5.00I went on the tour without knowing much about the Blue Mountains, and I learned a lot from Hide-san, who is Japanese, who gave me an easy-to-understand explanation of the Blue Mountains, Australian history, and so on. I don't think we would have been able to go around the Blue Mountains in such a fulfilling way if we hadn't been on the tour.

Perfect Day Trip Outside Sydney

5.00This was the perfect getaway from the city. We wanted to see the Blue Mountains, but we did not want to be gone the entire day. This was the exact amount of time we wanted out in the beautiful Blue Mountains. Our guide, Tom, was also fabulous. He told great stories about the history and background of the Three Sisters, and he had great recommendations for the lunch we stopped in in Leura (a quaint and charming town, which is worth a visit). He also had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend getting out the city for a short while.
Great Time in the Blue Miuntains
