A PERFECT CUSTOMIZED DAY TRIP TO THE BLUE MOUNTAINS - My husband and I are active seniors who have had a tour of the Blue Mountains on our "bucket list" for several years. David worked with us to personalize our tour to our interests and abilities. He assured that we got the best of views of the mountains and waterfalls and vistas, even it we preferred to limit our hiking any great distance on unpaved paths. On our first stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park, he gave us a terrific overview and description of many of the animals, including the intriguing Pademelons. He also gave us time to explore on our own. He made sure I got the best-possible photos of birds and animals of interest. At Glenbrook, we got a terrific view of Wentworth Falls. We decided not to hike down to, and swim under, under the falls. He assured we still experienced impressiveness of the falls. All along the way, David went above and beyond to get us the best of views and experiences. We viewed the Three Sisters from two different viewpoints. I suggest taking the time for a pub lunch in Katoomba. It is a good opportunity to feel like a "local" and to relax mid-trip. We also enjoyed the stop in the mountain village of Leura where we could briefly browse in shops. Our tour with David could not have been more delightful, educational, and thrilling.

Fab day in the Blue Mountains - David was a great host on our trip to the beautiful Blue Mountains. Our itinerary wishes were listened to and David’s knowledge of the area and other tours was invaluable as he took us to some of the iconic viewpoints at less busy times of the day. Thanks so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us as you drove us in comfort through the awesome scenery.

Personal and professional— a wonderfully customized tour with the best tour guide/driver - Driver Dave fully customized our tour— he is extremely knowledgeable sharing his years of experience guiding folks through the beautiful Blue Mountains. He took us to views well off the trodden path and avoided the big bus tours of crowds. We also visited the Ferndale Animal rescue park— what a delight overall and we can’t recommend Dave and his brand new Mercedes van!

Great Escape the Crowds opportunity with David - David’s Blue Mountains Escape the Crowds tour was exactly what we were seeking. Not only did we avoid the crowds; David took us to gorgeous vistas of the Three Sisters where we were unbelievably the only people there! He is a very knowledgeable guide and enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the cultural history, terrain, flora and fauna throughout the tour. We loved the flexibility of the day, as we were given choices throughout. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who doesn’t want to clump along with the tour buses and desires a personalized experience!

Highly Recommend - Escape the Crowds and David - Visiting the Blue Mountains for a day trip with David did not disappoint! David was punctual, friendly, courteous, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable about Australia, Sydney and The Blue Mountains area. Hi car is clean and comfortable and he really went out of his way to personalize the experience for us. We visited Featherdale where we had close encounters with the animals, we took a gorgeous hike up Wentworth Falls and saw the famous Three Sisters as David regaled us with myths, legends and geological facts about how they were formed. We enjoyed a wonderful pub lunch and poked through a quirky local town. David is wonderful - we highly recommend his SUV tour!

A fantastic Blue Mountains private trip - We had a fantastic tour to the Blue Mountains with our guide, David. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, right on time, his professionalism and knowledge were evident. He gave us insightful commentary on the region and vegetation. His flexibility with timing allowed us to explore the area at our own pace. David made sure we saw all the designated spots and accommodated our request to be dropped off at Circular Quay. It was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Blue Mountains!

Excellent private tour of Blue Mountains. - We opted for a private tour of the Blue Mountains with David who was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us craft the perfect tour once he understood our priorities/preferences. He was flexible and he knew some pretty cool out of the way stops to get some great views and avoid tourists. We highly recommend booking this tour should your travels take you to Sydney.

The Upside and Downside: A Private Tour in a Small SUV - This private tour gave us an opportunity to customize our day, with a stop in a town called Glenbrook and to the tourist information center there. We were able to stop at places that were not very crowded and the driver was knowledgable about the birds that we came across. The tour itself of the Blue Mountains was good. The downside to this tour was that there was no speaker system in the car, so it was difficult to hear what the driver was saying at times. On a private tour with another company the day before, the driver put on a head set that amplified throughout the back of the van so her voice was crystal clear to us in the back seat. However, with this private tour, the outside road noise heard inside the car was loud because this was a smaller Toyota SUV. My friend said it was very uncomfortable in the back passenger seat since we were sitting for long periods of time. The picture of the vehicle is on the site, which looks like a large SUV, but it is nothing close to it. It was definitely not a luxury SUV by any means. Bottom line, if you're looking for flexibility in your sightseeing day, this driver can do it. However, if you're expecting a luxury SUV to tour in, this is not the tour for you.
