Meet your guide at your chosen meeting point in Sydney and board a vehicle destined for Blue Mountains National Park. On arrival, you’ll head straight to a viewpoint of the Three Sisters—a distinctive rock formation of great Aboriginal significance.

Then, you’ll experience the thrill of Scenic World Blue Mountains, where you’ll ride the Scenic Railway (the steepest passenger railway in the world) and glide between the clifftops on the glass-bottom Scenic Skyway. You’ll also have the option to walk through the Jurassic rainforest on the Scenic Walkway for an extra fee.

After a gourmet lunch, you’ll then head to either Featherdale Wildlife Park or Sydney Zoo to learn more about native Australian species such as koalas and kangaroos. Then, to conclude your activity-packed day, you’ll take a ferry down the Parramatta River (passing top Sydney landmarks as you go) and end your experience in Barangaroo in Sydney.

Perfect trip to the Blue Mountains

Andrea_M, Apr 2024

The whole trip went perfect from beginning to end. Rin lead us all flawlessly. We had a perfect amount of time at each location and the weather cooperated perfectly. Definitely recommend this excursion. Exceeded our expectations.

Great trip with Anderson’s Tours.

David_O, Apr 2024

Fantastic mountain scenery. Our guide was absolutely outstanding and provided a lot of very interesting information. However the leg room in the van (or lack of) is extremely uncomfortable for tall people.

A "MUST DO!" excursion if you ever visit Sydney

mnbass04, Apr 2024

In the absence of our Tour Guide "Robert" the experience could have never measured up to (and beyond) our expectations. His thorough knowledge of the sites he took us to, along with his witt and humorous personality made it an outing that we will never forget. He was generous beyond measure in ensuring we saw things that may have been beyond the scope (i.e. the Olympic tourche obstructed by the closed road LOL) but not wanting to disappoint, he made a way to make it happen! Between the Blue Mountains, the Zoo, the lovely lunch, the bus in between...all came to an awesome ending with the FERRY RIDE, all we can say is "WOW" Thank you Robert for giving us an outing to remember for a lifetime 🙏

Beautiful.

Shannon_B, Apr 2024

Kunol was an amazing guide. He made the trip so fun. One thing to mention for those that need walkers, you need to let them be taken. The long walk at the scenic tour was brutal. We about killed ourselves. The lunch wa great.

Fantastic tour guide

Hannah_M, Apr 2024

This was a great trip, that was absolutely made by our tour guide Kat. Unfortunately we were a bit unlucky with the weather and the cloud had come in so we didn’t get the view benefits of the Scenic Skyway and cable car. But Kat did her best to find us some spots to take in the views when we could and more than made up for the loss of views with her knowledge about the local area and Australia more broadly! Lunch was great and the visit to the wildlife park was fun as well. All round, a great trip for exploring the blue mountains

Highly Recommend Anderson Tours

Steve_R, Apr 2024

Had an awesome time visiting the Blue Mountains with Robert from Anderson Tours. He was an amazing guide and driver and was knowledgeable of all the areas where we visited. Would highly recommend Anderson Tours for your travel needs and Robert as your guide/ driver.

Sydney day trip

Nibu_A, Apr 2024

The best part of the trip was Kunal who was so friendly, helpful and informative. He made sure everyone in the group were comfortable at all points during the trip. All stops made during the trip were well-spent to take pictures and enjoy the scenic views and breathtaking sights. Our kids enjoyed every moment of it especially Kunal- they bonded quite well with him. Kudos and hats off to the whole team for making this trip a really memorable experience for us.

BEST DAY IN AUSTRALIA

Debra_S, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Rin was AMAZING!!!! Day did not seem so long since the stops between each activity was planned out. Food was great! Cute shops after lunch. Ice cream & chocolate. Rainforest light very exciting. LOOOOOVED everything about this day. Best Australian experience!!!!

Great day trip

Bryan_E, Apr 2024

Kat the guide was very personable and it was great fun to listen to some of the stories she told. The trip in total was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great day in the blue mountains with extras!

Amanda_P, Apr 2024

Lovely day spent with a small group. Tony the tour guide was an absolute star and gave a very informative commentary about the day but also history of Australia. Very well organised day and went very well even though it was the Easter holidays. Lunch was nice at the RSL Club and scenic world was fun. Plenty of opportunities to see the best sights and photograph them. The visit to the west Sydney zoo was a mixed experience. Too hot too busy and I didn’t enjoy seeing the animals cooped up in small spaces. I guess great for kids but not us. On a positive note was the ferry back along the parramatta river which was enjoyable especially going under the harbour bridge. Great day all round but definitely made by Tony.

Wonderful day long tour!

Rose_R, Apr 2024

Wonderful experience touring the Blue Mountains and Rain forest Our tour Guide was Rin - she was so much fun and extremely knowledgeable Highly recommend and ask for Rin!

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!

Diane_M, Apr 2024

What an action-packed, well-organized excursion! With Rin as our guide, our family of four adults learned about and saw more sights in Sydney than we ever imagined! The tour began with introductions and an outline of the day's activities as we ventured to the Blue Mts. Rin was full of interesting facts and figures. We stopped at incredible view stations, learned about the towns we were passing-through, had a guided tour through Scenic World, effortlessly received all our tickets, enjoyed a delicious meal in a charming village, walked throughout Featherdale Park, and took the high-speed ferry into Stanley Harbor for remarkable views of the bridge and opera house. It was incredible -- and so was our guide Rin!

Wonderful

David_T, Apr 2024

Adam was an excellent guide, story-teller and manager of time. We were able to see and experience so much and work around the changing weather to see everything to the fullest. Featherdale Wildlife was a real highlight and even 90 minutes wasn’t enough; don’t miss it.

Great tour Tks KG for a great day

Dennis_W, Apr 2024

The walk in the blue mountains was great and the ride to the bottom. Also later the walk through the animal park.

Great day!

Jennifer_N, Apr 2024

Tom was an excellent guide! We had such a memorable day and learned so much. Highly recommend! Stopped for a lovely breakfast bite, then scenic world, then the waterfall, nice lunch, Sydney zoo to take photos with koalas and feed kangaroos then finished with a fabulous boat ride down the parramatta river.

Nice guide n very organised trip

PRIYANA_N, Apr 2024

Blue mountain is amasing , especially scenic blue mountain tour . We really have a good time and enjoy this trip.

Awesome Tour

Deedra_M, Apr 2024

I would like to first start by saying our tour guide KG was amazing 👏🏽. I don't think that we could've gotten a better experience through no other guide. This was by far one of the best tours I've taken with Viator and it was well worth the time and money. Very informative, great sense of humor, beautiful sites to tour. Awesome experience.

Perfect excursion without flaws.

Harald_G, Apr 2024

Perfect excursion without flaws. The guide was competent and friendly. The boach/bus we have been on was clean and modern.

Wonderful Blue Mountain Tour

Julie_D, Apr 2024

Our Guide did a great job explaining each of the activities and what we should see and do. She was very knowledable about the Blue Mountains, Australian animals and many of the surrounding towns.

One of Our Favorite Tours

Adriana_D, Apr 2024

This tour was one of our favorites! Our tour guide Kunal (Koala) was a wealth of knowledge and made our day go so smoothly! Kunal made suggestions along the way for special foods and shops that we would have the opportunity to visit that are special to the area that we wouldn’t have known otherwise: The Blue Mountains are gorgeous and Featherdale Animal Sanctuary was such a special experience. Highly suggest this tour!
