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!

A paradise for nature lovers and thrill seekers unfortunately, our time was limited. - The Blue Mountains is west of Sydney in Australia’s New South Wales. dramatic scenery, steep cliffs, eucalyptus forests, waterfalls and villages dotted with guesthouses and gardens. Katoomba, a major town in the area, borders Blue Mountains National Park and its bushwalking trails. Echo Point affords views of the storied Three Sisters sandstone rock formation. Darren was an excellent driver and guide. He was kind and attentive to our every need, kept us well fed, we have been given great convenience. We happy and feel comfortable

From pick up to drop off ten out of ten. - Our driver, Dave, was fantastic. His commentary was full of interesting information always delivered with a touch of humour. In the mountains he stopped several times in off the beaten track spots to explain different aspects of the area. The day passed SO quickly and with the river cruise back to the city the day ended perfectly. HIGHLY recommend Blue Ribbon Day tours to anyone wanting a genuinely interesting day out in the Blue Mountains with a safe and entertaining driver.

Very efficient booking process and the tour is pure quality. - We used this company for both a city Sydney tour and plus a trip o the blue mountains. We had two different guides and both were Sydney locals and super knowledgeable. We were shown all over Sydney from 8am to 4pm..such a beautiful city. And the mountains took the cake so to speak, it was a magical crisp autumn day with lovely colours in the trees. We got to see many vantage points of the canyon and saw lots of parrots and local flora. What a fantastic 2 days we had, made by this company.

A great family trip. - It's the perfect way to spend a whole day in Sydney with your family going to the Blue mountain. Good family bonding taking a private tour where you have the guide to yourselves. He can design the day to suit your likes which is exactly what Dave did. We had quality time at Scenicworld where you can rides multiple times which the kids loved. Saw all the main attractions and even time in Leura for a short shop. A great day.

Couldn't be any better - super day ! - This days outing from Sydney to the Blue mountains was better than we envisaged. The private tour for just us certainly enhances the experience and Dave makes it even better with good communications, comfy ride, and the little touches of things he had during his 30 years as a guide. The Grand Canyon speaks for itself in beauty together with the different ways to view it, from the Gondolas, to the valley Boardwalk and numerous looking out points, it's he very best day.

We loved the private tour into the Blue mountain with Dave as our guide. - The mountain views are exceptional Al we had the most perfect day with 22 degrees .Dave showed us all around the mountain as if it was his own backyard. Would do it all again . Highly recommend.

excellent, if expensive , personal trip - our tour guide was excellent. Darren. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Its not a cheap trip at all. But without a guide I doubt I would have done as much as we did.......walks through the mountains, scenic view points, history, nice towns for lunch, wild life centre, and scenic centre for cable cars, views and mining ....ending with river cruise back to Circular quay. pack for a variety of weathers.
