The Blue mountains scenery speaks for itself, we had a day just how they promote it. But when you get a guide as good as Dave then the day becomes even more special. My wife and I celebrated our birthday here and Dave arranged a special picnic lunch at a quiet lookout, so nice. Stopped on the way home at the wildlife park for the kola bears and heaps more animals, ending our great day.

As we were a family with young children we chose a private trip to the mountains. We wanted just us and the guide as we had a 5 and 8 year old with us. Extra nice service being picked up at 9am at our b and B and returned at 5pm. We got to see the 3 Sisters, do all the rides at the Scenery World, nice lunch at the Katoomba cafe, Dave suggested Yellow Deli which was so goo. The final stop off was to see koala bears, dingos, crocs etc. at an animal sanctuary. It was worth coming all the way from the USA just to make this day. Full marks to Blue Ribbon.

Katoomba is at the top of the mountains. Dave took us up there with us smooth driving and he knows all about Sydney and gave an excellent commentary all the way. The cliffs and gorges have beautiful colours and it’s all so green. On the return we stopped at a Wildlife sanctuary to pat Koala bears and Kangeroos ,it was a special time. We had such a nice day , having Dave to ourselves as the escort made the difference.

Visiting for the New year and had a spare day for the Blue mountains. Last time we did a bus tour so thought spend a little more and take a private trip. Our hotel again recommended Blue Ribbon and we had Darren to guide us. Such a gentleman and showed us so much, with a few hikes and nice picnic lunch. Another top day to end our year.

Getting out of a big city was our aim to have a day in fresh air and Dave was the man for our private tour into the mountains. After a 9am start which we asked for a late time we arrived in Katoomba around 10.30. We saw many lookouts and added the option to do the Scenic world which we really enjoyed having 90 minutes there to take all the rides and leisurely do the forest boardwalk. Dave was with us to take care and explain trees and animals. We came back to Sydney on the ferry for 45minutes ending our best day in Oz.

It's only 2 hours flying for us to Sydney, so for 3 days we went to Sydney , mainly to stay in the mountains. Darren took us on a private tour of areas we didn't see last time then he dropped us at the Hydro hotel ,old and beautiful. We did some hikes ourselves and the next day Darren explained how we can take the train back to Sydney. Was a nice option having him takes us there and come back by train. More great service by the Blue Ribbon company.

Our first day in Sydney the weather was so good we went to the Blue mountains on a private tour with Dave Taylor as our expert driver and guide. We got the most out of a very beautiful excursion, Dave knows all the right places to take you away from the crowds yet seeing such beaut scenery. A must do was to ride the little train and gondolas, we even avoided all the queue lines there. Loved Featherdale park to see lots of koalas and kangaroos.We opted to be dropped back to our Hyatt day, it was all magic.

This is a professionally organised company who do everything right to make the day in the Blue mountains great. Their planning and schedule is so good we got to see all the sites in good time.All together a fantastic day and we will tell all our friends to use you on their trip.

From the moment Dave fetched us from our Hyatt hotel we knew the day was to be good. He detailed the day to us and then we were offered any preferences we had. Along the way we made a few scenic stops and a craft store for my wife. The Grand Canyon is immense and so green, it was brilliant, along with Dave's explanations of geography, animals, birds etc...is there nothing he doesn't know ? The wildlife zoo to pat a kangaroo and to see so many koalas finished a wonderful day. It's sure much better having an local to guide you, he was brilliant and thanks a million.

Having never been to Australia we relied on these reviews to select a private trip of the Blue Mountains. Dave sounded pretty good when we called up, and he sure lived up to his reputation. He was friendly and attentive and a fountain of all things about Sydney and the mountains - geology, plants, animals ,the lot. We struck spring time when it all looked so colourful albeit, a bit cool at 13 degrees. Gentle walks with Dave, the beautiful Leura village, up close with koala bears and kangaroos, and a comfortable ride made our day one to be recommended.

It was a great private excursion by Dave for just us - he is so knowledgeable and skilled giving us a good historical perspective of everything ,he is engaging to answer any question. The views were clear and thrilling, the day could not have been any better.

This was our first ever private tour as it costs a bit more. But it was so worth it, to have the freedom of the time to ourselves, AND to have Dave as our chauffeur for the day at the Blue mountain. On the way we visited koalas and kagaroos, then it was a lovely scenic drive up the mountain and the road wasn’t even windy. Dave took us to various viewpoints and an easy 30 minute bush stroll. It was a most enjoyable day and Dave showed his true worth giv8ng us heaps of things to learn and understand. The mountains are a piece of artistry by nature.

It is worth the long trip downunder to see all Australia has to offer. Our private tour for a whole day out in tjhe Blue mountain was a highlight. Dave made it even better, not to mention having time up close with koala bears and kangeroos. Fresh mountain air, amazing blossom trees in springtime and cute villages makes an amazing day. Dave ene fetched us from our Hyatt Sydney hotel and returned us there at 5pm, we enjoyed a most comfortable ride and e taught us so many things, and even he can throw a boomerang. Is there anything he doesnt know about his unique country.. Thanks a million, Dave !

Dave was the perfect ambassador for Australia. So much knowledge of Sydney and the Blue mountains. We had the best day and could easily do it all again. The mountains are a most unique and diverse environment, nothing like we have in the USA.

It’s the perfect day for a family to see all of the Blue mountain. We had Dave to ourselves from pick up at our Hyatt Sydney hotel, we requested 9am and wanted a bit later return at 7 pm, that was no trouble for him. You can see he enjoys his job and is an expert on everything about the mountains sites and nature. We felt so comfortable being with him, as did our two teenage boys of 16 and 18y. He escorted right thru Scenic world and along the forest boardwalk so we did not get lost. We did so much sightseeing and views it was amazing and fulfilled our life long dream of bringing our family here. Of course being spring time with all the blossom trees made it even better. We recommend Dave to all other visitors to Sydney.
