Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have lived in Perth 40 years & have visited Sydney 7 times. Therefore we have seen / done most of the usual tourist haunts & needed something a little different.
David from "Escape Scenes" & his 'Private Southern Coast & Southern Highlands" tour fit the bill perfectly.
In the past we have taken many Group Tours & Cruise Ship Day Tours by Coach or Minibus on our travels, but this was only our 2nd Private Driver tour.
Obviously more expensive than a group tour, but is more than worth it. Having full flexibility to make changes to the already diverse Itinerary was a blessing.
It was evident right from the start that David was very knowledgeable on the area, a very safe / skilled Driver & loves his job.
We cannot recommend 'Escape Scenes' highly enough, for what was a terrific drive around the area with a very accommodating personal driver - well done David & thank you for your patience.
Unfortunately our particular tour was effected slightly by the terrible bush fires N.S.W. were experiencing at the time, we only lost a few beautiful views, our thoughts go out to the poor residents who have lost everything.

We had a great day touring the Blue Mountains with David. Even though the weather did not cooperate David went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time. He customized the tour to accommodate all our different abilities and interests. He even went out of his way at the end of the tour to show us a few extra sites as we came back into Sydney including driving us across the bridge twice! He shared his expansive knowledge of the area and made us feel very comfortable.

Knowing most of my guests have limited time in Sydney to see the sights, I always strive to deliver a unique experience for them. I enjoy that my tours are more of a conversation rather than me simply rattling off commentary. This aids me in shaping the day to work not only with the conditions we were faced with in the rain but also based on your interests. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thank you David.

Amazing trip planned on the spot thanks to his recommendations we avoided the crowds. He Made us fell very comfortable not only for his skills as a tour guide, photographer, babysitter ;) (he looked after our girls while they were a slept in the car) but also with his tips and interesting explanations. Every penny spent on the trip was worthy. Not only we visited the blue mountains but also a petting zoo and a charming little village were we could stroll around at the middle of our trip to rest a bit :)) thanks David you made an amazing job.

We only had a day in Sydney and decided to book this private tour to the Blue Mountains. We are so glad that we did! David, our tour guide and owner of Escape Scenes was fantastic. He is super flexible depending upon what you want to see and what is important. He adjusts the itinerary to meet your goals. We were able to see everything that was important to us without the headache of a large tour group. We would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent day touring the blue mountains. We saw the 3 sisters. Had many photos. Had a cider tasting stopped for little apple pies and saw spectacular views. David was fantastic and taught us a lot including the Australian slang. He had tremendous enthusiasm and worked around Road closures and our very specific goals to accomplish a great tour. Would definitely recommend going with David. Research ahead of time to see what interests you He even took us through feather dale personally. to see the kangaroos the wombats and even a crocodile Comfortable van also

Thank you for your wonderful feedback guys. It was an adventure this day I remember running all over the place in search of Kangaroos in the wild. We did get to see them in the park after all. We had some great conversations, I always love learning about people and this is a great way of doing so. Thank you again for coming along on this tour. Appreciated, David

My husband and I only had one day to visit the Blue Mountains from downtown Sydney, and booking a private tour with Escape Scenes was a wise choice. We booked it on-line from Vancouver, Canada one week in advance and all went smoothly and as planned.

If you are thinking of booking a private tour to the Blue Mountains from Sydney, go for it with Escape Scenes! David, bussiness owner, will be your driver and guide.
David picked us early in the morning from our hotel and dropped us back in the evening, which was really convenient. His profesionalism was outstanding the whole trip. He is passionated about what he does and we could not have chosen a better travel companion.

David took the time to learn about our expectations and accomodate our requests. He was knowledgeable about the area, with excellent driving skills, and super friendly. He tried to avoid the crowds as much as possible and showed us a couple spots outside the mainatream.

Thank you so much for such a great day, David!

We did the private Sydney tour with David and it was great. He made special accommodations for us, given that we had booked on one of the busiest days at the Harbor with celebrations and fireworks. Van was luxurious, AC and complimentary cool drinks were greatly appreciated. His knowledge of the area is clearly evident, and passion about the city of Sydney, surrounding harbor and beaches made for an excellent day trip.

Dave is an excellent driver very safe and very comfortable vehicle. He gives an interesting commentary and looks after all your needs as they arise. He works with your group to plan the day but has proactive suggestions and is flexible around your plans.

We were two couples and would not hesitate to recommend him safe in the knowledge that he will deliver a first class service.
