Peter was very helpful answering our queries and also e-mailed us some really useful info for our stay in Sydney. Picked us up on time for our private Blue Mountains Tour in a modern, spacious and comfortable vehicle. He was a great guide throughout; helpful, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Featherstone wildlife park was really good. Also took us to a great local family restaurant for lunch. Food great. Our Blue Mountains tour need to be adjusted around the areas closed to the fires but was very well done. A very memorable day out and can't recommend this company highly enough. Seeing the queues for this on the coach tours I'd recommend you go private if possible

Thanks Steve, and your patience was much appreciated. Yes, the fires required a bit of detouring back in December, but thankfully things are largely back to normal now for tourists in the Blue Mountains

This was the second of two trips that we booked with Peter and were not disappointed. We are not fans of the big bus tours and this was exactly what we were looking for. The morning we went to the mountains was very foggy and Peter was able to adjust the itinerary so that we did not miss anything. The scenery was spectacular once the weather improved. As noted before, he is very knowledgeable and personable. It was a great day.

Peter is an amazing tour guide offering a private and relaxed atmosphere for anyone looking to see the Blue Mountains as a family.
Our family (kids 8 and 10) booked a tour with Peter to have a tour of our own to the Blue Mountains. We originally were scheduled to see the Jenolan caves, but due to the bushfires the caves were closed. He suggested we visit Featherdale and he was right. He knew exactly what we needed and what was best for the kids. We all had a great day and would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a private tour that is very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.

Peter was a great guide to show us around. Very knowledgeable and he took us to spots we would not have otherwise seen. He was great to talk to while driving around as we had a lot to compare between countries. Highly recommend Peter if you are heading to Sydney.

Custom tour around the Blue mountains. Visited all the major sites. Found great food to eat for lunch.
Happy to alter destinations when we changed our mind.
Knowledge about the areas visited was outstanding.
A great day out and the weather turned it on

Our family of five (including teenage boys) enjoyed an incredible day with Peter. The tour was first class from start to finish.
Through the day, we saw:
- Featherdale Wildlife Park. What a treat! We were literally the first to enter the park, having the animals to ourselves for some time, thanks to Peter’s timing.
- Scenic World - including all the traditional rides (Skyway, Railway - twice, and Cableway) and all the scenery of two great hikes (Furber Steps, and a waterfall trek)
- Nice mountain villages, including a nice stop for lunch
- An excellent cliff hike
We covered a lot of ground, and Peter was a great guide - sharing his insights and the day never felt rushed. Check out his website directly, which had good itinerary ideas, FAQs, and booking options.
You’ll enjoy the time traveling, as Peter is happy to field questions and discuss any topic. We learned so much about Sydney and Australian culture - it was like speaking with a friend after a while. (He even had good music ideas - one more way to learn Australia!). The van is very comfortable.
Highly recommended. Thanks, Peter, for a great day.

(Sorry, it's taken me nearly a year to get round to doing this review!)
We had already had a guided tour of Sydney with Peter a couple of weeks previously, so being picked up for this tour was like meeting an old friend again. As we headed out of Sydney towards the Blue Mountains I discovered to my delight that Peter, like myself was a jazz fan. He introduced me to a very good Australian band, The Catholics, and I was able to point him towards a few European acts.
I have mobility difficulties, but Peter had carefully tailored the tour to suit me,. His knowledge of where to park, and where to go for the best views with minimal walking was excellent.
We saw stunning views, all the major sites as well as a jaw-dropping ride on the scenic railway, all the time with Peter taking the greatest care over timing and accessibility. We dined at the Petalura Eatery - highly recommended if you have the time and a very empty stomach!
Fantastic day out, really enjoyed it and cannot praise Peter enough for his personal attention to detail.

Peter took us on a wonderful tour of Blue Mountain today. My husband and I enjoyed the activities at Scenic World and the stunning scenery at the lookouts he chose to stop at. We appreciated his efforts to avoid the crowds and make the experience a thoroughly pleasant one. Peter is an excellent and considerate guide and we recommend his services without reservation.

On a recent trip to Australia, my wife and I booked a tour with Bailey's Sydney Tours to introduce us to the beauty of the Blue Mountains outside Sydney. Peter Bailey greeted us at our hotel with a very comfortable van for the two-hour drive to the mountains. There, we spent several hours at Scenic World, hiking and enjoying the fantastic scenery. Peter stayed with us during our hike, providing very knowledgeable and interesting commentary about the area and its history. He planned our trek through the park to avoid crowds and to maximize our time enjoying its natural beauty. Following a late lunch in a picturesque nearby town, Peter drove us back to Sydney, all the while answering our myriad questions about Australia. Peter is a great conversationalist and was a very enjoyable companion for the day. Upon returning to my hotel room, I discovered that my wallet was missing. After several panic stricken minutes we texted Peter, who found my wallet in his van and had it back to me in ten minutes. Our tour with Peter was a 5-star experience. Thank you Peter, for a great day.

We booked an 8-hour private tour for five to the Blue Mountains with Peter Bailey. The tour was in mid-January, 2019, and we booked it several months in advance. Since we were arriving in Sydney at 6 a.m. and boarding our cruise ship at mid-afternoon, we had several hours to kill.
It turned out to be perfect! Peter was one of the most amiable folks we encountered on this trip.
In making the initial reservation, I corresponded with Peter several times via email to make specific arrangements, and he offered several options for stops and other amenities. Because we landed in Sydney earlier than expected, the cruise line transported us from the airport to a hotel hospitality room at the base of the Harbour Bridge, and Peter picked us up at exactly the re-arranged time. (due to the last-minute time and location changes, I was able to modify the pickup arrangements with Peter via text messages, and he even texted me a picture of his VW van.)
From there on, everything went according to plan. He even made lunch reservations at a nice restaurant for the six of us. After seeing the sights, we still had some additional time to utilize; so he offered us the alternatives of visiting the paid-admission parks (Scenic World/Featherdale) or to drop us off at the Olympic Stadium ferry terminal, then take the public transit ferry back to the Sydney Harbour area where he would pick us up and shuttle us to our ship. We chose the ferry option, and we're glad we did! For just a few bucks apiece, we had an hour tour of the harbour with seven passenger pickup stops at some very interesting locations. He met us near the Opera House, and 15 minutes later we were boarding our ship.
We five jetlagged Americans were very appreciative of our adventure and of the fact that we'd made a new friend. Also, the price was very reasonable.
ADVICE:
-- Book early!
-- Don't be afraid to ask Peter for his advice. He's there to please you!
-- If you have time, include the Harbour Ferry in your plans. It was delightful!

We're landing in Sydney at 6:15 a.m. on January 13 and, after arrival/customs, will be taken to our ship. Boarding is in the afternoon. During this 5-6 hour wait, we'd like someone the take the five of us to the Blue Mountains and return early evening for our boarding. The ship leaves the next day. Can you customize our tour to accommodate this time frame?
