What are people saying about Sydney

Blue Mountains Mercedes Tour: Scenic World, Falls & Leura

Khamenie_P, Oct 2026

3 sisters were so beautiful 🤩

Words cannot describe the beauty of the Blue Mountains. What a great trip. Highly recommended tour. The only thing that was a little bit not great was all the stops Kyle had to make before we got on the highway to the mountains. 7 stops was a bit too much for us.

WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive

LaTia_P, Oct 2026

Waterfalls, Wallaby's and Wombats Oh My!!

This trip was amazing. Our guide was great; he respectively answered all our questions. Hands down, the best activity while on our stay in Sydney. The supper pub was delicious with hot, big portioned, chicken parmi. The wombats and roos were spectacular.

BridgeClimb Sydney

AnthonyL_W, Oct 2026

Glad We Did It!

We did the full Summit climb. It lasted about 3 hours in total and we were happy that we did it. There are definitely parts (beginning and end) that are more nerve wracking than the middle but we definitely enjoyed the experience. On way to the summit the guide took plenty of pictures as we were not allowed to take our own phones with us which made sense for safety reasons. Some people will complain that you are forced to buy photos from the tour but we knew that going in so it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, it was exciting, scary and exhilarating all at once!

Sydney Opera House Official Guided Walking Tour

Maggie_L, Oct 2026

Guided Tour

Amazing, the guide was very knowledgeable, and the Opera House was absolutely stunning and grand. The only negative thing is that Viator like most third-party booking systems don't use the same reference number that the Opera House uses so just arrive early to collect your physical ticket

Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide

Susan_B, Oct 2026

A great overview of Blue Mts.

You get a good overview of the Blue Mts. There are walks to lookout points but no time for hikes. Some of the walks involve steep inclines and stairs. Would have loved a bit more time to have a coffee/shop, but with all the sites covered, there's no extra time! Our guide was informative and personable and added to the interesting day. I like how it ended in a zoo visit and ferry ride. My only negative is that it's overpriced.

Small Group: Blue Mountains with Zoo, Koala Photo & Scenic World

Mark_E, Oct 2026

A full day of sights, but not too taxing

We booked very last minute and had good communication even with such a short window. We easily found the tour start at Central Station. We chose to wear a mask while in the bus in order to protect us from picking up any bugs for the remainder of our holiday. Our tour was on Sunday (easier traffic back to Sydney at the end) during school holidays, so things were crowded and hurried at Scenic World to stay on time. Gordon and Frank were great guides, making sure everyone was coming along and had the rest breaks that we all needed.

Shelley_N, Oct 2026

Beautiful trip, wear warm clothing

Well run and informative trip. Our guide Phil had very good local knowledge. The mountains were noticeably colder than Sydney so remember to dress warmly. The day was carefully worked out so you never felt rushed and the ferry on the Parramatta River back to Sydney a lovely added extra.

Blue Mountains Day Trip from Sydney Including Scenic World

Carmen_A, Oct 2026

Highly recommend this bus tour.

Featherdale Wildlife Park was the highlight of this tour. We saw a Tasmania devil and a cassowary. Magnificent animals! Blue Mountain glass sky cars were pretty cool too. If you enjoy being in a big tour bus while the guide points out interesting details I highly recommend this tour!

Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive

CYNTHIA_W, Oct 2026

Excellent small group tour exceeded our expectations

This was the best tour that we’ve had during our stay in Sydney. Our tour guide was JD, and he was fantastic!! The spots that he took us to had fantastic views. JD was extremely interesting and kept us engaged throughout the tour. We learned a lot about the history of Australia and the areas that we visited. JD gave us great recommendations for things to do. I highly recommend this tour. You are in for a treat if JD is your tour guide.

Blue Mountains Tour: Deluxe Small Group, ScenicWorld, Featherdale

Chanika_P, Aug 2026

Worth the day trip!

The Blue Mountains are exceptional. This was my second time seeing them and visiting Featherdale, but it was my brother’s first and he loved the entire experience. Beautiful views, nothing too strenuous activity-wise that you can’t opt out of if you have mobility challenges, and just an all-around spectacular day trip out of Sydney. If you’re lucky enough to get Rocky as your tour guide, you’re in for a treat!

Sydney Harbour Discovery Dinner Cruise Scenic Sights and Buffet

Shelagh_L, Jun 2026

Fantastic dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour

Runs on time, easy to find and the enjoyment starts as soon as you get on board. Kim is a wonderful crew member and asset. She was funny and friendly and the buffet was delicious. There were 3 birthdays on the dinner cruise and Kim encouraged us all to wish them a happy birthday. The cruise was just the right length of time. So much to see and to take photos of along the way. We would do it again.
