Great Service, Great Guide, Great Experience

I had a wonderful experience on the private Blue Mountains tour organized by Ausguides. From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and efficient. The team was responsive, helpful, and ensured everything was clearly arranged before the trip, which made the whole experience stress-free. A special thanks to our driver and guide, Joseph, who truly made the day memorable. Joseph was extremely knowledgeable about the region and shared interesting insights throughout the journey. He also did a great job helping us manage the crowds at popular spots, which allowed us to enjoy the views without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. What stood out the most was how flexible and thoughtful he was with the itinerary. Joseph happily customized the schedule based on what we enjoyed the most and even gave us extra time at places we particularly liked. That personal touch made the tour feel relaxed and tailored just for us. Overall, it was a fantastic experience—well organized, informative, and very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Ausguides to anyone planning a Blue Mountains trip, and I especially hope you get Joseph as your guide!

A great guide, ask for Luke James

Our guide Luke James made this trip so special. He was knowledgeable and very professional but more than that, he truly loved the sights, the nature, and the animals. He would make it easy for us. He would put us in position for the best experience. He took our pictures and texted them back to us. We couldn’t ask for more. A great guide.

Amazing tour

We booked the Ausguides Blue Mountain Tour for our family. It was our first visit to the mountain. We were super grateful that we had Joseph as our guide/drive. He was very patient and very knowledgeable through out the whole tour. He drove us from location to location and kindly provided all the historical background of the site we visited. When we visited Featherdale Sydney Wild Park, Joseph kindly walked us through the park and visit each Aussie animals. I was surprised by his knowledge of the animals and he explains most of them in details. Next he took us to the Scenics World in blue mountain. He made sure we knew all the rides and were familiar with the facility before he left us. And later he took us to different outlook point in blue mountain and saw some amazing views. Overall my family had really wonderful time. We definitely would book again with Ausguides.

Must visit: the Featherdale Wildlife Refuge and the Blue Mountains while in Sydney.

Our tour to the Featherdale Wildlife Reserve and the Blue Mountains was amazing. Luke James was a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. The Refuge was impressive and very hands on. We were able to feed kangaroos and see Koalas up close. The day started very foggy but after he took us for a lunch break in Katoomba, the fog had lifted and we were able to enjoy the views from Scenic World. He recommended the Yellow Deli for lunch. What a treat to be able to have an amazing lunch in such a quaint local restaurant! Very unique place. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney. It is definitely worth it to spend a day in the Blue Mountains and visit the Featherdale Wildlife Refuge.

Great experience with ausguides we are super happy

A day spent well with Muz. Great experience at the Zoo with Koala, Kangaroos and other native animals there. They are so cute. Scenic world ride is must. We booked tickets and were not sure if they were already included in the price. Muz had already our tickets booked as they were already included. Great experience with ausguides.

Tailor-Made Experience!

Our experience using Ausguides was amazing! They assisted with tailoring the perfect itinerary for our family of Mom, who wanted to photograph all the most incredible views of the mountains, 14 year old daughter who wanted to interact with a koala and Dad who was just along for the fun (and private car ride)! The private tour is definitely worth the extra special experience.

Operator response
