Great tour to Blue Mountains
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to the Blue Mountains & Featherdale Wildlife Reserve with Rocky as our private tour guide. He’s responsive and pleasant in our communications and scheduling. He gave us interesting facts and myths along the way, and provided helpful suggestions for our family including 2 elderly and 2 kids. Overall, a very smooth trip out of the city and everyone had a good time. Definitely suggest Sydney Top Tour :))
