Blue Mountains
The Koalas and the panoramas of the Blue-Mountains-Nationalpark were the Highlight for me. The bit one can experience in a day, but totally worth it. The small group allows for stressfree photography, whether its the landscape or social media. I really enjoyed my tour. So thank you Craig for showing us around, it was an unforgettable day.

Nice drive
Jeff was nice and informative. It was a bit cloudy but still beautiful views. The lunch area he chose was cute, knowing it was basically a lunch stop ( 1hr) but wish we had at least 15mins more.

Featherdale is the best part.
Featherdale is wonderful. Highlight of our entire trip. It would have been nice to actually walk around in the blue mountains more but our guide was great and we saw some beautiful views.

Taking off from Sydney airport and flying to the Blue Mountains. Landing in a field and watching kangaroos at the near by pond. Wonderful tour guide
