- Janet H00Brilliant day in the Blue MountainsAn amazing experience made possible by Steve the tour guide. Showing us as many sights and attractions as he could fit in, he was a font of knowledge (USA trivia) on everything. Helped by glorious weather the sights at all points were fabulous. Every part of the day ran like clockwork and was on schedule right from the initial pick up. A fantastic day in the Blue Mountains and would thoroughly recommend to everyone.

- Nigel G00Blue Mountain tour not to be missed!We were lucky rough to experience the Blue Mountain all day tour with our amazing guide Adam. It's an amazing day out, great lunch included and what Adam doesn't know about the history, flora and fauna of the region, places you visit and Australia in general isn't worth knowing. It's all imparted with great humour making an interesting, knowledgeable and stunning day. You won't regret this tour, highly recommended.
- aysedevria00Amazing tour of the Blue MountainsHotel consierge recommended Anderson's tours for a day trip to the Blue Mountains near Sydney and I was so very glad they were able to squeeze me in on such short notice. It was a truly unforgettable day. Bob, our guide was knowledgeable, funny, attentive and also a great driver. We spent quite a good amount of time in the locations we stopped and I had an amazing day. I can't find fault with anything... It was perfect. And the area we visited is absolutely stunning. Wildlife centre was also a lot of fun. Marvellous experience!!!
- 225shanis00Awesome day outHad a brilliant day with our guide Kumal, he was a wealth of knowledge with plenty of laughs in between. Was well organised tour which ran very smoothly. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour to our friends.
- Richelle L00Best tour in blue mountains.Blue mountains is nothing less than impeccable. The view, history and the story is amazing. We enjoyed our tour. It was timely and memorable. Our Guide Adam was really entertaining and he knows the ins and outs of the place, that way we maximized our day.
- HoustonTrips00Great day in the Blue MountainsWe recently had a great day of sightseeing in the Blue Mountains on one of your tours. Our guide in this adventure was Rin. We thoroughly enjoyed her narrative, insights and all the background info provided. It was a long day of sightseeing but we were never bored. I applaud Anderson Tours for having such a great guide and person working in their employment ! Thanks again, Marty & Lynn Houston Tx
- travbud100Good trip, could be betterThe exceedingly strong ratings is what attracted me to this tour. While there are many good attributes and I would generally recommend this tour, I’m not certain that the rating is completely justified. This was frankly a standard group trip to the Blue Mountains. The vehicles could certainly be upgraded and it does take much longer to reach your destination by bus. The trip, which I think is part of the appeal, can be broken down into multiple parts. There is the initial ride to the Blue Mountains, the Blue Mountains and several scenic lookouts, the rather kitschy dinosaurs/tram ride at Scenic World, lunch, the wildlife park and the boat back to Sydney. For clarify, this is all easily accessible on your own and frankly easily done in a day trip from Sydney. The appeal for most is putting all of this together without additional effort. Here are my comments. The drive itself is fine, although slow being in the bus. Having had a private day tour of Sydney the day before, I would say that the details, information and history provided was average at best and delivered in a ‘take it or leave it’ manner. In fact, the driver on more than one occasion chastised the bus for their apparent lack of interest and failure to respond to questions, which was equally absurd and outrageous, especially given the early morning. The scenic lookouts at the Blue Mountains are very nice and while easily accessible by the general public, obviously fit appropriately into the tour. Scenic World in my opinion is a waste of time. The highlight being a tram ride down the slope and into the Blue Mountain valley. It is nice, but we spent an obscene amount of time there, which was completely unnecessary. A tram ride up and down would have more than sufficed for the views. Lunch was fine, nothing special, but a nice touch was taking us to a location managed and run by military veterans. Although getting admonished by the individual at reception for failing to arrive with your driver and telling us to tell him that he should know that certainly seemed unnecessary given what I assume is significant business that Anderson Tours provides this place. The Wildlife sanctuary was certainly a highlight of the tour and an hour there certainly few by, personally I would remove time from Scenic World and add it to the Wildlife park. Finally, the boat ride back, which is on the public ferry is ingenious from a tour perspective as you can leave your passenger to return on their own to Sydney, simply for the cost of a commuter ferry ticket. It is a different way to see the city and certainly would not be possible if travelling with your own car. Regardless, on the whole this was a perfectly fine tour, as I mentioned, there are parts that I would significantly shorten, but it provides a nice taste of a variety of activities rolled up into a single day tour. I believe that four out of five stars is more than fair for the experience.
- coltons75400Hope you get Kunal on the Blue Mountain tour!Kunal was a great guide. Constant knowledge and history being shared with great recommendations on food and drinks along the way.

