A Top Notch tour. - All aspects of our blue mountains tour with Dave were spot on. From answering all our emails to hotel puck up and the day itself were incredible. The mountains are sure a day in Sydney well spent. Great scenic lookouts, thrilling rides at the Scenicworld and Dave's fascinating facts throughout make a most enjoyable day. Make sure you do the private option it's worth the extra to have his undivided attention for just yourselves.

An amazing day in the Blue Mountains - We had an absolutely fantastic private Blue Mountains tour with Dave. He picked us up right at our hotel, was perfectly on time, and thanks to his planning we beat the crowds into the mountains. The scenery was stunning, and Dave’s knowledge really brought the area to life — from the geology to the unique flora and fauna of the region. The weather couldn’t have been better, and we loved the mix of experiences, including the train ride and the boardwalks. One of the highlights was visiting the animal park — Dave timed it perfectly so we arrived right at feeding time, when all the animals were active and out and about. Dave was especially wonderful with the kids, keeping them engaged with stories and even some Australian songs along the way. Having a private tour made all the difference, allowing us to move at our own pace and really enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I truly can’t recommend Dave or this tour highly enough. It was a perfect day and a highlight of our time in Australia. ⸻

Private Blue Mountains family tour - We had amazing day with Dave our driver and guide. He got us into all the Scenic World attractions beating the queues and the crowds. He was so knowledgeable and we learnt so much. We stopped for lunch in a lovely cafe, walked around some shops and also stopped for photos at lovely look outs. Featherdale was an excellent addition too! I would highly recommend this trip as we'd never have been able to do this on our own! Thanks so much Dave!

A perfect private tour. Amazing wildlife encounters and breathtaking views - We did this tour today and honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Sydney. If you want to pack in wildlife encounters, epic views, and a super relaxing cruise back to the city, this is the way to do it. Our guide, Dave, was the biggest standout. Knowledgeable, funny, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. He tailored the stops to what we cared about and never rushed us. Seeing kangaroos and koalas up close was incredible, not just a quick photo-op but time to watch them and learn about them. The Blue Mountains portion was gorgeous. We hit lookout points we would’ve never found on our own. Lunch was great too. Great food, at a quiet local restaurant. The cruise back to Sydney at the end was the perfect way to wind down instead of sitting in traffic. Floating into the harbour with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge for our view was unreal. We were unsure what to do today and booked this tour last minute. Super glad we did. If you’re on the fence about whether a private tour is worth it, this one is. It’s a full day but never feels rushed or exhausting, and you get a ton of value packed in without doing any of the planning yourself. We would happily do it again and will recommend it to friends visiting Sydney. Highly recommend.

A complete glorious day. - Dave could have not done more for us to make the Blue mountains trip absolutely the best. We are back in Sydney just us, no kids. Loved the quiet private tour., a most relaxing day with a few short walks and some off the beaten track lookouts away from crowds. Dave knows how to do it the best way. Of course the spring weather helped the day.

Perfect day out for the whole family. - We had a great time with our 17 and 19 year old boys in the Blue Mountains who we took along with us this time for a first overseas trip with them. Our photos could not capture the grandeur of this majestic canyon. It was all enhanced by the excellent commentary by Dave. We have recommended this wonderful trip to all our friends.

The best of the best - I don’t know how this private tour could be any better. A brilliant guide, excellent cool mountain weather and views surpassing anywhere else we have been. Enjoyed mixing it with koalas and kangaroos at the zoo and a relaxed riverboat returning to the city.Thank you so much.

Breathtaking tour! - Wonderful tour!! Dave is very knowledgeable, polite, efficient and cheerful! A good driver, too. His 30+ years of experience helped us to taste the breathtaking Blue Mountains seamlessly, no hiccups, he knew exactly where to go from one point to the next to maximize our time. From the pick up at the hotel to the last stop, the river cruise, everything was just amazing. We learned about the three sisters, the fantastic railway and many more things. He took our photos, excellent choice of places for it. He knew all the views worth savoring. If it is your first visit to Australia (Sydney) please book this experience and do it at the beginning of your stay, as it will give you a beautiful perspective of Sydney, the mountains and surrounding areas. Then you can focus on the museums, pubs and dining in the city. We were worried about the hike being too wild (spiders, snakes, etc) but it was perfect, no need for mosquitoes head nets (winter time). It was a relaxing and exciting tour. The CableWay (gondola) is a must, Dave was great at pointing where and what to take photos of, the Boar's Head formation, etc. Highly recommend this tour!
