What To Expect
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park
As an optional first stop, we can visit Featherdale Wildlife Park, renowned for having the largest collection of native Australian animals in the world. Because this is a completely private charter, you have the ultimate luxury of flexibility and can simply decide on the morning of your tour if you would like to include this experience. If you choose to visit, it is a fantastic opportunity to hand-feed kangaroos, get up close with koalas, and meet a huge variety of local wildlife before we ascend into the Blue Mountains. We can easily discuss your preferences and tailor the itinerary as we depart Sydney in the comfort of your Mercedes V-Class.
Blue Mountains
Enjoy complete flexibility on your private Blue Mountains tour, allowing you to explore the areas of your choice, linger longer at your favourite spots, or skip the busy attractions altogether. With no other guests in your luxury Mercedes V-Class, the day is entirely yours. Having toured the Blue Mountains for over fifteen years, your expert guide has discovered a vast network of secret vantage points that offer spectacular, uninterrupted views over the sprawling valleys. Rather than following the crowded tourist trails, we spend most of our time exploring these magnificent areas away from the larger bus groups. We will take you deep into ancient, lush rainforests and to secluded cliff-edge lookouts where you can truly appreciate the dramatic sandstone escarpments and the famous blue eucalyptus haze in complete peace.

5.00Wonderful tour with Dave for our day in the Blue Mountains! He greeted us at our hotel and we decided how we would spend our day. Dave is able to take you to the places that the tour busses can not access. He has a great knowledge of the area. He also spent time showing us birds and plant unique to the area. He found a nice lunch spot and we finished the day with ice cream before the drive back.
Amazing personalised trip

5.00We had the most amazing day. Absolutely beautiful scenery and David is a first class tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. We would highly recommend the private tour. There are so many benefits and it feels so personalised. We loved it and thank you David. We will be back next year for another tour.

5.00An amazing experience with David from Escape Scenes !! His incredible knowledgeable of the Blue Mountains took us to places where we saw carnivorous plants, secret valleys and beautiful waterfalls, things you won't see ordinarily. We spent the full day with David and he kindly picked us up and dropped us back to the door of our hotel in the cbd and he gently suggested better alternatives to what we had seen in web searches including incredible walking and mtb trails for our future reference ! All-in-all this was the best value experience during our Australia Day weekend in Sydney ! Great value and a great day - thank you David !
Escape to the Blue Mountains - fantastic !

5.00David is incredibly knowledgeable about the Blue Mountains, the walks and the towns. He helped us see things that you will find hard to see on any other tour because he points out things like the carnivorous plant that only grows in one location on a single rock ! He is also super accommodating when it came to our preferences and gently guided us away from the mainstream. We had an exceptional experience over the entire day. Highly recommended !
Best tour ever

Friendly, knowledgeable, comfortable and memorable private tour of Blue Mountains and Featherdale wildlife park with expert guid

5.00Fantastic Blue Montains Tour. Picked up from our hotel by Dave our friendly and knowledge tour expert in his comfortable luxurious 8-seater SUV for a 9 hour tour. Itinerary was totally flexible as nothing was set in stone. We opted for a 90 minute visit to Featherdale wildlife park to see some of the indigenous species including wombats, paddymelons, kangaroos and everyone's favourite the Koala bears. The rest of the journey was centred in and around the Blue Mountains overlooking Jameson valley. Dave knows this area like the back of his hand, and took us to see some amazing views whilst being able to avoid the touristy crowds as he knows the tour company routes and schedules. Along the way Dave kept us informed with titbits of information on local history and geography based on several years experience in the area. We would like to thank Dave for taking us on a memorable day out, and thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone who wishes to have a private tour of the Blue Mountains in a comfortable vehicle with an expert guide. Thanks Dave!!!
