The rain did not dampen our spirits!
We had a great day despite the weather (it rained from start to finish…!) our guide Ben did a great job in challenging circumstances - the fog obscured pretty much everything - and kept us interested and entertained for the day. The walks were lovely and a great lunch at the Leura gourmet deli. Comfortable travel, well organised (I like that we had a confirmation text the day before). Only suggestion would be to include a couple of other pickup points as we were 15-20 mins walk from the nearest one. Thanks Ben for dropping us back direct to our hotel!
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're really pleased that your guide Ben was able to make the most of the damp day and that you still had such an enjoyable day in the Blue Mountains. We understand your comment about the pickup points and will keep this in mind to see if this is possible in the future. We used to have more pickup options but the morning run in the horrible city traffic could take over an hour which is not a great start to the day for those who are first onto the bus, so we streamlined it to be as quick as possible. We hope that you can come again on a much nicer day!

Lots and lots of stairs....
Lots and lots of stairs. My watch said I climbed 16 floors, down then up!
Absolutely heavenly, even though it was cloudy all day.
I highly recommend it if you are in good shape. I am in my late 70s and kept up just fine. The group I was with didn't seem interested in taking photos, so they went pretty fast down. I started back up quite quickly so I could enjoy the forest and take photos on the way back.
Operator response
Thanks for your recommendation! We really appreciate it and are very pleased that you managed the climb down and up the valley so well and got lots of photos. 16 floors is a lot!

Amazing tour to see...
Amazing tour to see Fetherdale Wildlife Park and Blue Mountains/Three Sisters in a day. Chris from Activity Tours was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and knows the trails in and out. I’d trust him in the wilderness anywhere. I also appreciate his excellent photo taking and how considerate he was while making sure we were comfortable with the steeper sections.
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your great experience in the Blue Mountains. We're very pleased that Chris' experience helped to ensure that you were comfortable, safe and thoroughly enjoyed your day.
