  • Wentworth Falls Lookout - Incredible canyon views, waterfall pictures and cliff edge hikes. There are a few walks to choose from that go down to or overlook the Wentworth Falls or Empress Falls at the Valley of the Waters which is a harder walk. Depending on our time and fitness levels I will recommend this walk or some easier walks in the surrounding area.

Perfect Private Tour - Ben was a fantastic guide! Very punctual and took care of everything. The views were amazing and it is clear that Ben has a lot of knowledge of the area. Wouldn’t have wanted to see the Blue Mountains any other way! Highly recommend.

Amazing day trip with Ben - Ben was great with communication and so knowledgeable! We truly had an experience that afforded us history, beauty, rainforests, cockatoos, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, valleys, local artists murals, the steepest incline rail, history on coal mining in Blue Mountains, prisoner history on building roads and the Lennox Bridge. Short easy hikes to accommodate our group, leisurely paces allowed us enough time to see everything and more than we had anticipated. Ben chose the Bowery for lunch and it did not disappoint, great food. We feel like we were able to experience and learn so much from the many areas he took us, the towns we drove through Ben shared history and some personal childhood experiences. Ben explained the aboriginal history and what the names of the towns meant, he fielded many questions for us. He was patient, personable and by the end of day, we felt like friends. We also had a bit of time to souvenir shop. The three sisters, the orphan, the boars head, the overlooks and waterfalls were all amazing stops! Would not have changed a thing. If I could give more than 5 stars we would. An amazing day trip at a nice pace, filled with new adventures❤️

The Blue Mountains - A MUST ADVENTURE - What an amazing adventure. Our day started with guide, Ben, picking us up from our hotel. We stopped at several lookouts and Scenic World on the way to Wentworth Falls. Lunch was a local pub. The three sisters (4 including the baby) and the views along the way were incredible but the Falls were the piece de résistance and worth the climb! Ben is full of interesting stories and facts about the area. Definitely recommend!

Great tour, great value - Ben was an excellent guide. He took us to the zoo where we were able to hand feed a kangaroo and an emu. We also got our picture taken with a koala. We then spent a lot of time hiking to waterfalls and seeing the three sisters from all different angles. Lunch was amazing as well. Highly recommend this tour and the guide

Perfect day! - What a perfect day! The Blue Mountains, 3 Sisters, Scenic World etc.. were so beautiful. We had an awesome tour guide, Ben who shared with us many insights into the areas we visited, along with info about Sydney as well, and other interesting facts about all of AUS. Ben was engaging and made the day so much fun! We felt very lucky to have picked this tour and to have Ben as our guide! We hope to return someday and have Ben show us around again. Thanks again Ben for making our last day in AUS so special!

Perfect day at the Blue Mountains! - This was a perfect day out seeing the Blue Mountains! Ben, our tour guide, was splendid! Prompt and kind, he was highly knowledgeable about the area, and shared facts with us about the mountains, animals and plant life. The drive to and from the mountains was smooth, and he had bottles of water for us as well. Ben communicated with us before AND during the tour, sculpting an experience that included all the things we really wanted to see and do. The hikes weren't too strenuous, but there were always moments to stop if we needed to. The waterfalls were gorgeous, the rainforest crisp and cool, and we also had the chance to do Scenic World, and even take a lunch break with a stunning view. Pacing was relaxed, and Ben never rushed anything. Highly recommend and would do again!

Two 60 Somethings enjoy a day in the Blue Mountains. - Great day out with Ben to see a small part of the Blue Mountains National Parks. We added in a visit to Scenic World, which we really enjoyed. Ben adapted our private tour to avoid the crowds and to take into account our stiff joints to make sure we still had a great experience. His local knowledge made the trip even more enjoyable. Fully recommend

Australia's Blue Mountains - A Must See!! - Visiting the Blue Mountains was an unforgettable journey through one of Australia's most iconic landscapes. The hiking trails Ben took us on were a perfect balance of challenge and reward, catering to our skill level. His wealth of knowledge, passion for adventure, and genuine hospitality transformed what could have been a simple excursion into an immersive and transformative experience. For anyone seeking to explore the wonders of the Blue Mountains, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this journey with Ben as your guide.

Great personalized tour! - Ben was fabulous! We discussed our wish list ahead of time and he was on it! We included a stop at the zoo first. He had pre-purchased early admission tickets and we buzzed right ahead of the crowds. The weather wasn’t great, but we still saw some beautiful views! Ben joined us for a tasty lunch in Katoomba. He was polite, informative and patient with us (Americans)! He has travelled the world over and shared many of his exciting adventures. We really enjoyed our day!
