Awesome adventure. The wildlife park is sssoooooo great. Seeing koalas and petting and feeding Kangaroos. Plus you get to see so many more native wildlife. The mountains are good too. Just be ready to go down a hell of a lot of stairs and then climb back up them. I was gassed at the end. Scenic world was great too but just keep an eye on your watch cause we ended up missing the cable car ride which was the best I think. All in all great way to see all the fun stuff.

You guys NEVER showed up!!!
We waited for over an hour & 15 minutes & no one showed. ( other tours did)
We found a taxi guy to take us at twice the price but the 31st was our only day here to do it

It was a truly a great experience!!! Diana (Di) was wonderful and charming as a guide.
We wish we had more tome at Featherdale and ScenicWorld but Loncoln rock is a must see viewpoint!

Amazing views and places to go to but tour is really just booking transport A2B and park entrance - all info is sourced independently

I called to reschedule my trip 1 day in advance and I was told that is all booked for the day I requested . Which was a lie. They had availability on Viator site up to the morning of the day I wanted the trip .
It was cloudy and rainy and we couldn’t see any of the great scenery .
No guide , just the driver who did not explain anything. ZERO !!
Our trip was in total silence which is unacceptable.
So , it was a waste of a lot of money !!!
Look for another company w the option to cancel and check the weather . If it is cloudy and rainy do not go !!

Awesome day and sites, and tour guide was very accommodating and engaging! Well worth it to see more of Australian landscape.

Highlight of this trip was the visit to the Featherdale Wildlife Park. The interaction with the kangaroos, wallabies and koalas was magical. Stopping there first was excellent planning, the crowd was small and the animals were active. We enjoyed the Blue Mountains and Scenic World, also. The landscape and views were stunning. Our tour guide, Tiago, was very friendly and made the day enjoyable. I recommend this trip!

Good chance you won't see three sisters as it rains and is cloudy often. We took a hike to a waterfall instead, which was great. We really enjoyed Featherdale wildlife. Just disappointed we didn't see a kangaroo.

We joined a one-day tour to the Blue Mountains during the New Year holidays. Despite the large crowds at every attraction, the experience at each site was still enjoyable. The tour guide is friendly he helped us to took nice pictures at each attractions.
However, I have serious doubts about the professionalism of this tour company:
1. **Lack of Communication:**
Since we joined the tour during the holiday season, we understood that the schedule might be affected. I assumed delays were due to traffic, which caused us to arrive late at some stops. However, it wasn’t until the afternoon that the guide informed us that Scenic World would not be visited due to excessive crowds and long wait times during the holidays.
According to Viator, the tour company checks the crowd situation withScenic World twice daily to adjust the itinerary accordingly. Furthermore, the guide mentioned they had already spent hours stuck at Scenic World the previous day. This suggests the company was well aware of the high likelihood of skipping Scenic World but failed to notify customers in advance. This lack of transparency denied us the option to cancel the tour beforehand.
2. **Refund Issues:**
The tour description clearly stated that Scenic World tickets were included in the fee. When I raised this issue with Viator's customer service, hoping the tour company would refund the unused ticket cost, the company refused to issue a refund. Instead, they only offered a discount voucher for future tours. Considering they likely knew in advance Scenic World might not be visited but neither informed us nor refunded the ticket cost, I felt deceived.
3. **Mismanagement of Alternative Plans:**
Since Scenic World was skipped, the guide offered an alternative visit to a waterfall. However, at Echo Point, both the guide and most group members returned late to the meeting point after the scheduled time. This resulted in the cancellation of the alternative waterfall stop. When I returned to the meeting point on time, only a few others were there, and I initially thought I had misheard the time. Later, the guide admitted, "We were supposed to leave 30 minutes ago," but even the guide was 30 minutes late. I found this completely incomprehensible.
4. **Lack of Information and Context:**
The guide did not provide any cultural or relevant explanations at any of the attractions (only some simple explanations such us we can buy food to feed animals, which route we are going to walk, but there was no detailed explanation about the attraction). Having participated in several tours across Australia, this was the first time I encountered such an issue.

The tour was canceled by the subcontracted Mates tour & you seemed to not communicate with them at all. We are expecting a full refund.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Sorry to hear your bad experience. Although you haven’t had a chance to enjoy the tour, unfortunately due to the weather conditions your tour has been cancelled and you was unable to change dates. A full refund has been organized.
Once again we apologize for a bad weather cancellation.
