We had limited time available, so we elected a one day tour of the Blue Mountains. Since Anderson Tours offered small groups, we chose them. It was a wonderful choice! Scotty, our driver/guide, was full of useful and interesting information, all presented with good Australian humor. He was even an excellent bird spotter and identifier for the birders among us. The tour was terrific. We saw the best of the area -- forest, mountains, viewpoints, rides. Scotty managed to squeeze in some extra-special viewpoints in addition to the listed ones. He invited us to send new questions if we needed info on what we had seen! The river cruise was a nice restful way to return to Sydney. My least favorite part was the small wild animal park. It might be useful for those who have not had any other opportunity to see koalas, dingos. and wallabies. But the spaces for the animals were unattractive and not very condusive to photography.
Anderson is clearly the elite choice for those interested in a one day Blue Mtn. tour.
