Blue Mountains - Sydeny Australia

My husband and I will be in Sydney, Australia in February 2024.

We're interested in visiting the major sites in the Blue Mountains.

I would appreciate any recommendations of a company or individual that could take us to this area for one or two days.

I know I can just book something through Viator and will do that if necessary.

We will not have a car. I know we could take a train from city to the mountains, but to see the sites we need a car.

Thanks in advance.

Also look at companies that will do a day tour picking you up from Katoomba or Leura, rather than one that departs from Sydney. The train trip is easy and inexpensive so you can save money doing that part yourself. Tour companies use buses on this section and if you take the bus all you will see is the highway.

If you plan to do some walking (and you should as it's beautiful) you will need good shoes (trainers at a minimum), sun protection (hat and long sleeved shirt) and water. February is also bushfire season. If there is a hint of a fire don't go off walking without checking that it is safe to do so.

Katoomba is the main town but another lovely place to stay is Leura.

Thanks everyone for the information.

We have decided to take the train from Sydney and spend the night.
