After the first successful voyage with the new Blue Bus coach in August, the local tour company has a few new surprises in store.
Next month, Blue Bus owners Geoff and Sandra Jacob have planned a Sydney tour for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo extravaganza.
And an amazing Relax and Rejuvenate Artesian Spa Moree Stayput is planned for next year.
The tattoo will be the largest ever staged featuring over 1500 of the world's finest pipers, drummers, dancers and performers.
"It will be an unforgettable experience of military music, tradition and theatrical entertainment," said Geoff.
The later tour to Moree allows visitors the opportunity to soak in the amazing hot artesian springs which are good for health problems and relieving rheumatic and other muscular complaints, or normal aches and pains.
The first Blue Bus tour in the new coach to Lightning Ridge was a huge success and Geoff was delighted to have his father and parents-in-law along for the ride.
The highlights included a sunset cruise on the Balonne River at St George and the fascinating and quirky attractions of Lightning Ridge.
"We understand that people want value for money and also the best value for their time whilst on a trip," Geoff said. "People also want to travel in comfort and we have designed our coach for luxury touring with extra wide comfy seats and ample legroom."
Geoff loves to travel and is passionate about showing people the real Australia.
Being a coach driver is not just a job, it is his vocation. He has more than 30 years of experience and with skills as a diesel mechanic, tour guests are in safe hands.
Geoff remains calm and in control of the tour and will make any necessary adjustments to allow passengers the best possible experience.
Blue Bus itineraries are designed to allow sufficient time to enjoy each destination rather than being hurried to the next attraction.

"We don't have overly long days - we allow time for a delicious breakfast before setting out and we arrive in plenty of time to allow passengers to settle into their rooms and freshen up before dinner."
Traditional tours such as the 13 day Stockmen and Swagmen trip to outback Queensland are perfect for passengers who love to see and do as much as they can while on the move.
"These offer the opportunity to see and experience a range of sightseeing and attractions on an extended tour," said Geoff. "We also have some shorter tours that are 'stayput' style."
The Jacobs have been living in the Redlands for the past 18 years.
"We are locals and being Redlands based, our tours start and end in the Redlands and we do local pickups."
