- 557juanaf0 contributionsAmazing tour!We had an incredible time on the Blue Mountains and Featherdale Wildlife Park tour with my family, everything was 10/10, super organized, thanks to our amazing guide, Kris. His passion and knowledge made the experience incredible. The Blue Mountains were breathtaking and the stunning views fascinating. Kris made sure we visited the best spots without the crowds, took us photos and took care of every little detail, he was really fun. At Featherdale and scenic world, he shared great tips, making the visit even better for us. Kris’s energy and care for the group were outstanding. If you’re looking for a memorable day in nature in Sydney, this tour is a must. (With Kris haha)Written 30 December 2024

- 306fitrar0 contributionsGood value for a private tour!Great tour package for a family! With the private one is amazing if you would like to have a more flexible and chill schedule. Our driver/tour guide (rocky) was very friendly, informative, timely, accommodating, and was open to our preferences. The van we used was very clean, complete with trash can, and comfortable. Recommended for a family of 4 - 8.Written 24 December 2023
- SMBKIWI0 contributionsGreat family day with an excellent driver/guideWe enjoyed a family day in the blue mountains. We were collected and dropped off at our hotel. Our guide adapted the tour well to our needs, was an excellent driver and knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed getting to Featherdale before the buses and having some special time with the animals before the crowds arrived. We also enjoyed heading to some of the less known vantage points to view the mountains and outlook.Written 6 December 2023
- Dreamer7706090 contributionsOne day Private tour to Caves and Blue Mountains with RakithaWe did little bit of research touring Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves, finally decided to link with Rakitha. Rakitha is a very friendly and knowledgeable person. He made our private tour a very memorable and an interesting one. Enjoyed every bit of details of the trip, starting early morning as 6.30 am from Macquarie park, stopped for delicious breakfast and headed straight to Jenolan Caves. spent nearly about two hrs visiting Lucas Cave which is amazing. no words to express our experience. on our way back visited Blue mountains which was very entertaining at the viewing point as it was drizzling and enjoyed over a cup of coffee. Wish to join with Rakitha again when visit Sydney. Suranga from Sri LankaWritten 3 December 2023

What a wonderful and perfect trip. Rocky was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We all enjoyed our day with him and we were able to see some wonderful sights as well.

- robertmD3468YP0 contributionsWelcome to AustraliaThe whole day was amazing, and Rocky was a fantastic guide. We were jetlagged from arrival and the day in the outdoors was just what we needed. The Featherdale zoo stop started the day with an up close to Australian wildlife. Then into the mountains, the wonderful scenery and history. Highly recommend this tour. It started our Australian journey in a high note.Written 1 February 2023
- JohnB424RR0 contributionsBrilliant Tour, Brilliant Guide and Pies!What an amazing tour, starting out with Lincoln's Rock we then moved on to the viewpoint for the 3 sisters; this we followed up with all the rides at Scenic World after a brief opportunity to walk along a little of the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and view the falls. Our amazing guide then took us to get some pies in from the Bakehouse in Leura and found us a spot to picnic, he even supplied a beer! We finished our day feeding roos and seeing the Koala's and other animals at Featherdale Park. All round we couldn't recommend this tour more!Written 25 January 2023
- lologeorge690 contributionsExcellent fun Experience Rain or ShineMy 21 year old son and his friend and I went on this highly recommended Wine tasting to Hunter Valley. There were 9 of us in the nice air conditioned minivan . Colin was our guide. It was a rainy day in Sydney and was rainy as well in the Hunter Valley. Despite the inclement weather, we had a fantastic time. Colin was an excellent tour guide. He was so knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very enthusiastic. He really ensured that we all would enjoy the trip. There were some people in our group that did not speak English and I believe they still had a wonderful time as well. Our first stop was at the Hunter Wine Lab and we tasted many many wines with Nathan as our wine guide. He is also the owner and vintner there. He even let us try some beers that he brews there as well. This was definitely the best stop according to my party. We then went to McCaffrey's Estate and had another set of excellent wines and fantastic fantastic cheese selections to accompany the wine. Mel was our host and she was great. At this point, I am a bit hazy/drunk but I think we hit one more winery which was excellent and then an excellent lunch of pizza and salad. I don't remember which order we did these in because I was feeling pretty good. Our last stop was at a distillery that specializes in flavored gin vodka and liquor that glitters. Our server was not very personable however I suspect that he was not thrilled with our behavior. The trip is a long one. We left promptly at 725am and returned around 7 pm. It is about 2.5 hours to the Hunter Valley. However I would highly recommend this for anyone who has a day to kill and likes good food and wine. We even got to see the wild kangaroos that are in the valley in abundance. Definitely go on this trip. You will have a blast.Written 22 January 2023

Booked this tour as a b'day gift for my b'friend. I would say, a reasonable priced tour and the driver was flexible. Started our tour from Sydney to Hunter and visited Tyrells as the first stop. Then, chocolates and done vodka tasting in test tubes. Had a great day & thank you.

Before doing this we had recently taken a wine tour in SA and this beat it hands down. We did it from Cessnock and about 10 minutes after pick were at our first winery. Our driver had our day well planned. 4 wineries, lunch, chocolate tasting, cheese tasting at Hunter Cheese co with cheese tutorials. Highly recommended tour if you are wine lover!
