5.00Our guide was amazing and really made us a gorgeous day , again. Great lookout spots, different to last time, time for a very short hike to understand the plants and environment. The mountains are a wonderful place brought to life by our guide Dave.
Our tour was top-notch with Dave!

5.00Our assigned guide, Dave Taylor, was a great, flexible, knowledgable host for the day. He picked us up at our hotel on time and adjusted the tour along the way as he started to get to know us. For example, he heard us talk about birds and flora and brought us to places to see each. He answered loads of question we had about Australia and knew Scenic World by heart, as well as other Blue Mtn "must-see" locations. He also found a lovely place for us to eat in Katoomba that was healthy and delicious. Lastly, our weather was very hot today, so he adjusted the end of the trip to help us manage the heat. Five stars!

5.00We had a great day visiting the Blue Mountains, which is well worth your time to go see. Brett, the tour guide, could not have been more professional and full of wonderful information to help enjoy your day. The van is very much the way to go; skip the crowds, the buses and get water and Wi-Fi to take with you on your walks through the various stops. This is definitely the way to go.
So glad we chose this private tour - it was very special.

5.00After more than 10 years we tripped again to Australia. We promised ourselves we would try to visit the Blue mountains the time. To make sure on this occasion we decided to pay a little more to make it a private trip just for us. We took the guidance of our hotel concierge who said he always had good feedback on the Blue ribbon company, so he booked us on for last week. It truly lived up to its reputation and we got lucky to have the best guide in Dave. He is a master of the mountains, you can tell he knows his stuff and how to make sure you have the best time. Yes he made us feel special going out of his way to do exactly what we wanted, a few short walks, some off the way viewpoints and avoided any crowds. We wanted to do the Scenicworld option which cost and extra $59 but was well worth it. Dave got us up to mKatoomba early so as to miss all the big tour buses which we saw when we had finished. A masterstroke by Dave. HIs recommendation of the Katoomba lunch cafe was perfect and we came home on a 45 minute comfy ferry along the river. You can see the difference to taking a bus tour with others and you may get left behind, of have your own guide and be guaranteed of a top day. ONE incredible day !
Brilliant day out for all the family

5.00We were told not to miss the Blue Mountains but weren't sure where to start. This tour was brilliant. Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with lots of interesting information and insights as well as making sure we got the best out of day's experience. Amazing views, cable car and a steep train, a great lunch venue, a trip to the zoo, as well as stopping off at some great lookout points. Wrapped up with boat cruise back into Sydney. We all enjoyed it immensely.
It is 100% great .

5.00We had the best of days n Sydney when we decided upon taking an excursion to the Blue mountains. We are not ones for bus tours with others as you wait around too much so we asked our hotel concierge to recommend a private excursion. He said there were good reports about Blue ribbon so he phoned them up and booked us for the next day. It all lived up to our expectations, Dave was magic in his trip and the mountains inspired us yet again. When we got home we discover we did the same company last time, amazing. They have been around a long time and do a great job. We wouldn't mind going to the mountains on every trip to Sydney.
As good as it gets.

5.00They can’t do it any better. You can do the tour many times and ieach day gives a different perspective. First class delivery by the guide with all you want to know about the Blue mountain plus wildlife and the vegetation. Comfortable ride in the SUV. Having the guide to ourselves makes all the difference and fully worth the extra $$ to do the tour this way . It’s a top notch day.
Unforgettable Blue Mountains & Wildlife Experience!

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time on this private Blue Mountains tour. It was the highlight of our whole trip. From start to finish everything was perfectly organized and completely stress free. Our guide, Dave, made the day not only fun but really personal, sharing local history, great stories, and the best lookout spots (way better than the crowded areas!). The views were unbelievable. The wildlife experience was a huge bonus, getting up close to koalas and kangaroos was something we’ll never forget. Finishing the day with the scenic cruise back into Sydney was the perfect ending. It was relaxing, beautiful, and such a cool way to see the Harbour. We never felt rushed, every detail was handled, and we learned so much while having an amazing time. If you’re visiting Sydney and want something special, book this tour. It’s worth every dollar.
