Blue Mountain tour with zoo and cable cars was excellent

5.00This was a great tour. Les, our tour guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history and the ecosystem. If the weather had been better regarding looking at the mountains, it would’ve been a lot better, however, he made sure when the clouds finally lifted at the very end of the tour that we were able to see the three sisters. I would recommend this tour.
Enjoyable Blue Mountains trip

5.00Les is an excellent tour guide who was informative and engaging. The ferry back to Sydney was a great idea to avoid the rush hour traffic at end of day.
Absolutely exceptional day out

5.00Incredible day from start to finish. Our driver/guide, Les, is exceptional, both organisationally and his awesome knowledge and memory, what a star! We toured Sydney Zoo, Scenic World and areas of the Blue Mountains which avoided the big tour buses. Les’ quick thinking on our way back avoided long queues on the motorway caused by a vehicle catching fire. Amazing! Great stories too! Definitely the best day of our entire holiday!
Great Day Out

5.00Great Day Out Early start which was well worth it l still can’t believe how much we got in. We did The Blue Mountains about eight years ago with a different operator paid a lot more money but never saw as much as we did with Bruce our driver and guide. Well Done Excellent Day Out Thank You.
Excellent excursion

5.00What a fantastic day with Bruce our tour guide . Informative and well paced . The tour was good value, even with the clearly laid optional entrance fees clearly explained in the. Booking form and then by Bruce himself early in the tour. However what really made the tour was Bruce himself. Knowledgeable, witty and kept everything ticking along nicely. He delivered his information in nice manageable chunks and delivered in such a way that you were disappointed when he said there was more to come to allow us time to digest what he said already. The zoo was excellent, the Blue Mountains were superb and even the ferry ride back added to the whole experience. Also to mention is that a couple of hours before we started the tour we got a message with a contact name and the reg of the bus. This made us feel safe and things were organised. Well done.
