  We love Australia and have returned to see more, such a vast country and the people are so nice. Our last day in Sydney we did the Blue mountains with Dave again a private tour. We told him the places we went last year and so discovered other towns and viewpoints to give us a different perspective. He took us out to Govetts leap which was out of his way but was no trouble to Dave. A marvelous lunch in Katoomba and the ferry back to the city gave us another memorable visit. My wife and I highly recommend the company services they are so professional thank you so much Dave.

  Dave from Blue Ribbon tours was our guide- i call him “5 Star Dave” because he pretty much thought of everything and passionately discussed history, sight seeing, exploring, hiking and brought us to out of the way places, a great Katoomba restaurant- we had Ruebens - (yum) and a cinnamon roll for dessert. He’s been guiding most of his life and does it for fun - unlike many guides you may get that are newbies and haven’t yet polished the tour you’ll get. A very picturesque day thanks to 5 star Dave !

  We want to visit The Blue Mountains but didn’t want to join a group tour as we are a family of 5 with young kids . Went with The Blue Ribbons private tour just for our family . Picked us up at our hotel and did everything at our own pace . Our guide Dave is super friendly and knowledgeable about Blue Mountain. Brought us to a lovely place for lunch in Kotomba town . Highly recommended.

• Fantastic Day of Fun

  We had a lovely tour. We visited scenic stops including The Three Sisters. We saw Scenic World which is a must do in the Blue Mountains, especially when you have Ken’s commentary that gives you so much more insight. Ken is an excellent guide and is very knowledgeable on history of the sites, plants and trees (which I loved) plus he tells wonderfully funny jokes! He’ll even be your photographer and get those great shots you would miss on your own. This is THE tour of the Blue Mountains!

  Seeing Australia recently for the first time must sees included a Blue Mountain Tour. Our private guide Dave was so knowledgeable about local history, plants and people. Dave consistently and expertly moved us around the summer crowds and allowed us to appreciate the extreme beauty of the Blue Mountains. We peppered him the entire trip with questions on all thing Australia and we learned so much. His pride and love for the area is so evident and he does much to make sure we were able to see all the special and beautiful sights. You can't go wrong choosing Dave and Blue Ribbon Tours for your trip the the gorgeous Blue Mountains of Australia! PS - Dave even offered to send my hat home after I forgot it in his van. 5 Stars Plus!!

• Incredible way to see the Blue Mountains! 5 STAR!

  DAVE TAYLOR our guide was TERRIFIC! He is a native and has been doing tours his whole life. He knows all the tricks to avoid the crowds, was focused on getting us to all the sites and we crammed in SO MANY WONDERFUL things! Along the way while driving he teaches you about Australian history, music, and fauna/flora. We started at the Echo Point park where you can see The 3 Sisters which are 300 million year old stone formations and went on to take the tram in the photo (WOW!) and the steepest train for SPECTACULAR views of the Blue Mountains. We had a very special lunch at Yellow Deli where all food is grown and made by the team. We went to Featherdale animal wildlife experience and had the chance to pet a koala, feed wallaby’s and kangaroos, and watch/listen to birds: all of which were native ONLY to Australia. Dave is an encyclopedia of Australian information, teaching us about cricket, finding tea tree and eucalyptus to smell, explaining the aboriginal stories behind the names and places we visited (and more). We ended our trip at a ferry dock to take a 30 minute ride back to our hotel which was just superb. There is no way we could have ever done this on our own and to think we did it all in one day was even better because our time here was limited. It’s truly the best thing we did in the Sydney area. I just can’t recommend Dave Taylor any higher. He was a friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, professional who made our tour a truly exceptional experience. Thank you Dave and the Private Blue Mountains Tour company.

• A very enjoyable tour.

  Our 5th wedding anniversary was a great celebration with Dave and his private tour out to the Blue mountain during our Sydney stay. We got collected from our Hyatt hotel and it was a nice drive for 90 minutes to Katoomba. We saw the Sisters and some nice villages. The canyon was blue and we did some easy hikes with Dave explaining tres and nature. We loved this day.

  Darren was fantastic, he knew what he was talking about being from the Blue Mountains himsef and tailored our day so that we could fit as much in as possible. Excellent, excellent tour guide! The only negative was that the private car we were in for the day was really dirty. Thanks Darren for all you knowledge & help. Katie, Tom, Terry & Clara

  They are very expert in their tour. We went to the Blue mountains with Dave in his new SUV. He drove us from our Sydney hotel in Parramatta and back. He has detailed comments along the way and could answer all our questions. Being our own tour he designed the day into what we liked, avoiding crowds. It is very good way at a reasonable cost to get the most from a tour. Loved the mountains and particularly the Scenic train and the Laura village. It was a terrific day.
