What are people saying about Sydney

kerry_s, May 2026

Worth every penny!!!

The day was packed full of great experiences. Dave our driver/tour guide was brilliant with a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm that kept us interested throughout. Great views, loads of Kangaroos and Wombats. It was exactly what we wanted. Having done other trips since arriving in Sydney this is definitely the one I would recommend. If you only take one trip whilst visiting, you should definitely do this one.

Blue Mountains Day Trip from Sydney Including Scenic World

A delightful taste of the best animals, mountains and nature close to Sydney

An enjoyable tour, starting off at Feathersdale National Park, where you get a first encounter with Australian animals (loved the koalas and wallabies). Then off to Blue Mountains with a s short stop for lunch at Leura, with several options again for all tastes in just a 45 minutes. In the Rock Mountains we had 2 hours in scenic world enough to try all rides plus a short walk in the rainforest which was magnificent. Unfortunately the weather was not good, rainy and foggy so only 1 person was bold enough to hike to the Sisters in the last stop. Finally return through the Olympic village to the ferry and through a 30-minute ride to Darlington Harbour. Aaron was a very enjoyable guide/driver, who even went back to find a missing person, after he dropped us off at the Blue Mountains.

Very nice experience had a great time very pretty well worth the money Bruce our tour guide was well. Knowledgeable answered all the questions we had. The only issue we had was once the tour was over after the river cruise. We had to find our own way back to our drop off spot. The advertisement says that we would be dropped off at the pick up spot.

Superb tour

Well organised excursion made really interesting by the attentive tour guide who was very knowledgeable on the attractions visited as well as Australian history and culture. The travel time was made further enjoyable by listening to Australian music. Thank you for a memorable day.. Plenty of comfort breaks with freedom to purchase own refreshments.

Was a great tour. The time got changed a few times but that didn’t bother us as we were free all day. It was a 6 seater aircraft, 5 in the back and 1 in the front with the captain. Got great views of Sydney Opera House, Manly beach and other suburbs! Would definitely recommend. We were in the air for approx 20 mins.

Wonderful and informative

Well worth it, don’t be put off with the 300 stairs, not all in one go and fairly gentle. Beautiful architecture and history. Imy, our tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She has a good sense of humour which I enjoyed. The tour was fun, interesting and informative. I would definitely recommend this one.

Excellent tour of the Blue Mountains, Lunch, Featherlland and more with Jay

Jay was an excellent upbeat tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. The trip gave you a condensed day of the Blue Mountain highlights, Lunch, Featherdale Wildlife Park with a drop off at the ferry we took back to Circular Quay which was a perfect ending. On our drive Jay gave us lots of local information and history. He also had a great sense of humor. We rode the cable car as well as the tram down to the rainforest/old mines then a cable car back up. Jay was interactive and protective. Great guide. I almost didn't choose the tour with the lunch but glad I did as it was a very nice lunch in a quaint restaurant on the return route. Featherdale was well worth the stop to see the care taken of endangered native animals. Nice variety, interactive and intimate size of the locale. At the end of the tour we said our goodbye to Jay at the ferry. The ferry was a nice way to tour back along the river (1/2 hour), under the bridge and past the Opera House to Circular Quay to end of the day. Highly recommended this condensed excursion. It didn't seem rushed although I would love to go back and spend more time at the locations.

Pleasant Excursion

The boat was comfortable throughout the trip, and the views were absolutely spectacular. A well-rounded and memorable experience.

Sydney Attractions Pass: SEA LIFE Aquarium, Sydney Tower Eye, WILD LIFE Zoo and Madame Tussauds

Priyanka_B, Dec 2025

Really nice aquarium for kids and adults

We were passing by the aquarium when my son demanded we visit it :) So I quickly looked up tickets deals and found this two attractions in 24 h option which was half the price of a single attraction ticket. The aquarium was totally worth a visit. Unfortunately we didn't have time to see the shark experience but toured most of the other attractions. Highly recommend it for at least 2-3 hours.
