This tour is brimming with family-friendly activities, has everything included and promises to deliver an unforgettable day!

Your exclusive Blue Mountains adventure begins with a private pick-up, either from your Sydney CBD hotel or directly from your cruise ship at White Bay Cruise Terminal or the Overseas Passenger Terminal – perfect for those with limited time in port. With the flexibility of a private tour, we’ll set off westward at a time that suits your group, ensuring you enjoy the very best of the Blue Mountains at your own pace. Along the way, your highly rated guide will tailor the day to your group’s interests, sharing expert knowledge while you travel through stunning mountain ranges into the very heart of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed region.

The tour guide Kunal was great. He was very friendly and was incredibly knowledgeable about the History of Australia, the animals and of course the Blue Mountains. Scenery and Lunch was fantastic aswell.

Patrick

I had an amazing time with our tour guide Rin. Very funny, smart, explained well and we avoided crowded areas with some good techniques. Worth the price.

Inna De Mey

We had the pleasure of joining Ron's tour on Dec 29. She is an excellent tour guide who gave us a memorable day. Rin is great at herding a diverse group, anticipating issues and time management.

Rinko and Edmond

From a tourist's perspective, this is a great way to spend a day outside the city and take in some of Australia's natural beauty. Rin was a great tour guide and made the day easy.

Ben

We had an amazing time. Kunal was informative and entertaining; his descriptions and stories made the tour a highlight of our trip to Sydney. We highly recommend him as the guide to ask for when taking a tour to the Blue Mountains.

Great low stress way to see a lot in a day. Rin was a great guide. Knowledgeable but not overbearing with non stop facts. She was very pleasant and funny and wove that into facts and history. 100% would recommend.
