Tour out of Sydney with Wine Hop & Coastal Tour on 08Mar. It was an awesome tour even though the weather was not cooperating and it was very foggy and misty and we were unable to get a clear view of the Three Sisters. Our Tour Guide/Driver Chris was excellent, very personable, friendly and very knowledgeable, and a great navigator despite the foggy weather. He tried very hard to make the tour as memorable as possible. The stop at the Sydney Zoo was quite enjoyable and the included Cafe lunch was very good. I give this tour top marks and we would highly recommend.

Beautiful day - we were lucky that the rain had stopped and the fog lifted. The rides were great. Ending the day at zoo was fun especially the Koalas' and Tasmanian devil!

Great day out lots of places to see lots of experiences to have nice lunch great visit to Sydney Zoo topped off with a lovely boat ride to the keys.what made the day extra special was our outstanding guide Chris over and above everything he made the day extra special. Thanks Chris.

Piotr was a wonderful guide and gave great information for the day. Only suggestion would be same for any other tour is develop an incentive for people to be on time and/or penalty. No matter what tour it is or the quality of the tour guide, people are disrespectful of the time of others. Buying a beer for the group or denying a repayment of a deposit- may be potential options to give encouragement to being timely. The vegetarian lunch was delicious!

The day was jam-packed, started with the pickup right outside a hotel and it was non-stop from there. And our tour guide/bus driver/local expert/comedian Piotr was the cherry on top.

From the timely pickup, excellent explanations, multiple bathroom stops, all we wanted to see at Blue Mountains and more, stop at the zoo and rode on all types of fabulous transport vehicles ending with a spectacular ferry ride with amazing views of the Opera House and Bridge, our guide Piotr made the experience PERFECT, thanks.

I signed up for a 15 person small group tour and was put with a 24 person packed really uncomfortable bus. Because we were 2nd to the last stop we were in the back with our feet over the wheel well and our friends were behind us in seats that were lower so you really couldn't see much. Our driver was wonderful and we ended up mostly enjoying the tour although it rained most of the day and we couldn't see the blue mountains or anything else. That was no ones fault and we made the best of it. The people on the tour were really nice and we enjoyed that. I would like to know what happened the “small group tour” that we signed up for?????

Enjoyed a fun-filled day to the Blue Mountains, including the Sydney Zoo and ferry ride on the Sydney harbour. Our guide Adrian was a good host. Very helpful and informative.

We were looking for a tour that covered in our opinion "all the bases". We found that in this tour. It's a long day with lots of steps but having lunch included really broke things up nicely. Adrian was a fun and very knowledgeable tour guide. We had a lot of fun with him. Our visit to the zoo could have been a little longer, but a lot of folks in our group were pooped by then and were ready to hit the ferry for our last leg into Sydney harbor. All in all, a great day and highly recommend it.

It’s quite the adventure ,multiple things to do and see. Lots of walking. Lots of scenery. Waterfalls , nature, stops to get out and look around , offers a great lunch. My tour guide Chris was excellent. Love the zoo . It’s a must do excursion.

Visited the Sydney Area and chose this trip to see more of the area and the Blue Mountains. Drive was newer and open about it. Knew lots about the area and ensured we saw it all and kept our schedule. Chose the trip that included lunch. Was at the Lily Pad and was fantastic. Enjoyed all the stops and made us want to plan another trip.

Our guide Adrian was terrific: Articulate, knowledgable,, knew thow to avoid long lines at the many crowded atractions. He was courteous and professional. He made the day special. Five stars for him. However, the tour company we were assigned by Viator, Wine Hop was disorganized, unavailable and changed our pickup from our hotel to another one 20 minutes walkinfg duistance when we were flying in from the US, so we did not know. The app still said Four Seasons for pickup. Stressful nightmare. At 6:25 AM, we called tour operator and , a recording stated to email them. Viator chat box, was useless. There were several other tour companies(Viator) going to the same tour there, but we were not on any of their lists. Eventually, with their help, we saw that we were supposed to be at another hotel at 645 am but it was 640, so we took a cab to get there and had to pay $50 because before 6am that is what they cost in Sydney. When we arrived, we met Adrian, and he saw that we were on the list, but for another bus. He left and when no other bus picked us up came back for the 9 of us waiting 25 minutes later ay 715am. He told us the other bis broke down. However the stress and incovenience of not knowing what was going on and Noone available to explain is inexcusable. For this reason I can not recommend this tour company. Had I known we were not going to be picked up at our listed hotel, I would have chosen another company. The tour itself was excellent, but the prepaid lunch was not good nor worth the extra money. We were the only ones on the bus with the prepaid lunch. We had a steak on focacia tar was tough, fatty and greasy. Barely edible. The weather was cloudy most of the day, with a bit of light rain. However the Blue mountains tour, train ride, sky ride, and scenery, were great. Be prepared to walk up and down at least 200 steps at some of the viewpoints. The Sydney Zoo, and ferry ride back were all great. I would do it again, but with a different tour company.

I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Karen, was wonderful and made the most of our limited time. Ending the tour with the ferry ride into the Sydney harbor was the perfect ending.

We had a wonderful day trip to the Blue Mountains with 20 guests aboard the bus. Ronnie was our exceptional driver, informed guide, wise knowledge-keeper and aware environmentalist. Her energetic, humourous and friendly talks during the whole day made it pleasurable while we experienced the delightful scenery and fun events of the day trip. Ronnie, you’re good. Thank you.

A comprehensive tour with an excellent guide and commentary which included all entrance fees and lunch. Would highly recommend.

