We would give 10 stars if we could. Our guide Dave was unbelievable!! Very knowledgeable, thoughtful and a wonderful host. The day was well planned out, just the right amount of time at each stop. Morning stop at the zoo, which meant the animals were at their most active. Lunch was delicious and Scenic World had exciting rides and amazing views

Service excellence

Despite the inclement...

Amy_L, Jul 2025

Despite the inclement weather, this tour was amazing. My family of 4 enjoyed the sights and the informative talk of our tour guide. The lunch was very tasty. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very fun. We enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for the lovely review—so glad the weather didn’t spoil a thing and you had a great time with your guide! Sounds like a fun day all round. Cheers, Ellen

Fun day out exploring the Blue Mountains

Katherine_M, May 2025

Wonderful day trip full of excitement! Our guide did a great job keeping our group moving smoothly and on time. Our tour had 7 people (including my family of 4). Our guide shared lots of details on our itinerary during the drive to the zoo and had even more knowledge to share about the Blue Mountains as we made our way. Sydney Zoo stop was so enjoyable. We got up and close to lots of Australian wild life. Add on the koala experience for an up close and personal meet and greet! We arrived before the zoo opened so had a good head start before the tour buses and had time to wander around for an hour or so before heading to the Blue Mountains. Lunch at Sorensen's Glasshouse and Gardens was lovely. Lunch and a beverage were included in the tour. Delicious!! Quick stop at Josophan's Fine Chocolates for some hot chocolate and picked up a few gifts for back home. Stopped at the most scenic of overlooks, Lincoln's Rock, to take in the sweeping, natural beauty of the Blue Mountains. And then visited Scenic World to have a wander through the woods. Our group was extremely lucky to spot a Lyrebird digging around for bugs on the forest floor. We experienced the Scenic Railway which is in the Guiness Book of World Records for the steepest passenger railway in the world! And concluded with a ride on the Cable Car. Both enjoyable ways to experience the beauty of the blue Mountains. I recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the Blue Mountains and only have 1 day available. This tour worked perfectly with our busy schedule and my entire family thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Bring bottled water and maybe a snack for the ride. We had time to look at the gift shops at the zoo and scenic world. I also made sure to have cash to tip the guide at the conclusion of the trip.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks for leaving such a detailed review, Katherine! So glad to hear you enjoyed the day. Cheers, Ellen

Nice trip

Erica_Z, Apr 2025

We like this trip! The view is amazing, koalas are so cute, and our guide Dave is knowledgeable and fun. Only one thing I think not perfect is that it's a little bit hurry for me.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks for the feedback—glad you enjoyed the views, koalas, and had fun with Dave! We'll keep the pacing in mind for next time. Cheers, Ellen

Great trio to the blue mountains and more

Lisa_H, Mar 2025

Great trio to the blue mountain (and more) with Dave’s tours. They say all their tour guides are called Dave but ours actually was! The day was busy as lots to pack in but the day was really well organised and we never felt rushed. Lunch was lovely and a bonus trip to the chocolate shop for hot chocolate. The smell in there was enough to satisfy your chocolate cravings without having to eat anything. Thanks Dave for a great day and for taking numerous pictures to remember our trip. The bonus selfie was a surprise find but made us chuckle 🤣 sorry we didn’t get much time at the end to thank you as traffic was busy. We also didn’t have any cash to tip you either which we felt bad about as you were great and made us chuckle all day. We are not just tight English (persons) honest! Lisa & Ben

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Sounds like you had an epic day out in the Blue Mountains—love that you got a real "Dave" as your guide! No worries at all about the tip; knowing you had a great time is what matters most. Thanks for sharing your experience (and glad the surprise selfie gave you a laugh)! Cheers, Ellen

Awesome Experience

Robert_I, Mar 2025

Our guide”Dave” was knowledgeable and lots of fun. The group was small and the coach bus was comfortable. The views from the blue mountains are breathtaking. We had lunch at a unique spot and all the choices were delicious.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Sounds like a perfect day in the Blue Mountains! Thanks for touring with us, Robert! Cheers, Ellen

Great Day with Dave, our tour guide

Keith_B, Feb 2025

Very informative and enjoyable. Dave provided a wealth of information on our destinations and was courteous throughout

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thanks Keith! Glad you enjoyed the tour and all the insights from Dave. Sounds like a great experience. Cheers, Ellen

Thanks to Dave!

