We had a fabulous experience. Our guide, Grant, was informative, professional and friendly. The nature was stunning and the animal encounter and the boat trip were great fun indeed.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed traveling to and learning about the Blue Mountains and the surrounding areas. Our guide, can't recall her name did a wonderful job throughout the day. Pleasantly surprised that we had a great time at the zoo. If possible, we recommend you take advantage of the photo opportunity with the koala bears. You get to see them (can't touch) very close and can take as many photos as you wish. Only reason we gave it 4 stars, not 5 is that it is a very long day and some times can be reduced to shorten the trip.
Peter_S, Apr 2026
Excellent tour and great value for money .
Tour guide Kat was with us all day and was VERY knowledgable and funny !
Definately recommended.
Tammy_F, Apr 2026
Comprehensive, informative and wonderful scenery at the Blue Mountains, great lunch, awesome zoo. Kunal did a fantastic job. Thank you so much!
Kim_K, Apr 2026
This was a great small group tour. Our guide Koala (I don’t remember how to spell his name, so he said Koala would work) was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Highly recommend
Gerry_N, Apr 2026
Great value that includes a full day excursion with a nice, gourmet lunch. Jake was an awesome tour guide.
James_B, Apr 2026
This was a brilliant tour to do, we had a small group and the tour guide Rin was so good with us. It was an early start, but well worth it. Would recommend this anyone. Thank you
Vipul_P, Apr 2026
We had a fantastic time visiting the Blue Mountains, the zoo, and many more places. Our tour guide Rin made the trip really memorable and one of the top days during our time in Sydney.
Wayne_H, Apr 2026
Truly fantastic experience with a terrific guide, superb pacing, and a variety of activities. Highly recommend.
Philip_Y, Apr 2026
What a great tour! And great tour company and guide! Grant was fantastic!! He needs a raise! The blue mountain tour was great! What a beautiful area! The world steepest train/tram is exceptional as is the walk through the rain forest and the aerial cable cars provided fantastic views. I highly recommend using this tour company!

Our guide Axel was the best! He made the whole day seamless from pick up to drop off! Great experience!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Heather, we’re so happy to hear Axel made your day seamless from pick‑up to drop‑off. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to him!
Paul_I, Apr 2026
What a nice tour. A lot to pack in to one day. Kat was a great, knowledgeable guide.
Make sure to take the small, steep car on the way down. We didn’t and took it up. Don’t let your guide have you take it up. Insist on taking it down or you’ll miss out.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much Paul! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Blue Mountains tour and that Kat’s friendly, knowledgeable guiding made it special
Caitlyn_H, Apr 2026
We were incredibly lucky to have beautiful clear weather for our trip into the Blue Mountains! We were able to see the Three Sisters perfectly along with the mountains as a whole. We would have enjoyed more time to relax at the Three Sisters stop but the day was packed with lots of great stops and information. Our tour guide Kunal shared so much interesting history about Australia. It was nice to get so much background on the country. Our group got to go to the Sydney Zoo to see a lot of Australian animals. It was a quick stop but was a great opportunity to see kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and more. Would recommend this tour for anyone with limited time that really wants to get a taste of the mountains and an escape from the city while on a trip to Sydney.
Jim_O, Apr 2026
It was an outstanding tour. Mark, did an outstanding job of engaging the group. Provided a full narration and answered everyones questions. The lunch was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour.
Angela_F, Apr 2026

Check the weather forecast. It's cooler in the mtns.
Michele_D, Apr 2026
Excellent trip, Marc was fantastic. He not only gave you a great experience but was an excellent tour guide.
Tanya_Y, Apr 2026
It was a great experience. We enjoyed the tour and the tour guide. Recommend this excursion to anyone
Allan_C, Apr 2026
Overall tour was great but bus was too small. Not enough legroom for tall people. All the tour stops were excellent
Stephen_T, Apr 2026
Had a fantastic day. Nothing could have gone better, the timing of everything was spot on. We had plenty of time at each stop. Our guide and driver (Axel) for the day was great, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and really looked after us from pick up to dropping us off at the ferry.
The Blue mountains are unmisable if your visiting Sydney.
Vanessa_B, Apr 2026
We had a fantastic day. Tom our guide was friendly and full of knowledge of the blue mountains. The day ran smoothly and by attending the tour we saw and experienced a lot more than just visiting the blue mountains on own . Thanks Tom for a great day.
Valerie_M, Apr 2026
The views were amazing, our tour guide Jay gave us lots of information. He was very knowledgeable and very understanding. I would totally recommend this tour.
j747x5gyxk, Apr 2026
An exceptional experience with an exceptional guide Joan was knowledgeable, courteous, and he really looked after us. 👍
Alastair_M, Apr 2026
What a day with Jay.
Saw far more than we expected absolutely breathtaking scenery up in the mountains, lunch was great, the journey home on the ferry was brilliant but whilst the zoo visit did not spoil the day it was not for me and I thought Sydney zoo was a very poor advert for zoos.
DaleS_M, Apr 2026
We had a great day with Anderson tours. Our guide Rin, was very good. The sound system in the van was very good and Rin’s commentary came through very clearly. Even my husband who is hard of hearing could hear what Rin said.
Rin had a great sense of humour, and made the trip fun. Very knowledgeable and it was obvious she loves her job. Had a great lunch at a cute little restaurant. We stopped frequently to see different sites.
Leonidas_C, Apr 2026
What a fantastic tour that was! Kat, our guide was exceptional! In-depth knowledge of Australian history and all landmarks. She literally knows every single meter of what's around both in the city and the blue mountains! Never in my life had such an extensive description and details of what we visited and what we were passing while driving.
Extremely friendly and cool and very kind!
Blue mountains were breathtaking! Had some issues with the rainfall during the morning but fortunately things improved afterwards. Don't miss the opportunity though no matter the weather is to visit the place and observation areas!
Thanks Kat! You were simply amazing!
Julie_S, Apr 2026
The tour was amazing. Grant gave us a full education through out the day on the islands history, geography, industry and people. He made it fun and he is funny. A true Ozzie!
Rodney_B, Apr 2026
