I would give second thoughts on booking with this tour company. If you so not tkae optional add ons then the treatment becomes different. I was made really uncomfortable by the tour guide. I felt I was treated differently after the tour started and did not enjoy the tour after this happened. Blue mountains tour is not worth it if you are not getting the optional add ons, especially scenic world. You are basically paying for transportation only. This can be accompliahed by renting a car which is the cheaper option. I will not book with this compnay if they have the tour guide I had. On a positivr note, organizer Dave was excellent with communication and the vehicle arrived on time.
My guide his name is Bruce very good service and friendly thx u so much :))) I had a good time at Sydney.
We loved the tour to the Zoo and Blue Mountains! Our guide, Les was so full of knowledge and he made it interesting for our 8 and 10 year old kids. We got in early to the zoo and had enough time to see almost everything, but loved the koalas and kangaroos. We did all 3 of the scenic world experiences which provided great views and we learned so much from Les on the guided canopy walk about the area. We had time for a nice lunch in Leura and then got to see the view from a few different lookout points. The river cruise was a nice way to end the day. Would highly recommend the tour and it was a great chance to get out of the city and explore more of Australia!
Great experience! Lez was amazingly knowledgeable and entertaining. We added on the train and cable cars as well as the Sydney zoo- beautiful day!
Blue mountain is beautiful. This package gives you the flexibility to opt in activities if you want to join last minute. Thank you

We had an absolutely outstanding experience on the Sydney Blue Mountains day tour, made truly unforgettable by our guide, Les. From the moment the tour started, Les was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. His passion for the Blue Mountains and Australian history shone through in every stop along the way. Les shared local insights and fun facts that brought each destination to life. He kept the day organized, relaxed, and enjoyable while ensuring everyone felt included and well cared for. His sense of humor and warm personality made the long day fly by. The breathtaking scenery was amazing, but Les's exceptional guiding really elevated the experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney, and we hope they're lucky enough to have Les as their guide!
This was a great tour! Les did an amazing job and the group learned so much history about this land!
The optional stops are so worth it. We had the zoo to ourselves for the first half our and the animals are less shy. It was amazing. Bruce is a fantastic guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fun. Enjoy!
The tour was of the highest quality. Les the guide/driver was very knowledgeable and had plenty of stories. I would highly recommend this tour.