I am not sure where to start because the tour is great but I had a terrible experience because of my driver so I’m torn.
The actual tour is great, worth the cost. We had perfect weather that only made it better.
The company seems very reputable and they were easy to contact regarding pick up location.
The driver we had Kat was rude, didn’t help accommodate me and my daughter to sit near each other on the bus when we were the last ones on and talked none stop without so much as a breath for an hour and forty minutes from 7:30 am until our first pit stop. She invited a gang up on me and my daughter group mentality on the bus where other passengers vocally abused us and cheered when we got off.
The second driver Mark (we were allowed to switch buses at the first stop) was an absolute delight. He provided information and shared knowledge of the area we travelled. He was professional and made an effort to acknowledge everyone on the bus throughout the day.
The management team offered me a free koala experience (valued at $25) for my humiliation and advised they would talk to Kat about her behaviour. I didn’t ask for anything and thought this was decent yet honestly not enough for the fact that their driver was mainly the problem.

Booked this quite late as wasn’t sure if the bush fires would impact the tour but we needn’t have worried. Apart from a bit of haze left over from the smoke in the air, we still enjoyed some spectacular views at each look out! Was such a great day from start to finish. Our guide Robert was very knowledgable and really made the day for us. The timing for everything was spot on, we had plenty of time at each stop and our pre-selected lunch was ready as soon as we arrived at the restaurant! Compared to all the individual costs of the entrance fees plus the ferry trip at the end this tour was also great value and would definitely recommend it if you’re limited for time. Only downside was we didn’t get to hear our guide Robert play his ukulele!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our all inclusive tour to the Blue Mountains. Our tour guide Mark was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable providing our small group with lots of facts and information. Pick up at a local Hotel was punctual and the time schedule for the day ran to time. The inclusive lunch in Katoomba was excellent with great meal choices and our trip to the Featherdale Wildlife Park was amazing. Overall I would highly recommend this tour as it's excellent value for money, you get to see lots of different places and the whole tour is very well organised. Big thumbs up 👍

Our tour to the Blue Mountains was great- and a big part of that was because of our tour guide Steve. He was educated on the history of the Blue Mountains, from the town, to the mining history. He was well organized and kept our group on a good schedule. It was more relaxing having him drive as well since in Australia they drive on the other side of the car (and road). It was smoky during our visit because of all the brushfires, and our views of the Blue Mountains (looking out over them) was hindered somewhat by this, but I would still recommend this tour to folks looking to visit Australia because of the information you can gather while being with a tour guide. I also loved that we got to take so many different kinds of transport! The Mining-Train is a real thrill! I think my favorite part was the FeatherDale Wildlife Park though, our guide knew to take us to the park (during feeding hours) so that we could see the animals awake and engaged in their natural behaviors- which really made for a much better experience than your standard trip to a zoo. Would absolutely recommend.

We went on this trip with our excellent tour guide, Steve. Had a great day with lots of activities & sights. The day ended well with a boat trip from Olympic Park to Darling Harbour. Steve was extremely informative , humorous and very attentive to all of us. It was lovely to mix with people from all around the world, great value for the price and we highly recommended this tour. Scenic World was standout!

Our daylong tour was one of the best we’ve experienced, in no small part due to our guide, Kat. She provided informed, amusing, nuanced, detailed commentary about an incredibly wide range of All Things Australia subjects. The tour itinerary was first rate, supplying diverse, fun, enjoyable, thoughtful experiences in a variety of settings and modes. Even lunch was good. This tour is an absolute must when visiting Sydney.

