Our 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 .

Very 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 :)

Dave is an absolutely incredible tour guide! His vast knowledge of Sydney and specifically the Blue Mountains was amazing and his passion for his trade was evident! He went above and beyond to show us all sorts of neat things. Thanks for a great tour and we highly recommend this tour to others!!

Lucky with perfect spring weather and lucky to have such a professional guide as Darren for our private trip around the Blue mountains. Even collected us from our Bondi beach hotel. We saw super vistas of the canyons from varying perspectives, nice luncheon cafe in katoomba and well worth the extra for visiting Scenicworld where we doubled up on the steep train ride twice. We now know so much about the Aussie culture from Darren. Top bloke. The ferry ride return to the city was a lovely ending.

My family of 4 - 2 children 12y and 6y, had the most awesome day with Dave. He thought of everything including to keep the kids interested which meant a bit of extra time at Scenicworld to do the train ride 3 times, just loved that. We all learnt so much about trees, animals the geography , environment etc. He is so professional with his driving and his immense experience of his 30 years really shows. Even his choice of cafes in Katoomba was perfect with really good meals, we would never have found it by ourselves. Do this trip, the Blue mountains views are " out of this world". !

You could go many times to the Blue mountains and at different times of the year it looks like somewhere else. On this occasion new had Darren as our tour guide in his private car just for my wife and I. He knows all the best parts of the mountains and as we were returning customers he gave us extra attention to show us other areas we have not visited. The tea rooms in the Megalong valley for lunch was a nice touch. This time we even got out to Govetts Leap plus we went on some bush walking with Darren. Another memorable day.

You can have many visits to the Blue mountains and each time seems different. Incredibly we remembered the company name since so many years ago and we struck Dave again. He is a gem. This time we had him all to ourselves choosing his private tour option. You get his comfy suv just for us plus his undivided attention the entire day. We asked for different places to see since our previous visit which he gladly obliged. So many different viewing points of the immense canyon and lovely walks with him in the forests. Another magical day.

We had an absolutely amazing day with Darren our tour guide - he was so good at flexing the itinerary to suit us and we ended up with an excellent personalised experience. The weather was perfect and the views were spectacular. Darren knew of all the great places to stop and he took so many photos of our family for us which was a nice touch! I would definitely recommend the Scenic World add-on, it was a great addition to our day & we loved walking through the rainforest. Featherdale wildlife park was a real highlight at the end of our day! We stroked kangaroos & wallabies, walked through with the lorikeets & we even got a photo with a koala which we’ll treasure forever. Nothing can beat the stunning views of the blue mountains and it was great to have someone with so much knowledge & experience showing us around. Highly recommend this trip with Darren, you won’t be disappointed!
