JD was a great driver and helpful with instructions of where to go.
Tour was great beautiful views nice scenic rides. Alfie our tour guide was outstanding very informative gave us a lot of history of the area. I would recommend this trip !!!!
We had a great tour to the Blue Mountains. Quick overview of the area. Wish we had time for more! Happy to have an option that didn't include a zoo stop since we already spent a day at the zoo. The tour was good pacing for our two kids, 4 and 7. I think the 7 year old would have liked more adventure but he loved the train ride at scenic world. Alfie, our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. He had a lot of history to share with us which was great context for the tour. Definitely recommend the tour if you just have a day to explore the mountains and no car to get up here yourself.
Our guide Alfie was outstanding very informative. The tour was awesome great views. Cable and scenic rides where very good
Beautiful scenery! Well worth a trip. Great tour guide, Nabil was a great driver and very entertaining

Mayuko's guiding and Allen's driving made for a comfortable experience.
Mia and Max were fantastic guides! Both are friendly and kind and the kids loved talking all things Anime with Mia. The trip is well planned and fits all ages. Great day trip for groups!
Max and Mia were fantastic hosts on our journey into the mountains. While the weather was not perfect, their fun personality and knowledge of the sites made for a wonderful day.
What a great way to see the highlights of the Blue Mountains (The Three Sisters and Scenic World) without all the hassle of hiring a car/dealing with traffic/finding parking. We were picked up from our hotel door and treated to a wonderfully comfortable ride by our driver, Bruno and our tour guide Mayuko was very informative and helpful. Both were friendly and personable making the day a highlight of our stay in Sydney. Highly recommended!
