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.

5.00To get out of Sydney was most refreshing. Our guide was a pleasure to be with for the day. We had his undivided attention all day as the tour was only for my wife and I. We told him what we liked, not too much walking but enough to see the main attractions. The gondola and train were a highlight. Also loved his information on nature and trees. The Featherdale at the end completed a wonderful tour day.
It's the ultimate way to celebrate.

5.00Our wedding anniversary present to us was another journey to the Blue mountains. We again put our trust in Dave to find us a memorable experience in the Blue mountains. We visited different places to our other trips, down to the Megalong valley for lunch, exploring the Govetts leap and some nice hikes. We stayed 2 nights at the Leura Fairmont and Dave collected us on the third day back ton Sydney. Absolutely;y fabulous .
Lovely day out in the Mountains

5.00Very pleasant trip to the Blue Mountains. Dave was super friendly and knowledgeable. Would love to go back and experience the Railway (as it was down for maintenance). P.S. I left my jacket in the car but Dave was kind enough to deliver it back to my hotel :)
Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains Trail