Full day of fun! Easy paced. Well organized. Breakfast is on you, but lunch is included. Good variety to choose from. You pre-select from a menu and it is ready for u when you reach. Mark, our guide was great! Professional, yet friendly, had lots to share, showed flexibility within the itinerary to be responsive to customer needs......He offered cold water after crossing the forest, when it was most needed! Very thoughtful and nice gesture! The scenic world was great! Tickets are included. You get to experience Rain Forest of the Blue Mountains - walk to look out points, travel by Cable seeing tree tops and across the forest, by rail on world's highest incline! Featherdale was great too! Feed Kangaroo, hold Koala and get a photo taken, See Penguins, Reptiles, Only one thing to worry about....hope you do not get a seat on top of rear wheels......Luckily, our tour was not full, so the person sitting in that seat could change the seat. You get seated based on your pick up location. Hope they always have a spare seat! We had a little mix up regarding which of the 2 vans will be picking us up, but, other than that, we had a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend.

It’s sad to see the tourism rates decline with the recent and unfortunate wildfires. Anderson’s Tours did a fantastic job at keeping us safe and well aware of the fire’s extent and location while also keeping conversation lively and interactive. If I could return to Sydney, I would book another tour with them. If you can choose, Steven was amazing!
We went through the Blue Mountains and hiked in various locations while also having enough breaks in between hikes to rejuvenate. We all ate lunch together as well! Following the hikes, we went to the Featherdale Wildlife Park which was amazing. Such a fun time! My heart goes out to those affected by the tragic fires💙

Our day to the Blue Mountains with Adam was perfect. One of the best tour guides from any tour I've ever been on in my travels. He was extremely knowledgeable but was cracking jokes the entire time.
The Blue Mountains were gorgeous. The Scenic World "rides" were great (but were too short!). The trip to Featherdale was kind of underwhelming, mostly because we went to Hartley's in Cairns where we actually got to hold koalas and see more animals up close. It's sort of funny because you see the same other tour groups at each spot, and then every tour ends on the same ferry (not a "cruise") back to Sydney.
There are pros and cons to a "small group" tour. They only have 20 people max, but the van only holds 20 people. That means the van is packed and cramped, and some people were forced to sit separate from their companions. On the other hand, we were close to the guide and got a more personal experience. I'd take the small group and hope that it's not sold out.

Anderson’s tours Is a first rate company and this was a fun tour. Both the mountains, viewed from many directions and angles, and our guide, Adam, were terrific. We stopped at several lookouts on an amazingly clear day and the gondola ride and the steep mining railroad descent were fun. The animal stop was underwhelming and we visited a much better animal sanctuary outside of Hobart Tasmania, but it was a minor part of the trip. Adam provided lively and at times irreverent commentary throughout the trip and it was clear he loved sharing Australian history and geography and the Blue mountains with us. My wife and I were traveling on our own and this trip gave us a much better sense of the Blue Mountains than we could have attained on our own. The group of twenty worked well in part because of Adam’s storytelling that went well beyond the focus of the trip.

Hi, is there any point in the tour in the Blue Mountains that we will have free time to hike on our own? Or are we with the group and guide the entire time? We are somewhat active and we are making a decision to pursue on our own OR use this highly rated tour...

In our case, there was a traffic delay due to roadside accident. The driver made phone calls with the other drivers in order to get the update road info and adjusted our schedule ending in a visit to local zoo for koala experience, which made a delay for the whole trip. In the end, the driver dropped us at the Olympic park(not at the city center where we started out trip) at around 5:15pm. He bought us ferry tickets(leaving at 5:40pm or so) for the circular Quay. When we arrived at the Quay, it was after 6pm.

At the beginning of the tour we were given a menu from the restaurant we would be eating. Each chose the food we wanted for lunch so it would be ready when we got there. Some options were Fish and Chips, sandwiches, salads etc.

There are toilets at all stops - tip go there first because with the line ups that form you’ll miss out seeing things if you don’t. At scenic you might have to wait until the end.

When you go to book, they ask where you are staying and they let you know the closest pick up point. We were lucky, ours was 50 meters from our hotel
