The tour included many activities, but we never felt rushed. We visited the Blue Mountains, the three sisters, scenic rides, the zoo, a ferry ride and an enjoyable lunch. Grant our guide did a wonderful job keeping us informed and on schedule so that we were able to enjoy all of it. Enjoy!

Best way to see the Blue Mountains

Andrew_M, Mar 2026
Great way to visit the Blue Mountains. Tour hit all the desired locations and experiences at the Blue Mountains. The smaller group size was a plus and our guide Tom was great, flawlessly leading us along the way and providing good commentary.

Really nice tour with...

Roni_F, Mar 2026
Really nice tour with some thrills as a bonus. Rin was a great tour guide, born and raised in Sydney with a lot of knowledge. Firm on timekeeping, fun and helpful. Lunch was good and a nice treat!

Great trip

Glenn_R, Mar 2026
Great trip. Kunal was an excellent guide, very informative and helpful. Made the day to Blue Zmountains very enjoyable.

Pick this tour for a great day!

kimberly_S, Mar 2026
Awesome tour. Fun and interesting. Our tour guide Kat, from Andersons tours, was fun and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the views and seeing the mountains. The zoo was great. Got to see alot of animals up close. The zoo staff were great and informative. Great demonstration of instruments. Could have used more time there, but it was great.

Perfect day tour.

Pauline_H, Mar 2026
Great experience. Great guide, great value for the money. This was the 5th tour during our 3 weeks in Australia. Qualitatively better than any other tour. It’s surprising how much better the small group experience versus the large bus tour. Everything worked like clockwork. The length of time at each of the various stops was perfect. The mix of types of stops was well-balanced. Finally, our guide, Koala, was charming, informative, and attentive. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

Great tour!

Jenny_N, Mar 2026
That no matter what happens, to enjoy it! Weather is a huge factor and you may not see everything you expect to see but your tour guide will still make it a great experience.

Great tour with Anderson:...

latacp, Mar 2026
Great tour with Anderson: Steve was engaging, patient and a deep personal connection to the Blue Mountains region and Australian history. Would do it again!

Great mountain activity with Kat as a guide

mcl, Mar 2026
The zoo may not be a valuable stop. It was very hot and only a few Australia animals worth seeing. Maybe a shorter time will be enough.

This is a day trip that...

Peter_L, Mar 2026
This is a day trip that centers around vantage points in the Blue Mountains and the Scenic World attractions. A great guide like ours (Axel) really made this trip fantastic.

Excellent tiur

Marizol_H, Mar 2026
Kat was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable on the history of Australia. She was very attentive and helpful to ensure everyone had a great experience.

Great adventurous day in the blue mountains and stop at the zoo to visit kangaroos and koalas. Nice way to relax outside

Marcia_J, Mar 2026
A fun-filled day with unique experiences and great information. Nice adventure away from the city and wonderful immersion into nature. However - that being said - Mother Nature is very unpredictable and the fog prohibited some activity making our day a little disappointing as far as what we could see. BUT our guide - Grant - was fabulous and gave us a wonderful and informative tour and enjoyable day!

Blue mountains are unreal

Corey_T, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time exploring the Blue Mountains — what a gorgeous area of Australia ! Tom was our tour guide and was super approachable and knowledgeable. The kind of guy that I wanted to grab a beer with after the tour! Scenic world was as advertised- scenic- and the lunch stop was delicious. Great time!

Exceeds expectations!

Gabriela_R, Mar 2026

It was a fun experience and saw a lot, despite the fog and rain. Run our guide was super knowledgeable, funny and witty. Highly recommend.

Great tour guide

Sherry_P, Mar 2026
Cat is very knowledgeable and that added value to the overall experience. We did each ride included, cableway, skyway and railroad. We did not have much time for the many walks in Scenic World. However, we made additional stops in the park that we awesome.

This is an amazing tour!...

Larry_F, Mar 2026
This is a great tour! Lots of activities packed into the day! Our guide Kat had an amazing sense of humor and excellent overall knowledge of Australia. She made sure we on time and we had plenty of time to enjoy the sights and shop! Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience

Sarah_G, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Kat is awesome . This tour took us to a lot of different places . We had so much fun on this tour .

The Blue Mountains are a must see

Glenn_S, Mar 2026
We really enjoyed the Blue Mountains. Beautiful landscape, beautiful scenery, a must see if you are in Sydney. Our guide, Jay, was outstanding. Very knowledge and personable, we really enjoyed the day with him. Two items were just ok: 1) Scenic World is very touristy and seems out of place with the beautiful area we were in. 2) Lunch was ok. Overall, being able to spend time at multiple stops to see the Blue Mountains was well worth it and for that alone, we’d do this again. Thank you again Jay, you made the experience even better.

A Delightful Escape From the City

Jesse_F, Mar 2026
What a fun day. Scenic World at the Blue Mountains was really cool and I enjoyed all three of the rides we got to go on. Finishing the tour with the ferry ride (which was included) was a really nice touch and added to the experience. Lunch was filling and good. However, the highlight for me was the stop at Featherdale. Getting to get up close and personal with a Koala as well as feeding Kangaroos was such a wonderful experience. Mark was a lovely guide through it all.

Reschedule 24 hours before so you can see something if rainy!

Bryan_J, Mar 2026
Don’t go if raining/foggy. We couldn’t see anything! Guide still made things informative but not worth the money if you can’t see anything. You need to change more than 24 hours before so make sure to check the weather.

It’s a Go

Thomas_M, Mar 2026
A full day of fascinating things Recommend for someone who has limited time and want a wide variety of experiences Tom the guide was knowledgeable and funny A highly recommended experience

A++++ Experience.

Patrick_M, Mar 2026
This was a great experience. The Blue Mountains are beautiful and a great way to spend a day experiencing nature, a short drive outside of Sydney. Kat is a fantastic guide who really wants every person to come away with appreciation for the experience.

Leigh_W, Mar 2026
Tom Was a great guide and gave us a lot of information! Though the weather almost had us missing being able to see the Three sisters, it turned out great. Great day overall.

Danka to Kunal - the best of the best!

Danka_P, Mar 2026
Unfortunately, the weather was quite bad during our excursion and we were not able to see the legendary Blue Mountain. However, our guide - Kunal P. - was one of a kind, a true master of his craft! His thorough historical knowledge of the site blended with his exquisite and charming sense of humor made the entire trip an experience I will never forget. The rainforest walk was especially memorable and the variety of brief rides were so much fun! It was a real privilege to listen to Kunal's playlist of the First Nation artists, which I 'Shazamed' and created my own Maori list. This excursion was packed with unique wonderful activities and is worth every penny. I highly recommend it and, if you get lucky to get Kunal as your guide, you will know what I meant!

Lovely Day out of Sydney

Susan_R, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful day. Our guide was Rin, and she was a delight. Well organized, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and she had a terrific sense of humor. We loved seeing the Blue Mountains, enjoyed lunch, enyoyed the animal park and the ferry ride was the perfect ending. We felt that the amount of time allocated to each stop was spot on. Rin managed the order of events to maximize sightseeing time and minimize queue time. If you are looking for a day outside of Sydney, this is a great choice.

Great all day Trip!

Susan_L, Mar 2026
Fantastic tour guide! Kat was personable and full of great both history and not so common facts about each stop. The drive was super scenic. Plenty of stops. Lunch was provided and pretty good. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to do walking and stairs. Definitely worth the $.

Stephanie_M, Mar 2026
This is a great tour for the whole family. It is great to see the different viewpoints in the Blue Mountains and the zoo was fabulous. It is a long day, but we'll worth it.
