5.00Really great tour with knowledgeable and personable guide. Loved getting into the zoo before opening hours and being the only ones there with the kangaroos and koalas. The sights were beautiful. The "cruise" was the ferry back to circ quay but otherwise just as advertised.

5.00We did the Blue Mountain Bus tour with Bruce. He was amazing and actually participated in the hike with us and telling the history of the area and how it came to be. We loved Bruce's knowledge and his humor.

5.00The tour started with a convenient pick up in a comfortable bus driven by our guide Bruce. He gave very detailed local information throughout out tour and looked after us
Les made this day one of the best in Sydney

5.00This was a long day but well worth every minute. Not a good choice for families with young children. The additional price for 2 adults going to zoo and the cable cars was less than $200 so it was a very reasonable tour. Les was the best tour guide we have ever experienced. Beyond his extensive knowledge of the country he has a wonderful sense of humor. His scientific knowledge of animals, plants and the environment was incredible. Highly recommend the tour to see some of the most breathtaking views this world has to offer.
The best tour ever,...
