3.00Guide was great, we loved the breathtaking views, but I don’t think this was the right tour for us. We choose the scenic experience thinking we would be grouped with others with the same interest- we didn’t expect to waste time at the zoo, we would have preferred to use that time doing one of the walks/hikes around the blue mountains. We should have made our own way there and used our time better.
Book this tour!

5.00This was the second time we’ve done this tour with Les. We sought him out again this year because he is such a great guide: knowledgeable, engaging, helpful and funny. Unfortunately this time the weather was damp and misty, so not the best for seeing the wonderful Blue Mountains but Les did his best to juggle the activities to work around the changing conditions to make the most of each stop. This is definitely a tour not to be missed. If I had to suggest an improvement I’d remove the zoo visit to have more time with Les and the mountains.
Bruce is the best tour guide, fabulous experience

5.00We had an amazing experience in the blue mountains from start to finish. Bruce was the best tour guide, friendly, informative, kind, funny and shared so.much interesting info on the blue mountains. The Blue mountains are beautiful. Enjoyed the walk through the rainforest and Scenic world and Bruce had great tips to share. Seeing the Aussie animals at Sidney Zoo was great. Two of my daughters and myself had a great day. I would highly recommend this tour especially if Bruce is hosting the tour. Well done !!
Awesome full day tour!!

5.00This was an excellent, well organized tour that got us around to many different sights and stops. Bruce did an amazing job taking care of our group. You’re in great hands if he is your guide, couldn’t recommend more highly!! The history behind the Blue Mountains is incredibly interesting and there is ample physical activity (not incredibly taxing) throughout the day. Great tour, would do again. 10/10!
A great tour and Les was a first class guide

5.00It was an awesome tour.. Though the Train service at Scenic world is not available on that day, the tour guide Mr.Bruce took as around the places very patiently. He was very uptodate on the tour and his commentary was very wonderful and useful. He was very accommodative to all tourists in the bus. (has waited for those who are walking slow) We had sufficient time in every place. My special thanks to Bruce. Overall Blue Mountain tour one has to visit and enjoy the nature's beauty while comes to Sydney.
