What you'll see and do
Board the restored Zig Zag Railway at Clarence. The line opened in 1869 and switchbacked trains down the western escarpment through hand-cut sandstone cuttings until it was bypassed in 1910. Volunteers spent decades bringing it back, and steam returned to the rails in 2023. You ride it for around 45 minutes through the mountain valleys, at the pace it was built for. Your heritage train ticket is included in the tour price.
60 minutes here · Admission included
Leura
An hour in Leura, a village of hedged gardens, bookshops, galleries and cafes strung along one tree-lined street. This is your lunch break, long enough to eat somewhere you picked yourself rather than somewhere you were delivered to. Lunch is at your own expense.
60 minutes here
Echo Point Lookout (Three Sisters)
Echo Point in the afternoon, once the morning coaches have moved through. Time at the lookout for the Three Sisters and the view across the Jamison Valley, with your guide on the geology of the escarpment and the Aboriginal stories attached to it.
40 minutes here
Blue Mountains National Park
The whole afternoon belongs to the escarpment. While most day tours are already driving home, you have close to two hours on the walking trails below Echo Point in the World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park, where the crowds thin out and it is sandstone, gum trees and a very long view. The walk follows a trail with steps and uneven ground and is entirely optional - if you would rather not walk, the lookouts are yours instead.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Mountains Mercedes Sprinter Tour Steam Train and 3 Sisters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
