Overall, we enjoyed this well-organized small group tour however would like to highlight a few observations in case other travellers may find them informative in deciding if they want to top up (AUD241 for 2 adults and 1 child): 1) sydney zoo - apart from the kangaroos and koalas there was really nothing much to see as the zoo is still not fully constructed. you don’t get to feed kangaroos by the way, it’s a different tour that gets to do that. We topped up AUD20 for a Koala photo but the poor fellow was sleeping throughout, not sure if it was worth it. 2) scenic world - not sure the additional $$ was worth it, given 1-2min cable car ride and a tram ride that goes back up. View wise it was a bit strange, and part of me wonders if we were better off changing the sequence: starting with the tram ride going down and then cable car, but that’s not the itinerary. The views from the lookouts were the better experience if I’m honest.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this trip with this company.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this trip with this company.Frankly speaking, I really enjoyed this trip with this company. It gave me the experience to choose a good company like this one, and even if it wasn't expensive, I hope to repeat this experience again. The employees are very polite and respectful.

Great day trip. We picked this one as it took us to Scenic World which meant that my mother could come even though her mobility isn’t brilliant. You got the option to go into the zoo and Scenic World but if you didn’t want to go the guide had alternative options

Started the day at Sydney Zoo, thoroughly enjoyed it there it was a small zoo, but had a great variety, was split into sections Australia, Africa and Asia specific to animals from that continent. Kangaroos can roam freely and there was some koalas there too which I was keen to see. Next went for a hike to see the waterfall and the blue mountains, unfortunately the weather wasn't good and it was very foggy that day but from what I could see it looked amazing. After that had lunch went to a lovely cafe called Leura Cafe I think, and I had a kangaroo burger there and some raisin toast which tasted amazing. The next part was going on the sky ride and the reverse train to see the three sisters and waterfalls again was very foggy but sometimes the fog cleared a little. Better to pick a day with better weather. To end the day went on a boat along the Paramatta River, and enjoyed the sights at night, seeing the opera house and harbour bridge along the way. Oz Trails are very good.
