We had a great day in the Blue Mountains thanks to our guide, Abby! This was the perfect tour with the hike to the Wentworth waterfall (including the 'Stairs of Doom'), the impromptu stop at Govett's Leap to see the Bridal Fall, and stop in Katoomba to see the Three Sisters. Abby made the day fun and chill...and she had the best playlist during the bus ride! Highly recommend.
Mary_D, Mar 2026
Wear sensible footwear. The scenery was amazing but the trek down to the waterfall felt like such an achievement. It was definately the highlight of the trip. Our guide, Chris, took good care of us. Nice lunch too.
Gunnar40, Mar 2026
The weather was lousy, but we were warned by the organizers. Couldn't change dates. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Rohit_S, Mar 2026
The lady (forgot name) was absolutely brilliant in keeping us engaged and showing the scenery around.
Inga_Z, Mar 2026
We had a very nice day in the Blue Mountains with Abby, it was a wonderful trip with a beautiful hike and nice stops! Thank you!
Lynda_M, Mar 2026
This was a truly wonderful and memorable trip which we couldn't recommend more highly. Prior to confirming our booking, the team took time to answer our queries and provide detailed information and advice which really helped us make a decision. Communication with us thereafter was excellent.
The trip itself was brilliantly led by Ben who took time to explain the itinerary and what to expect from the day. He made us feel very welcome and not just another group! Lunch was very good and the transport very comfortable.
The walking routes were beautiful and well worth the physical effort! Thank you for such a wonderful day.
Heather_K, Mar 2026
This is the perfect trip if you really want to experience the Blue Mountains. Since there are no side tours to the zoo or other attractions, you really get to immerse yourself in the experience. We spent every bit of two hours hiking down to Wentworth Falls. Wear sturdy shoes (we wore trainers and were fine) and be prepared for the stairs down to the bottom of the falls. It is well worth the trip down and the effort back up. The trip to Echo point and the Three Sisters was a nice way to end the trip. Ben was a great guide and very knowledgeable and friendly. Worth it!
Jane_C, Mar 2026
This was an excellent tour with a great guide, Zac. We were taken to lots of places of interest and given sufficient time to enjoy them. Nothing was rushed. The lunchtime rolls are made by a Deli and were far above the standard I ever would have expected. They even take specific orders so no worries about preferences or allergies. Zac was informative and entertaining on the bus and and during the walks. I really do recommend this tour and think it is the best value for money you can get.
Laura_M, Mar 2026
Zac made it fun but the bus was so cramped I was squished out into a back seat and couldn’t see anything! The mountain hike was great and the lunch was good!
Kevin_k, Mar 2026
Unfortunately it was a foggy day and we couldn't see anything from the planned viewpoints. We did however see part if one of them after a significant hike. Our group hiked at a pace that allowed little pausing for photos and mostly we saw our feet as footing was precarious at times. Overall id rather have had this hiking adventure in the rain and fog that not gotten to see this National Park! The Bus on the other hand was terribly uncomfortable for my 6 foot height. The tour guide was bright and energetic and provided some commentary when possible. The pauses and stops were adequate and allowed time for coffee and shop.
James_M, Mar 2026
Probably my favorite one day tour that I’ve done. Great tour guide/driver, Chris. A very informative, kind person who gave information about each stop including the story of the Three Sisters. Had heard that story before but not all the details he gave. I had done a tour of the Blue Mountains a few years ago but this one was much better. The highlight for me was trekking down to the base of Wentworth Falls. Highly recommend.
Ruth_L, Feb 2026
Wear good shoes for the hike and layers for different weather. The guide was great! Knowledgeable, friendly and attentive
Erin_O, Feb 2026
A great chance to visit some of the top spots in the Blue Mountains but also a chance to hop out of the bus and explore it, on a trail in Wentworth Falls.
Sue_H, Jan 2026
Fantastic day out for all - great value for money. Kieran was a fantastic host. Funny and informative - 10/10 would recommend
Staci_C, Jan 2026
It rained almost the entire day, and for much of the tour, we only saw fog. But we all laughed through it. Our guide was fabulous and the experience was fun despite the fog. The fog did break for a few minutes, and it was beautiful.
