After the wedding, I had 6 different groups of guests go out of their way to let me know how incredibly professional and friendly the driver Tim was on the day. They commended him on how cautiously he drove and that they felt totally safe in his hands. I wanted to express how grateful we are that the driver made our guests feel totally safe.
A big thank you again to Fantastic Aussie Tours for making the whole process so seamless, easy and safe for us and our guests :)



The Pick-up in Katoomba was on time and the coach clean and very comfortable and nicely air conditioned. The driver (Tony) provided an informative commentary and kept us enlightened and informed throughout the trip. It is a relaxed and interesting 1 hour 45 minutes trip, leaving plenty of time to spend in the Gardens. Highly recommend for an educational, relaxing tour with a difference.
