Perfect day trip from Sydney

This is a full day and a great value. My tour had 25 people on it, which was not too many. Our guide, Bruce, was engaging and informative. The day ran like a well oiled machine with enough time at each spot. The zoo is good for photos, and getting in before opening was great. The Blue Mountains are a bucket-list destination Scenic World is the best introduction to them. The photo stops were unhurried and gorgeous, and the Paramatta ferry home was the icing on the cake. This was one of life's better days. A must-do while in Sydney.
Les is the best!!

Les was absolutely incredible. He did everything he could to make sure we had the best experience. Making sure we were the first to be at the zoo to ensure we had first dibs with all the experiences. All the way to making sure we had the best views and information when we arrived to Blue Mountain
Worth the experience

Bruce was a very knowledgeable tour guide, he gave plenty of information and history of the lay of the land, I remember his stories and explained in a way that was understandable. I could have skipped the zoo, I’m not much of a zoo person. If you like zoos then you would enjoy it, scenic world wAS THE BEST PART! A must while in Sydney . The reason for low stars is that , it wasn’t the most exciting tour I’ve ever been on. Could have been the group. It’s a very long day.

My husband and I had a great experience on the full day tour including the Sydney Zoo and Blue Mountains. Our driver cum guide, Bruce, was amazing with lots of valuable information about everything from the history of Australian settlers to the biodiversity of Blue mountains. He made a big difference to the whole experience and we could not be happier. The whole trip was well organised and covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed. Highly recommend.
Excellent

My advice is to check the forecast before booking. Les made the experience enjoyable with his great sense of humour, encyclopedic knowledge and superlative raconteuring. The weather by contrast was absolute rubbish with clouds completely obscuring our view. Nobody is liable. Just consult the forecast prior to booking.
Enjoyable day outing.
