How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
We used the bus for a day and a half. Amy at the desk was very helpful about which parts of the mountains were open, and the drivers do their own commentary rather than a recording, so they tailor tips to the time of day. Angus finished our last ride with Waltzing Matilda.
Our two days on the red bus around Katoomba were made by Aimee at the station office, who was a delight and even helped when a bug got in my eye, and driver Bill, whose commentary was superb.
My partner Tim and I spent two days around Katoomba, and the Explorer pass was our best decision. The commentary was informative and witty, we could see each sight at our own pace, and the drivers' tips made our stay. Thanks to Angus, David and Tim.
We're an older couple, partly limited in walking, and rode the loop of 23 stops over two days, getting off at lookouts that need little walking but give view after view. The booklet with each ticket is excellent, with walks and places to see. After a stop or two you know the driver and passengers like a little community.