Great all day trip. We were fortunate that the weather was perfect that day. Our driver/guide Chris was fantastic. He was very informative and did a great job of keeping everyone on schedule. The scenic world and waterfalls portion in Katoomba was terrific. I would highly recommend this booking.

This tour was amazing! The views, the waterfalls, the railway was great . Wish we could have gone on the railways more than once. The views of Blue Mountain was just beautiful. The waterfalls was great. Our tour guide was awesome and very informative. We loved being able to take a pic with the Koala but it was too hot to walk around the Sydney Zoo. Would do this tour again.

Excellent day out, plenty of things to see, scenic world was good, the zoo was too and to finish off a great ferry ride going under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Chris our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and made it a memorable day

Wine Hop tour guide Karen was an incredible guide. She skillfully navigated our bus through city traffic as well as mountain roads. She was incredibly well read as she was a fount of information on history, flora & fauna, & geological history. Karin took very good care of us & answered any questions we had. An amazing tour!!!

We had a great trip and Pat our guide was excellent. He spoke very clear and didn’t rush. Always willing to help when it was needed. The views and rides were fantastic.

Excellent experience. We got to see a LOT of Sydney (and countryside) in one day. Our guide (Pat) was amazing. He led a group of us through the action packed day during a very busy time period around Christmas / New Years. The guide was knowledgeable and stayed very calm with how busy all of our stops were with other tourists. The itinerary the guide company put together really allows you to see the best of Australia in one full day at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend this excursion.

Our tour guide Adrian was upbeat and knowledgeable. He offered to take photos of tour participants at tour stops and provided great recommendations for lunch spots. We really enjoyed the Zoo!

A brilliant day exploring the blue mountains and scenic world was incredible. Our guide Peter was so knowledgeable and made our experience one we will never forget. You get to feed the kangaroo at the zoo and have photo taken with koalas. The zoo has some lovely animals.

Appreciated phone call to confirm pick up Very well planned - knowledgeable guide easy access on and off plane,with good facilities airside.

Jacob was our driver and he did an awesome job getting us everywhere we needed to be. Besides so many amazing views in the blue Mountains the zoo was quick, but we were able to see all the animals. Great trip.

My daughter and I had the most amazing experience on our tour with our wonderful guide, Karen. I have to admit, we didn't sleep well the night before and I was finding it extremely hard to stay awake as we drove up to the Blue Mountains. My daughter was laughing as my eyes were rolling around in my head. But then we arrived!!!! And all thoughts of tiredness left me. It's no point even trying to describe such a beautiful wonder of Australia. It needs to be seen! All our stops in the Blue Mountains were gorgeous and we loved our experience at Scenic World. Following a lovely lunch we then headed back down the mountains at around 1pm. I'm actually a bit stunned by the review given by "FarAway817437". My daughter and I laughed at their comment that a third of the tour was spent in the zoo. Obviously they are not very good at maths! LOL. We were picked up just before 7am and obviously there is some distance to cover to get to different locations. The portion of the tour revolving around the mountains was easily 6 hours (including travel time). We were only at the zoo for 90 minutes and honestly we could have happily explored even more. It's so sad that this reviewer can't appreciate feeding the kangaroos and having a photo with our gorgeous koalas :-( My highlight, amongst many, was also capturing a stunning photo of a tiger. So apparently the above reviewer spent over 3+ hours at the zoo, because our tour took nearly 11 hours to complete :-O After the zoo we jumped on a ferry to travel down Parramatta River back to Circular Quay. It was a fantastic experience and I really want to come back with the whole family to explore this part of our world even further. Thank you so much to Karen for a wonderful day out and sharing all your wonderful knowledge and stories. Samantha & Alanah

Great, fun-packed day! Pick up was straight forward. Ronnie provided lots of information, as we drove around the city picking up other passengers. A drive to the Blue Mountains - starting at a view point, which provided a view of low cloud - giving the mountains a fantastic atmosphere. On to the next stop, which provided a view of the three sisters. The cloud had lifted and we were able to see across the valley. We went on to Scenic World - a cable car journey across the valley. On to another, followed by a walk through the rainforest and past the old coal mine. This visit ended with a ride on the steepest train - amazing! Then for lunch, which was in a little cafe in Leura. Really tasty food! After this, we went on to Sydney Zoo. We were able to feed kangaroos and have a photo taken with a koala. We also had some free time in the zoo. To end our amazing day, we caught a ferry to Circular Quay - a trip that took us under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We got back to our start point eleven hours after we left - buzzing from such a great day! Thanks to Ronnie for a fabulous day!

Truly unforgettable experience led by Karolina who was a great guide throughout the day. From the scenic views of the Blue Mountains to getting close to the animals in Sydney zoo, the day provided lasting memories of my time in Sydney.

Great tour - a full day, well timed and kept my 7 yo interested. We loved the free time at the zoo. Jakob was an exceptional tour guide and he enhanced the experience.

This trip was the best way to spend our last day in Australia. We got to see the beautiful views of the Blue Mountains, and saw it in full detail (as well as a nearby waterfall) during a gondola ride. The train ride was more of a roller coaster: it was breathtaking, yet thrilling. The zoo was full of unique animals. Some guests were even allowed to feed the kangaroos and take pictures with the koalas. The boat ride through the harbor was the best way to end the tour. There was a beautiful sunset background, as we toured around the waterway on the outskirts of the city. Our tour guide, Karen, is friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer any of your questions. Highly recommend this trip.
