We had an absolutely outstanding experience on the Sydney Blue Mountains day tour, made truly unforgettable by our guide, Les. From the moment the tour started, Les was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. His passion for the Blue Mountains and Australian history shone through in every stop along the way. Les shared local insights and fun facts that brought each destination to life. He kept the day organized, relaxed, and enjoyable while ensuring everyone felt included and well cared for. His sense of humor and warm personality made the long day fly by. The breathtaking scenery was amazing, but Les's exceptional guiding really elevated the experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney, and we hope they're lucky enough to have Les as their guide!
This was a great tour! Les did an amazing job and the group learned so much history about this land!
The optional stops are so worth it. We had the zoo to ourselves for the first half our and the animals are less shy. It was amazing. Bruce is a fantastic guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fun. Enjoy!
The tour was of the highest quality. Les the guide/driver was very knowledgeable and had plenty of stories. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great guide, friendly, clear organized. Kids like intimate encounter with kangaroos in the zoo. Love that it ends at night view of harbor.
The tour covers a bit of everything which is great if you have limited time in the city. The guide is fantastic!
From beginning to end, every detail was covered! Sydney Zoo is impressive, Scenic World is breathtaking and Les our tour guide was excellent. Les is very knowledgeable and funny! We definitely recommend this tour! Prepay for everything and you will have the most unforgettable memories!
The tour was awesome, Les was well informed about the sites we visited. Managed to cover major sites on Blue Mountain. Ideal for solo travellers and those who have a short time in Sydney.
Perfectly organized with Bruce like our driver for the day. He was very friendly, polite, talkative and reliable. Would do it again in summer to get back on the boat by the daylight. 10/10
The tour guide had a lot of history and interesting information about Australia, fun for the whole family.
