It was a wonderful group tour to blue mountains.Rin was the name of our guide.She amused all the members with her knowledge and humour.Really unforgettable but the mountains were not blue😊 scenic views and that gandola ,the story of three sisters and train ride was excellent ❤️
Gabriel, was patient, informative and kind. He was the best tour leader I have witnessed in a very long time and why I don’t usually book tours. Thank you Gabriel!
Brilliant fun packed day. Our guide Rin was excellent very prompt and informative and made the day so much fun. The lunch was very nice and accommodated all dietary requirements.
We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Jay. I couldn’t believe the amount of knowledge he had about the blue mountains. The day we went was clear views but very windy and cold. Even so, my wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was easy to meet up in Sydney and leave on the tour, which I appreciate. The rest of the day was just set and forget and enjoy the tour! Also stopping at the wild animal park was surprisingly good!! You really get to interact with some Australian animals! We loved it.
Wow! This tour was perfect from beginning to end. Prompt pick up from our hotel. Small bus was comfortable and group was the perfect size. Our tour guide and driver, Jay, gave us so much info, history and stories throughout the entire day!! Read More...
Well structured. Gabe- excellent and knowledgeable guide. Good lunch venue. More mountains lookouts shorter zoo.
I’ll be honest, my family of 3 is not usually one to do a packaged tour. Normally, we’d just rent a car and find our own adventures. However, we had no regrets with this tour. Our guide was Steve, who possessed a wealth of knowledge on all things Australia and beyond, and had a great sense of humor. Read More...
Took a trip with Anderson tours great price and experience tour guide KAT.was great knew all the answers to all questions asked and was a great laugh and made you feel at ease tour was long but worth every penny
The trip was great you couldn’t see that much on your own it was well worth doing. We have a three year old and he loved it as much as us. Our tour guide Tom was fantastic.
Amazing! Lovely views round the Mountains, good lunch and a fab trip to Sydney zoo to feed kangaroos and have our photo taken with a Koala. Our tour guide Kat was full of facts the whole day and absolutely brilliant. Thanks Kat!
We had a blast going around the blue mountains with our guide! The bus was very comfortable, our trip was on-time. Lunch was fantastic!
Early start but our guide and small bus were already waiting. Weather wasn’t on our side but Steve (guide) had been brought up in the Blue Mountains and knew how to make the best of a bad weather day. He was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. Read More...
