A perfect day excursion. - Our journey out to the mountains from Sydney was perfect. The private style tour made all the difference to our enjoyment. No waiting for others it is a very amazing day of scenery, fresh air and learning about the environment. We will be happy to recommend this tour.

Family private trip excellent. - Our family wanted to not be on a bus with others. Our Sheraton hotel recommended this one. They fetched us at 8am and in 90 minutes we were in Katoomba standing at the impressive 3 Sisters. The canyon is immense and blue. Our guide suggested Scenicworld rides, which cost $59 and is really a must do to see the views and forest from alternate places. Really good chats by our guide and we took the ferry back to the city. It is a top day.

Worthy of their rating. - My partner and I fully support the other reviews on the quality of this private tour. We based our tour selection purely on reviews for Private tours and Dave was a gem. The mountain scenery speaks for itself, but the total experience is enhanced by Dave's driving skills and he is a mine of information. He explains how he has done these tours for so many years and that sure shows through. Is there nothing he doesn't know ? Well done, mate. His son Darren was also driving a tour that day and we met the other guests too, we all sat down for lunch. You can see he has trained up Darren too, our lunch ended up like we were all family.

A great family day out. - Our family with our 2 teenage girls enjoyed immensely our day in the Blue Mountains with Dave. We had fun on the Katoomba rides, enjoyed his dialogue on the rainforest board walk and to end the day at Featherdales animal Park was the best.The mountain scenery is incredible. A tour to recommend to all.

It’s a “Grand Canyon”. - So close to Sydney is the Blue mountain, we were in Katoomba in only 90 minutes. Of course it made a difference doing the tour with just us and a nice guide. We came to look at the Three sisters, ride on the train and gondola and see a waterfall.. Also an easy forest walk . The day was complete with the lovely ferry back to the city. Avery nice day, thank you.

Incredible day. - This was a tour just for my family with our 12 and 14 y old boys. Everyone said to see the Blue mountains so we searched the reviews and came up with Dave's private trips. It was a full on day from 7am until evening, we could have gone on but it was so much to see it was enough, so so brilliant the air and vistas of the Blue to beyond, the gondolas and train in Katoomba, lookouts, a relaxed stop in Leura town for coffee and home to the hotel. Dave is a wonderful ambassador for his country, he sure is good at it, as he explains everything, he is so well versed. Thanks a million !

They went out of their way. - Our family opted for the private tour as we stayed out of town at Parramatta. It was great service to pick us up with our 3 kids. We went up to the mountain and it was not so far away, just over an hour. It was not high so the road climb was gentle. First stop in a cute town called Leura. Then they took us to places to see the canyon, some away from the tourists. The gorge and so many gum trees is a spectacle. We paid the extra $60 each to ride the rail and cableways, such a thrill. It was so convenient our guise went off his way to drop us right back at our hotel at 6pm, what service to top off a fab day for all.
