Experience of a lifetime
Yajhaira_T, Apr 2024
Les was an incredible tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, engaging and very thoughtful. The entire day was beautiful and fun.
Blue Mountains, and a lot more.
PaulA_C, Apr 2024
The whole trip was memorable. I am so glad we chose this one rather than the Sydney tours. It is a must do tour. Our driver Bruce was so very informative. We learned so much about every thing in the mountains.
Fun and Exciting
Teresa_T, Apr 2024

Les is Fantastic

Les was fantastic his knowledge was ourstanding and we would do any other trip if he was in charge. He deserves a big pay rise.
Spectacular Blue mountain views but deceptive tour description
Uzo_N, Apr 2024
The description of the tour experience did not make it clear that if you chose not to do the Sydney zoo or the Scenic World cable experiences, which were paid extras, you would have to spend 3 hours on your own. This is because each of these took an hour and a half and happened one after the other at the start of the day. So in effect, half of the day is spent on your own devices with little guidance. The tour operator should either increase their price to include these activities which will give a more accurate estimate of the cost of the tour or provide guided alternative activities which will be included in the tour price for people who don’t want to take part in the paid activities. The way it is now is really false advertising. The three overlooks stops of the Blue mountain that was included in the tour was great because the views were amazing. The so called River cruise listed is laughable!! It was just a ferry ride back to Circular Quay that freed the tour operator of the responsibility of dropping people off in designated hotels from which they were picked up. This also is certainly false advertising!! Just call it what it is and let people know that they will be returning to central Sydney by ferry and will need to find their way back to their final destinations. Making it sound like a fancy river cruise is the ultimate in deceptive marketing. I did ultimately enjoy myself in spite of the aforementioned concerns because of the spectacular Blue mountain views. Also, the funny stories and commentaries of the tour guide, Les. made the long periods spent on the bus more enjoyable and he was very knowledgeable of the local history.
Wonderful excursion with excellent guide

Colin_P, Apr 2024
Unfortunately, it was pouring down, Les the driver did all in his power to find us a view but in the end we all made the decision to return to Sydney. We still had a great time and all arrived back safe.

Avoid
Michael_s, Apr 2024
Told Trip was cancelled at the pick up spot Day before a severe weather warning issued but to late for me to cancel for free Vendors didn’t reply to questions so we had to get up early walk through torrential rain across Sydney and wait for bus, so the driver could tell us it was far to dangerous to venture out
Great

Perfect day!!
Suzan_L, Mar 2024
Les was an amazing tour guide, he knew so much about everywhere we visitedand took us to so many amazing spots. He was a funny, walking, talking encyclopedia. Clearly cares about the environment and is passionate about his country. Perfect day, book this tour you won't regret it. We would give it 10 stars if we could.
Full day experience....

Great day. Bruce was a wonderful tour guide! He explained the itinerary clearly and left us to have quiet times too.
Exhilarating Stunning Panoramic views
Anonymous, Mar 2024
Absolutely stunning experience in the unbelievable Blue mountains. If you're in the Sydney area you've got to do this. Exhilarating rides and fantastic scenery.
The bar has been set high!
Jacqui_B, Mar 2024
Les was absolutely the most fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgable, great sense of humour and of course the views were amazing.
Add to Sydney Bucket List
John_W, Mar 2024
Superb tour with a friendly and informative guide. There were options at the various look out sites so those with fear of heights or reduced mobility were still able to enjoy the scenery. The tour included Sydney Zoo which was OK but nothing spectacular. The cruise back to Sydney is actually a ferry from Sydney Olympic Park. The ferry is large and the trip was really enjoyable. You need to add this tour to your Sydney bucket list.