Chris_P, Jan 2026
Stunning views all day & a great tour guide (Zak)
As billed, this tour mostly avoided the over touristy stuff and just hit the best natural beauty spots, which was exactly what I wanted.
The promise of a mini hike & steep/hard waterfall pass meant the tour group skewed younger, which was perfect for me - met some great people on the day & had a lot of fun. That said, I wouldn't say the walking was thatttttt hard... if you are a bit funny with heights or very steep steps, the last section down to the waterfall might worry you a bit, but its relatively short.
Highly recommend!
Jinhua_D, Jan 2026
The trip was very organized and well paced. We were picked up on time and truly enjoyed all the activities. Keiran our guide was very knowledgeable and very attended. We did a 2-hour walk and stopped several locations for taking photos and coffee. The provided lunch was delicious! A highly recommend trip.
Michael_W, Jan 2026
It’s going to be harder than you think. Wear ‘real’ hiking shoes, take a bathing suit and towel if you want to get in the water fall and don’t be late for the meetup times for departure. Otherwise it’s going to blow your mind!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hello Michael
Really happy that you had a fantastic time with us. The nature walk and waterfalls are indeed quite lovely. The steep stairs on the return part from the base of the main waterfall are indeed difficult however doable for most. It is not mandatory to do this part of the walk for everyone.
Just for anyone else reading this review you can attend our tour with closed walking shoes that you are comfortable walking with. Also the possible swimming spot is only about knee deep in depth so please don't envision a deep watering hole. It's more of a splash around location with a nice waterfall in the background for a photo.
Have a lovely time in Sydney and the rest of Australia Michael. 🙂
Helen_H, Dec 2025
This day trip was a good mix of lookout stops and hikes. The hike at Wentworth Falls was a bit challenging in the heat, but definitely worth doing for the views. We even learnt some Aussie slang and trivia in the quiz on the bus, run by the tour guide / driver.
Or_S, Dec 2025
It was much more beautiful than I thought. The guides took us to amazing places and spots, that I wouldn't find myself
Dawn_W, Dec 2025
Great active tour with wonderful views of the Blue Mountains. Incredible hike down to the waterfall. Zach was a terrific guide.
Donald_H, Nov 2025
Beautiful scenery but hike down to falls difficult unless good fitness and no leg problems. Guide was very knowledgeable and fun.
murphysusan242, Nov 2025
It's is an active trip only for able bodies people. Excellent itinerary.
We were lucky we had a beautiful day.
Will_M, Nov 2025
Overall route was fantastic! Hit all the major sites and areas and even fulfilled requests of looking for wild kangaroos! Ben was very engaging, very friendly, and you could tell he truly cared about his guests and showing them a great time. Overall 10/10, could not recommend it more. If i come back to Sydney, I will be scheduling the same tour and hoping Ben is my guide! Awesome time, highly recommend!
Colin_B, Nov 2025
Exactly as advertised with the added bonus of an excellent tour guide (Kieran) who kept us well informed regarding the tour and Australian history. We were entertained throughout the day with his passion for little known facts and stories of Australia and its people. Loads of time at various places along the way with plenty of photo opportunities. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to any visitor to Sydney.
Annika_L, Nov 2025
Ben (tour guide) was really nice and friendly, and we saw many places. All in all, a good tour on a sunny day.
Charlie_S, Nov 2025
Great outdoor experience. Not super touristy. Excellent vibes & group of people. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a bit of a trek as well.
Brian_R, Nov 2025
The whole day was extremely well planned and organised. Kieran was an excellent guide, being very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
rose_c, Nov 2025
It was a great day out, and the weather was kind all day. Kieran (aka 'snake man'!) our driver and guide was brilliant. He was knowledgeable, professional and kept us on time with the schedule. The lunch was very nice and very welcome after the climb down then up again from the Wentworth Falls. The climb up the Steps of Doom was a real workout, which was possibly played down a bit in the tour info! But really, the itinerary was varied and interesting. It made me want to go back to the Blue Mountains area again and explore some more.
Stacy_J, Oct 2025
Kirin was an amazing guide. The walk to Wentworth Falls was stunning. It was a really nice tour. The sandwich was really good, we were entertained, the pace of the tour was good. Very well organized and saw many beautiful sights. You need a decent fitness level.
