“Great day and well organized. We saw a lot in one day. Loved Featherdale and the cute Koalas and so many other animals. Then we were off to Scenic World in the Blue Mountains with the aerial trams and the train and the scenic walk way. Then we were off to Echo Point for a spectacular view of the Three Sisters. Finally we were on a ferry back to Circular Quay in Sydney which was very scenic. Our driver guide was terrific. Provided great commentary on the way and specific info on shopping, where to eat and timing. Highly recommend.”

“+ views + walks + watherfall + great idea with only one pickup place - Lunch included = sandwich with ham and cheese or vege. - music on the bus instead of guide/ driver saying interesting facts. Maybe record some and play them.”
Review of a Blue Mountains day tour with Scenic World rides, Three Sisters, waterfalls, Sydney Zoo, koala photo, and a ferry return.
“Ronnie was a great guide. She was funny and had a good attitude. She shared a lot of interesting information with us about the area and the places we toured. We saw so much in a day. The best thing about the zoo was seeing the cute koala bears and getting our picture taken with one. The Blue Mountains we’re beautiful and had a lot of interesting history. We saw an old coal mine and rode on the steepest railroad in the world. We did a sky tram for panoramic views of the valley.”
Review of Sydney Tower Skyfeast, a 90-minute rotating buffet with 360-degree views, seafood, international dishes, and optional window seating.
“This is one of the things that must be on your Sydney to do list. Our slot was as outside was changing from day time to evening. The views from the dining tables were phenomenal, pay a little extra to have a window seat - well worth it! The food will not disappoint, how often on an all you can eat buffet do you get oysters and lobster. Enjoy your visit.”
Paddle Sydney Harbour at sunrise, see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge up close, then enjoy free photos, coffee, and a pastry for $119.
“Absolutely incredible experience — I cannot recommend this more highly! Guides were friendly, helpful and very informative. Fantastic experience and value for money (activity lasted longer than 2 hours the morning that I did it and you get breakfast after). Guides also took photos of each person in front of the Opera house and harbor bridge for free. I am not a morning person but I’d become one for this — it really doesn’t get better than this:)”
