5.00We had an amazing day yesterday with our tour guide Bruce, he was very attentive and knowledgeable which made the day super easy and comfortable - with a great playlist for the day!! We loved getting early access to Sydney Zoo and enjoyed the Scenic World & blue mountains viewpoints. We even managed to get an earlier ferry home too which was great. Thanks so much!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pricing caution.

3.00Tour price should be adjusted to include admissions to zoo and scenic cable cars. It feels like a bait and switch with additional $90 per person for complete tour experience. Group was larger than expected and bus seating narrow. Scenic cable cars and trams were crammed with people, allowing limited viewing unless fortunate few to be by windows. Too many people for a nature experience.
Excellent day trip to Blue Mountains

5.00We enjoyed this tour. Lez was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Please change the pricing structure for this tour to make it all inclusive. Although you can book this tour without the Sydney Zoo and Scenic World, they are integral parts of the tour so should be included in the price.

5.00We were lucky to have Bruce as our guide and driver. It was a fantastic tour. We learned so much about the history of Sydney and the Blue Mountains, and he related it in bite sized chunks during the day.

5.00We had a great tour, bruce was our tour guide lovely dude btw. he really showed of his lack of knowledge about the surroundings and the history about it all. Even though we were unlucky that it had rained and completely foggy, he managed to change up the scheduele so we still got to see some of the mountains. He was always down for chat, helping out, and answer quesitions. We had an overall wonderful time. Best regards The 4 danes. :)