John_S, Jan 2025

We had a fantastic time today! At Dave's all tour guides are called Dave, but our guide's name really was Dave. And he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about Sydney and all the sights we went to see. He knew the best times of day to see specific things, so we encountered the fewest crowds and were able to capture the best views with the least amount of interference. We had just an awesome day!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the fantastic review, John! It sounds like Dave went above and beyond to make your day seamless and memorable. We’re so glad you had such an awesome time and hope to see you on another tour soon! Cheers, Ellen

Highly recommend!

Chandrika_R, Dec 2024

The small group trip was thoughtfully organized to include the best sites with the convenience of an included meal. Our Dave was fantastic - knowledgeable, efficient and kind!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thanks for the kind words! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the day. Hope to see you on another adventure soon! Cheers, Ellen

Great tour experience

Agnes_T, Nov 2024

We had so much fun and gain a lots of experience in this tour. Chris from Dave's travel is very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. All the itinerary were fun, the lunch was beautiful. From the mountain, dinosaurs valley, lookout, chocolate factory, glasshouse lunch, 3 rides, beautiful boutique towns, walking in the rainforest all was goo experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thanks a ton for the awesome review, Agnes! We're thrilled you had a blast on the tour and that Chris made it extra special. Hope to see you on another tour soon! 😊Ellen

Awesome day with a great guide

Nancy_S, Sep 2024

Dave our tour guide was the best!! We did this tour the day after the sydney marathon. We found out that Dave had also ran the marathon. So we hobbled around together during this awesome tour. We saw Australian zoo animals, went to the beautiful Blue mts, had a wonderful lunch at a little restaurant in the mts. Dave was so informative with his knowledge of Australia. It was a great day. Thank you Dave, hope your legs are feeling good.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thanks for the review, Nancy! Pinno appears to be fully recovered and will be chuffed with your feedback. Cheers, Ellen

Amazing Tour and Beautiful Sights!!

Nancy_H, Aug 2024

We were a group of two, and it was an excellent experience. The tour showed us plenty of amazing things and sights across Sydney and our tour guide, the real Dave was amazing. He was very informative and friendly and was great to learn about the city and history/heritage of straya. I highly recommended this tour and it is definitely worth it!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thanks for the 5 stars, Nancy! Cheers, The Dave's Team

Blue Mountain Small Group Tour Viator/Daves Roos Blues & Views

Sharon_W, Mar 2024

Robin was our guide for the day. Very informative at various sites. Excellent lunch at Leura with a choice of a wagyu cheeseburger, fish and chips, calamari salad or chicken schnitzel !! Subtracted one star because of the music he was playing on the long van ride to/from Blue Mountain. Most of our group was over 60, so a little less Heavy Metal and more mellow relaxing, oldies, 80s etc music would have been better to listen to. Suggest the tour guide play music appropriate to the age group and NOT his personal playlist.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Sharon, thanks for taking the time to review and I'm glad your day was an overall success. I have spoken with Robyn about her music choices and passed on your feedback so she is aware and can choose more appropriate music next time. Cheers, Cat

O tour e muito bem...

PATRICIA_P, Feb 2025

O tour e muito bem organizado. O guia é otimo. O restaurante do almoço muito bom. Infelizmente o tempo estava horrível e o passeio merecia ser adiado porque não simplesmente nao deu pra ver nada das blue moutains

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for taking the time to review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour despite the weather not playing nice! We wish we could control that part, but sounds like the rest of the experience still held up. Cheers, Ellen
