Mark is a wonderful tour guide - Our tour guide was Mark and we were very grateful to his enthusiasm and liveliness in this trip. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily and we could not even view Blue Mountain visibly due to the cloudiness. We were the first to arrive at Featherdale and my child absolutely enjoyed feeding the Kangaroos.

As the rain begins to clear, the tour continues with a guided bushwalk at Wentworth Falls. Wander through enchanting tea-tree forests and fern gullies, all leading to breathtaking views of the Jamison Valley. The misty waters cascading over the rocky cliffs create a mesmerizing scene, perfect for those who appreciate the raw beauty of nature.

Very great experience with our amazing guide Ben - I had a really really great tour to the Blue Mountains today with Ben. He was super nice, very knowledgeable and kept us entertained for the entire trip. We were also lucky to only have been 2 guests on the tour which made it even more special.
