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.”

See wombats, kangaroos, waterfalls, eucalyptus forests, dinner, and stars on a 10.5-hour small-group tour from Sydney.
“Dave was a very thoughtful, entertaining, and considerate tour guide. He made the trip very smooth and enjoyable throughout the whole tour. His mixture of humor and genuinely interesting insight is a breath of fresh air, especially for such long tours. Additionally, after the tour was over, he took everyone to their hotels individually. He did not need to do this, but he did so anyway, which is very nice.”

“It was an excellent trip, our guide Tom and our driver Bruno did very well as we had quite a large group (42).We could have had more time at Sydney Zoo as once we had fed the kangaroos and had photos with the Koalas it didn’t leave much time for the rest of the zoo. We had a nice stop for lunch at Leura and then on to Blue mountains and scenic park, a full but enjoyable day, well done”

Combine koalas, kangaroos, boutique Hunter Valley wineries, cheese, chocolate, and lunch on a small-group day trip from Sydney.
“Nice tour, the wildlife park is really nice and obvious animals well looked after, I personally would prefer lunch at a winery rather than a resort, the first winery I didn’t rate - Allandale, just wasn’t great at all. Second winery was beautiful and really good - Bon Villa, and would be nice to have a bit livelier music on way home. With a change of lunch venue and changing out first winery would be 5 star. Sam was a really good guide and knowledgable.”

Plenty of snacks and drinks provided, and ample time to enjoy Australia’s natural beauty and wildlife. Dave is a great guide with entertaining anecdotes and animal facts along the way. Highly recommend 😊(and recommend the flying fox excursion as well)”

“Our tour guide Ela made our trip to the Blue Mountains, Scenic World and a wildlife park unforgettable. She was clear, concise, knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic; in fact, everything you could wish for in a tour guide. Our transport arrived on time and arrived back in Sydney at 16.00 - as planned. We enjoyed the small group experience and I think we all ended as friends by the end of the day. All in all, a great day out and one that I would highly recommend.”
