A Must Do! 10/10

5.00Allow me to give you some advice….. Do the whole package. After you add up the regular price of the Zoo and Scenic World, the deal can’t be beat. Bruce made the day enjoyable and it was a great way of seeing the natural wonders of the Blue Mountains. Definitely a 10/10!
Great Day!

5.00Les is a great tour guide and this tour was actually my favorite tour in the five days I spent in Sydney. I enjoyed the stories that he told us and the educational information while we were at the blue mountains. I walk with a cane and I was so happy that I was able to do this tour without stressing my knee too much. Highly recommend!

5.00We had a great experience, eventhough it was a misty and a rainy day! Our tour guide Lez who had a good sense of humour and a sound knowledge of australian history and wildlife made the day extra special. He did everything possible for us to see all attractions with his sense and great predictability of minute changes of weather. Scenic world is very exciting! River cruise to end the day is rewarding. Highly appreciate the time management and guidance throughout the day! Bus is comfortable as well. My kids loved the whole day experience and will not forget the lovely jokes by Les!

4.00It was a very well organised tour and gave ample time to explore the places and spots. Our tour guide was very friendly and provided lots of of information about the places, history and significance of local culture. Must try especially Blue mountains. Zoo can be made optional.
Amazing tour, misleading ad

5.00The trip was amazing. Lez is an amazing tour guide. Although I was surprised I had to pay an extra $198 for the trip to the zoo and the cable cars. It was well worth it. This advertisement should be updated to what the price for this trip actually is. Also, the "River cruse, is just a city cat. Basically like paying for a bus fair which is werid that it's advertised to be a feature. But still this tour is definitely one of the best 👌
Great day trip with so much to see and no driving!

5.00Great day out for us. Being Aussies we enjoyed seeing things we hadn’t seen before. Les was a great guide, full of information and the odd ‘dad joke’. Our smaller bus made it feel like a family day out. Well worth it.
Great day out for all

5.00This was the perfect tour for Aussies and tourists alike. We fit so much into our day and didn’t have the driving and parking to worry about. Les was an amazing tour director/ driver, full of information and the odd ‘dad joke’. Being a smaller bus, you feel like you’re together for the day. So nice.
Les was very engaging...
