The REAL Sydney experience - We were blown away by this experience! Menashe with Zanza Tours Australia put together a perfect day in the Blue Mountains. The food, sights, animals and spiritual experience with the Aboriginal guide through the rainforest are lifetime memories. Leave the busy city and enjoy the beauty of the land. Cancel any other tours you may have and book with Zanza. THIS is the Sydney tour you want.

Simply amazing, we recommend it highly - Amazing tour, no hurry, but we enjoyed everything plus a stop that wasn’t on the schedule (Olympic Park) and took photos. The tea and scones were excellent. The pie for lunch were delicious. And most importantly our guides were both fantastic. It’s obvious that Manashe has embraced the culture of Australia and he has a wealth of knowledge. He kept the drive interesting and the time flew by. Yamandirra is so wonderful, explaining the real Australian Aboriginal lives. We were so grateful for his hospitality and cultural sharing. Our walk was so informative and we enjoyed learning about medical plants along the way❤️💕💕❤️

Blue mountains aboriginal experience - Had an amazing experience at the Blue Mountains Aboriginal tour experience! Menashe was very accommodative of our dietary needs, going out of his way to assist with them. He was also a fountain of knowledge with regards to Australian culture and history. Booking with him was a seamless experience as well and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip from start to finish. The aboriginal experience with Yamandirra was spectacular as well as we learnt a lot about the different plants, Aboriginal customs and traditions. Would definitely recommend this trip for those looking for an immersive cultural and natural experience

Highly Recommended Tour - I was glad I booked the tour with the Aboriginal Experience instead of one of the usual ones that use the cable car one. While you have to be somewhat fit to participate in this one (lots of stairs up and down) it gives a lot more insight. Our amazing Aboriginal guide gave great information on his culture, the relationship with nature and other things. He showed us some edible plants and educated us on their usage in healing. We saw waterfalls, amazing rock formations and animals you would not see when using the cable car excursion. After the Blue Mountains and lunch, which was included in the price, we went to a nature center where we could see kangaroos, koalas, penguins and other native animals up close and even pet some. Our driver/guide also gave great information and made sure we were all well taken care of.
