Well rounded tour! - Fantastic vistas and photo ops. Time to explore Richmond - cutest little town! The wildlife sanctuary is intimate and close up, holding koalas are no longer allowed. Small group, comfortable seating and Paul was a wealth of information. You can see his passion for his work.

One day in Sydney - We had one full day in Sydney so we had to make choices with our time. We prefer nature and active exploration, so for our first time on this beautiful continent it was the perfect option. We also wanted to avoid tourist traps. This was unequivocally the right choice. Eamonn had us in good hands the whole day and was very knowledgeable about each stop. The hike is very manageable but be aware it is not a kiddie ride. Lunch was very good. The veg option was better and tastier than the regular.

A long bus ride, but we'll worth the investment in time - We had a great time on our Blue Mountains Wildlife Sights and Hiking. Our guide Aemonn, was very informative and went out if his way to make sure we had a good time. He even added a side trip when it appeared the Three Sisters would be covered in fog (the fog cleared in enough time). The hike was a little strenuous with a number of steps to descend and climb, but the views were spectacular. The trip left us wishing we could spend more time in the Blue Mountains, but given the distance from Sydney, it afforded a nice taste of the area.

Hiking and touring Blue Mountains - Wonderful tour. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, and the views were incredible. The hike is a bit challenging so make sure to pace yourself! Petting the koala and the kangaroo is a nice bonus.

Incredible wild life experience - Private tour in awesome places. Wild life was the best! And although the day was cloudy and rainy landscapes were beautiful.

Pray for good weather - While our tour guide, Kathy, did EVERYTHING in her power to make the best of the day, constant rain meant ZERO visibility for any legitimate “views.” And there was no hiking whatsoever. I know the “operator reserved the right to alter the experience based on weather”.. other non-controllables, yada-yada, the conditions were completely predictable and I would have appreciated the opportunity to spend one of my few days in Sydney doing something else (with or without a refund!). I felt a bit trapped in an experience that was going to be weak from the outset.
