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.

    I had a quick interaction with our tour guide (Adam) before we got on the bus and I knew it was going to be a great/fun day ahead! Adam was hilarious and the tour felt very personalized as Adam grew up in the Blue Mountains. He provided so much knowledge and I appreciated some being very hands on. I absolutely loved stopping for coffee and supporting local businesses in the Blue Mountains. The day flew by! (Plenty of water/ restroom breaks too)

    Extremely well run excursion. Crew were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dive boat was clean and spacious. Food was very good, even had motion sickness pills even though ride was quite smooth. Very organized when at dive locations, breaking into multiple groups for PADI divers, learning divers and snorkelers. The locations were terrific. Safety was never a concern as crew watch and monitored everything. We had a great day and would recommend this trip.

    This trip was well worth the money. Plenty to see and do. Some beautiful sights and a good variety of places to see. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and had some interesting experiences to tell us about. We picked up the trip from Port Douglas which was ideal for this area

    We booked the trip to the Blue Mountains as we had a couple of days in Sydney. We found FJ Tours on Tripadvisor and the day tour to the Blue Mountains seemed like good value when compared to similar tours.
    We were picked up, promptly from a hotel near to where we were staying, in a small air-conditioned coach (35 seats) the tour was full.
    Ben, the driver/guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
    Our first stop was at the Featherdale Wildlife Park, a super little park that is home to many native animals - wallabies, koalas, etc. all the animals looked to be well cared for and the staff were happy to talk about them.
    After the visit to the park we went to a small town where we had time to find some lunch, not included in the tour, then on to Scenic World and the iconic Three Sisters rock formation. All three rides at Scenic World were included in the visit, which gave excellent views of the rocks and the surrounding area.
    After this we started back towards Sydney and our drop off at the ferry for our return to the city. As we were making good time Ben took us for a short tour of the Sydney Olympic Park before dropping us at the Olympic Park Ferry Terminal.
    The tour outline did say that we would have a ‘cruise back to Circular Quay’ it was not clear that we would need to pay for this ourselves, although Ben did give us all a $10 rebate to pay for this. However it was necessary to have an Opal Card or a bank card to buy a single trip ticket. Perhaps providing the tickets would be a better option.
    Overall we had a very enjoyable day

    Recently joined the Diamond Tours Blue Mountain/Three Sisters/Scenic World with its "Dinosaur theme"/Sydney Zoo/Sydney Harbour ferry small group day-tour and I had a very enjoyable time. The Blue mountains region offered spectacular natural scenery, lots of photo opportunities of the Three Sisters geologic features, Scenic World's steepest railcar ride was fun, we enjoyed time at the zoo closeup with koalas and kangaroos, and our knowledgeable tour guide/driver named Helder, worked hard to provide continuous historical, cultural, touristic and interesting facts about Sydney and Australia, with his unique sense of humor, almost comedic style. Well done, Helder! For those seeking a fun, actionpacked, full-day tour outside Sydney, I highly recommend this tour.

    Very considerate guide, who particularly cared for a couple of whom the husband was blind. Scenery in all places visited was spectacular, good observations by guide local history and floral, and fauna. The lunch was in a superb bush cafe with a knowledgeable cafe owner pleased to show us all the local foods.
    Great Daintree river trip in which we saw several basking crocodiles. Tropical rain forest is amazing. Great trip.

    We had a fabulous time with the other Steve! So much fun, and we really had the opportunity to interact with the animals which was the highlight of the trip. Enjoyed every minute! Steve was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we felt very safe the entire trip. I would highly recommend this tour if you have a short period of time and you want to see a lot!

    Great interesting tour showing the beautiful beaches and an easy nature walk to the pinnacles. The views are spectacular and Kerry was a wonderful guide. This tour is so much nicer than the big tour buses.

    My family and I went on this trip towards the end of November and the whole trip was absolutely fantastic and was easily the most enjoyable day of my entire week-long trip in Tassie. My favourite part of the entire trip would have to be Mt Field National Park - the air was so fresh, there was wildlife (mainly Pademelons) around that would occasionally come near the path and the whole fallen-trees-covered-in-moss made me feel like I was transported right into a fantasy novel! Our tour group was led by the exceptional local guide Jarrod who was an absolute delight. Jarrod's extensive knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and friendly demeanor created an unparalleled travel experience. I would highly recommend this tour to people who would like to see various sights further away from Hobart without worrying about timing, driving around yourself or just want to learn interesting facts about the places you're visiting from a local.
