5.00I had a wonderful tour and travel experience in Sydney! 🌏✨ Everything was very well organized, smooth, and comfortable from start to finish. The guides were friendly, professional, and explained each place clearly, which made the trip more enjoyable and stress-free. We visited beautiful locations and had enough time to explore and take photos 📸. The transport was clean and on time, and the overall service was excellent. It was a memorable experience for me and my family.
Brilliant trip with great driver and guide.

5.00Fabulous combination adventure for a day in Sydney - starting off at the Zoo (before it’s even open to the public!) is great, Lurnea is a perfect lunch spot, the blue mountains and array of stops to view them are incredible, finishing off on the iconic harbour. Only advice would be to not pre purchase zoo tix like we did through the zoo website, as the tour guide gets 1/2 price tickets upon arrival.
Excellent trip

5.00We truly enjoyed our tour of blue mountains. Visit to the zoo was perfect for my group parents (68yrs old) and kids (teenagers), the waterfall hikes were beautiful and the overlooks amazing. Les was our tour guide with oz tours thru Viator and we highly recommend them.

Real value for money

5.00Awesome value for money day tour. We bought our tickets off a coupon website, so half price. Our tour guide was very knowlegable and accomodating to all passengers. Passengers were not pressured into purchasing additional packages like zoo or scenic world tickets but this trip would be a bit boring if you dont do these...the cruise to circular quay warf at the end was a great way to end the day.
Bruce made the day!
