    I cannot recommend this trip enough.it was an amazing day. Our tour guide Tony was brilliant. He gave a very useful and informative commentary on the local area including the local wildlife and history. He also varied the order of the rides at Sky World to avoid the crowds. The blue mountains are stunning and a trip to Sydney isn’t compete without seeing these. Photos and words don’t do the blue mountains justice. You need to see them. Was also great to have the opportunity to feed kangaroos at the wildlife park. The boat ride back to Sydney was also glorious. Thankyou Tony for a great day

    We highly recommend this all day excursion. Our guide, “Scotty”, was both informative and entertaining. He was very flexible in terms of making sure we saw the incredible views of the Blue Mountains. When it was foggy at the first scheduled stop, we traveled on to another vantage point which provided breathtaking vistas. We later returned to the first spot after the fog cleared to ensure that we didn’t miss anything.
    Scenic World was fun with the various modes of transportation and a 30 minute walk through the rain forest. The little town where we stopped for lunch had every possible option for food. We picnicked outside under the blossoming cherry trees and then did a bit of shopping, which was the perfect mid day break.
    Sydney Zoo was interesting, although a bit smaller than expected. Loved seeing the Australian animals.
    The day ended with a ferry ride home which was a nice last touch to the tour. We sat outside, enjoying the cool breeze and the sights from the water.
    Great day overall.

    Really great tour, the people running it were very informed about whales and respectful of them.
    We were lucky enough to see whales for over an hour.
    Great thing about this tour is it is small and there is sufficient space for everyone to see the whales.

    A perfect day trip to experience all the things Sydney has to offer. I was only in Sydney for about 48 hours, so to be able to experience so much in a day was exactly what I was looking for. Other Steve is a lovely tour guide

    Three key attractions in the Blue mountains Sydney are covered. Pickup arranged from various convenient locations and CBD hotels. Also includes a trip to a suburban zoo. An informative and friendly tour guide makes it more enjoyable. Ideal for a small family or couples.

    If you’re visiting Sydney and want to see wombats in the wild, this is the way to do it. Dave drives about a dozen people to out a place in Royal National Park where a colony of wombats lives. A couple of decent side stops along the way in order to make a day of it, arriving shortly before the wombats come out to munch on grass a bit before dusk; we probably saw 20 over an hour or so. There’s also a fair number of kangaroos/wallabies there, and echidnas if you’re lucky (we saw two on the way back). Five stars, for delivering exactly as promised.

    This was a well planned and coordinated day and we very much enjoyed it. The first stop, Featherdale zoo is a treat, getting to feed the animals early before many other guests arrive. The animal exhibits were good and very visible for the most part. Great way to see Australia's iconic and unique animals.

    Blue Mountains National Park is stunning. Our guide, Andrew, was very engaging and provided great commentary throughout the day. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful. Be sure to bring a jacket for the winds!

    Overall, this tour was a really great way to see this beautiful national park from our Sydney hotel.

    We really enjoyed this all day tour! Aimonn from AEA Tours was our tour guide and he did an excellent job of providing very interesting commentary and information throughout the day.
    We really enjoyed the Calmsley Hill City Farm and all the other beautiful sights this tour had to offer, we were also blessed with really great weather during the entire day so that definitely made the trip even more memorable.
    We decided not to purchase the lunch that was extra with the package so we had lunch at the deli inside the Hydro Majestic Hotel and it was really tasty.
    I would highly recommend this adventure if you are visiting Sydney!

    You can't beat the views over the Blue Mountains. You also need a good guide The weather was clear so just breathtaking views. Me and my 2 friends who haven't been here before came for our friend's wedding and made a private tour. Dave made our day so enjoyable and planned it to perfection.

    Very memorable and exciting adventure with lots of beautiful whale sightings. The staff was very attentive to us and every passenger was taken care of while watching. All in all it was a great trip! By the way, remember to take seasickness pills in advance if you get seasick!
