Travel Review: Luxury Vacation in Australia, Sydney, Tasmania, Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling & Scuba Diving, Blue Mountains Tour

I think I would skip the blue mountains. They were lovely but a bit touristy and not worth the drive. It looked like you could get there by train, maybe that would have been a better option, although we would need to find a place to hold most of the luggage. There were a few hotels where the full address was not noted on the itinerary, for example the hotel in Sydney. That made it more challenging for the GPS or cab driver. When vouchers were required the address was provided.

TRAVEL COMPANY COMMENTS:

Thanks for the great review and the suggestion about hotel addresses.  I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before and we’re in the process now of updating the database so that in the future hotel addresses will show up on the itinerary as the phone number does now. 

I agree with you on the Blue Mountain day tours.  It’s a lot of driving for what you see.  The train is mostly used by commuters and doesn’t really work for us as the Sydney station is miles from downtown.  It would be great if they had an express service from downtown though.  Then those Blue Mountain day trips would be a lot better.
