Do yourself a favor and immediately book this tour. Simon is so knowledgeable and kind. You feel like you're chatting with your friend while learning about Australia. I wanted to do a private tour because my mom has some mobility limitations and likely unable to navigate a larger bus. Simon was so kind to her. He found us a wheelchair at the wildlife park, he helped her get on and off his van, he never once showed annoyance at her slow speed. Just such a kind human and really so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to and learn from. This is a gem of an outing and our Sydney highlight.

Great opportunity to meet Australian animals and see scenery in the blue mountains. We also really enjoyed the discussion with our guide Simon and a chance to learn a little about Australia. Simon also did a great job trying to work around the weather and modify the tour to get the best day possible. We really appreciated his experience and taking care of us.

Thank you Ruth for such a kind review and thank you for being open to modifying the tour. As the Blue Mountains were a white out its nice to hear that you still enjoyed an alternative Sydney experience. I hope you all had a great time in Australia, all the best, Simon.

Simon was our driver. He took us to the animal sanctuary to visit with kangaroos and koalas. He was quite knowledgeable. Then we drove into the blue mountains for a few short hikes seeing Lincoln point and wentworth falls. We also saw the 3 sisters and some other overlooks. He was quite informative about Sydney history and current events. It was an enjoyable day.

Joyce_J, Nov 2024
Simon was a wonderful guide- very knowledgeable about the history / current events related to Australia and all the sites we saw. He also went out of his way to take us to an area of Sydney that we hadn’t visited yet. The zoo was a highlight for our family and our memories of this tour will last a lifetime!

We had an absolutely terrific day and highly recommend booking this tour. From the visit to the wildlife park to the scenic stops in the Blue Mountains, it was everything we were hoping for and more. We loved learning about the history of the areas we traveled to and appreciated the awesome photo suggestions and restaurant recommendation for lunch, along with the tasty Australian snacks. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable, you'll have a great time with Simon.

Our private guide, Simon, was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable and willing to accomodate what ever we had asked. Unlike other tour guides he personally walked us through the wildlife park and guided us through so we wouldn’t missed anything. Would highly recommend this tour

Jocelyn_W, Feb 2024
Simon our guide took us on a simply wonderful tour! We had plenty of time to interact with the animals plus we went on several walks into the blue mountains. He provided delightful snacks and later a charming place for lunch. Simon was knowledgeable, organized and articulate. He gave us a day we will never forget!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
thanks for the awesome review Jocelyn. It was my pleasure to show you the sights of the Blue Mountains and guide you through the wildlife park. It is always a joy when somebody loves the animals as much as I do. Hope you enjoyed your time 'down under', all the best, Simon.
Dorothy_F, Jan 2024
Simon was a great guide. The Featherdale Wildlife Park was awesome. We loved petting and feeding the kangaroos, wallabies, and pademelons. We also enjoyed the many koalas, birds and other animals. It was a little foggy and rainy so we didn’t get many views of the blue mountains. We weren’t able to see the 3 sisters formation at all. We did enjoy the Prince Henry Cliff walk to Katoomba Falls. The area near the falls was beautiful in the rain. We also enjoyed the lunch spot on Leura.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks for the great review Dorothy. The weather was not kind for our tour but am glad you enjoyed interacting with our native animals and some walks throughout the day. I hope you had a nice holiday, regards Simon
tbut, Jan 2024
Simon was great! Our destination was the Blue Mountains and it was foggy and drizzly conditions, which didn’t make for great viewing of our destination. While we lunched he explored and found an area that we could get a glimpse and feel of the natural beauty of the area. City tour was added too. Loved his history and insight of Australia in general. Enjoyed Featherdale Wildlife Park very much, seeing a great variety of wildlife.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hi Therese, thank you for the kind review. Unfortunately it wasn't the best day weather wise but hopefully you took away some memories from your day to the mountains. I hope you also enjoyed the rest of your time 'down under', all the best, Simon

Simon was a really great tour guide for the day. Very informative, interesting and flexible with our specific schedule and interests. Tour is really fun and offers many cool sites. Wildlife experience alone was worth it, and then you get lots more!

Gary_L, Apr 2023
Simon was our guide, and we couldn’t be happier. Foul weather in the Blue Mountains created the need to modify our itinerary. Simon was very accommodating, and moved things around to make our day most enjoyable. City tour, lunch at Bondi Beach, and then to Featherdale for a terrific tour, feeding kangaroos and wallabies, and Kuala encounter. Excellent excursion!!!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you Gary for writing such a great review. Thank you also for being flexible with the itinerary so we didn't waste our time in a Blue Mountains 'white out' and were able to enjoy some sights around the city. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Sydney, regards Simon

Our guide, Simon, was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared great info along the way. It was a cloudy/rainy day however he scouted areas to ensure we saw everything we could, especially as the clouds lifted a bit. The wildlife sanctuary was also a great stop to engage with Australian wildlife. An overall excellent tour!

Teresa_W, Oct 2022
Simon is an excellent tour guide! We fed kangaroos and saw koalas and many beautiful birds native to Australia. We made the best of a rainy day. The Blue Mts were covered in heavy clouds so we opted not to waste time going there. We had a great lunch and saw the city highlights. I highly recommend this private tour!
