5.00It was a long day but really amazing views with an informative tour guide. I definitely recommend if you want to see scenic views of the Blue Mountains!
Great trip into the Blue mountains, guide commentary was a 10/10

5.00Was privileged to have a great day of clear weather to visit the blue mountains, while many of the regular areas to visit were closed for renovations, our guide, Les, did a fantastic job at giving the group an very comprehensive and knowledgeable breakdown of both the history of Australia/ the region, as well as the local biology. Cracked some great jokes and helped make the whole experience flow really nicely, giving the group enough time to realistically enjoy all of the viewing areas. Do not under any circumstances skip the scenic world section of the tour, this was an integral part of the experience, whilst the zoo could be realistically skipped if you don’t want to see the animals and don’t mind waiting outside for 90 minutes.
Perfect day trip from Sydney

5.00This 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!!

5.00Les 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
An exciting and well-organized tour.

4.00It was a very exciting and well-organized tour! Our guide Les had immense knowledge and conveyed it with a lot of humor and fun! It was great that some activities could be explored independently, such as the zoo. All in all, we can highly recommend this tour.
Worth the experience
