Green tour with the Sydney sunset on the ferry - Our tour guide was Axel. Even though it was misty, the tour guide prepared a really amazing experience for us. We took a nice refreshing walk through forest and guide explaned a lot about nature and wildlife. Axel also made an excellent zoo guidence in Sydney Zoo. He kindly escorted us on the farry to Circular Quay. We enjoyed the sunset on the boat. Sending love from Slovenia.

A magic day of sightseeing. - The vistas of the Blue mountains are the most beautiful. Doing a private tour makes the day all the better. The guide is most professional. Enjoyed Scenicworld entry for the rides and lovely boardwalk with our guide. Getting out of the city is a major attraction of this day. It was all most pleasurable, could even do it all again.

The best way to see the Blue Mountains with little effort. - If you want a reklaxing day for your family to be ushered around and have everything explained to you, taken here and there, with no fuss, then this private tour with Dave is your best option. We are from Germany and we travelled with our family of 6 in Dave's comfy van.He takes extremely good care of you. On this trip we stayed overnight in Katoomba, Dave also stayed nearby, and we had 2 brilliant days. Having been before, this time we did and saw different parts, likee, out to Govetts Leap and even time to ride on the steam train Truly amazing.

Really great day out! - Visiting from the UK, stayed 6 days in Sydney and keen to see the Blue Mountains. This tour was really good. Dave the guide incredibly knowledgeable, picked us up at our hotel and drove us up to the mountains. Weather wasn’t great but he still managed to find us a view and avoided queues. He also recommended a lovely place for lunch. Finished off with wildlife park and river trip back to Sydney. Thoroughly recommend.

Just for us and the guide. - This day was so pleasurable again in the Blue Mountains. We went to Sydney to see the Pink concert and rang Dave the day before to try his private tour instead of being on a bus with 20 other folk. He showed us parts of the mountains that were more remote that you don’t get to see in a bus trip. We never get tired of visiting the mountains. Thanks Dave you are a gem.

Had the best day ever on a tour. - Going to the Blue Mountains you need Dave. Extremely knowledgeable about all things Sydney also flora and fauna. Particularly enjoyed the railway and gondolas in Katoomba plus brilliant viewpoints. Nice last stop in Leura to visit some cute shops. and a coffee. The ferry return was a great relax after a full day.
