It was a very well organised tour and gave ample time to explore the places and spots. Our tour guide was very friendly and provided lots of of information about the places, history and significance of local culture. Must try especially Blue mountains. Zoo can be made optional.
The trip was amazing. Lez is an amazing tour guide. Although I was surprised I had to pay an extra $198 for the trip to the zoo and the cable cars. It was well worth it. This advertisement should be updated to what the price for this trip actually is. Also, the "River cruse, is just a city cat. Basically like paying for a bus fair which is werid that it's advertised to be a feature. But still this tour is definitely one of the best 👌
Great day out for us. Being Aussies we enjoyed seeing things we hadn’t seen before. Les was a great guide, full of information and the odd ‘dad joke’. Our smaller bus made it feel like a family day out. Well worth it.
This was the perfect tour for Aussies and tourists alike. We fit so much into our day and didn’t have the driving and parking to worry about. Les was an amazing tour director/ driver, full of information and the odd ‘dad joke’. Being a smaller bus, you feel like you’re together for the day. So nice.
Les was very engaging -laughter all the way and very kind. He is very knowledgable about the mountais,trees,mushrooms,wildlife,list is endless. He also made sure everyone is ok throughout the trip.
Amazing experience. Les was very informative, had some great yarns and was an all round fungi! His good local knowledge allowed us to get into the zoo before opening.
10+ hours of tour round the Blue Mountains including a trip to Sydney Zoo and Scenic world for discounted additional extras which were optional. Bruce was our tour guide for the day and did a fabulous job of keeping us entertained and informed with his excellent knowledge of the areas we visited and took photos for us. The trip usually ends with a ferry back to Circular Quay but ferries were full due to events in Sydney and Bruce was amazing and had stayed to make sure we got on a boat and offered to take those of us who didn’t get on the ferry back on the bus; over and above his already long shift. Couldn’t fault this trip for such a small cost with so much packed in to the day. Excellent value for money and would highly recommend.
great experience: mountain and zoo was amazing as well as Les the driver with all his knowledge of the terrain and his handling of the whole tour made the trip really worth it.
A fun day trip to Blue mountain. I got lost navigating to the pick up location and the team was nice enough to change my pick up location to the Sydney zoo which was stop one on the tour. It worked out great for us since we were staying closer to the zoo than to the Harbour. The cable ride, skyride and railway was such a fun experience I wish we could have been there 30 more minutes to be able to ride them again since we had to pay for the daypass anyway but totally understand why. Overall a fun experience
