5.00Basic Tour includes transportation and a guide. The zoo and Scenic World are pay as you go options. This is good because you can decide at yhe time. Prices are discounted and entrance is as a group. Our guide Bruce was excellent and provide lots of local information.
It was a great...

5.00It was a great experience, very well organised and greatly timed. But the best and the highlight was for sure our tour guide: Les! He is funny, kind, available and super knowledgeable!

5.00Amazing trip from start to finish! The weather cooperated and we had a great time! The zoo was small but spectacular and we had early access. We had 90 minutes there which was enough to see the Australian wildlife. Lunch was on our own and most places were pricey. Some folks on the tour had brought their own lunch and they had time to wander about the little shops. The mountains were just lovely and Les keeps you well informed of all the flora and fauna. If you go with this tour operator, you will be in good hands.
Can only recommend 🤩

5.00The best trip, Les is such a fantastic guide! Les had all kinds of facts and stories to tell and he is really good at it, he is funny and incredibly entertaining 🤩 he also helped me with my tickets for the zoo and Scenic world because I booked them in advance. Scenic world was not a problem, but please buy the tickets for the zoo at Les because he still has special benefits if you buy them from him, such as Discounts and special times and look behind the scenes that otherwise go through your rags! All in all a highly recommended day trip, I would do it again any time! Thanks Les for the lovely memories 😎👍
Much more expensive than posted!

2.00The price displayed does not correspond to the total price paid. You will be asked to pay twice the price for zoo admission and cable cars. This does not appear anywhere. This is dishonest!!
Must go tour

5.00My sister and I joined this tour on the night before the tour. Dave was very helpful in assisting us with the booking We were picked up on time by Les Goldworthy , our guide/driver. The trip was very enjoyable even though the weather was cloudy and had a bit of shower. Les was flexible in juggling our itinerary with the condition of the low cloud to maximize our viewing Les was very funny , full of stories and history of Sydney /australia. With a photographic memory, he remembers all events and dates. Going to the zoo was a bonus And the scenic world was fun
Les is a star 🌟
