I really recommend this tour. The Operator & the guide (Kelvin Sung) were both very helpful. I was late (my fault), but after discussing with the Operator, she coordinated us well and I was able to meet up with the group in the 1st location. Itinerary-wise, it could’ve been a little longer in some places like Leura & Echo Point, but I understand we were trying to get back to the city in time with the fire works at Darling Harbour. Due to the weather condition that day — it was cloudy with light rain, we weren’t able to do stargazing, BUT Kelvin made sure we made the most out of the trip by still bringing us to a cliff with such a breathtaking view (after a little hike). Even if it was a Korean group, Kelvin ensured that I didn’t feel left out and I was well accommodated. I was traveling solo, so I really appreciate him putting the extra effort. Overall, this tour is worth it. I will certainly recommend this to my friends visiting Sydney and is looking for a day-tour from the city.

I'm so glad I joined the tour; five stars isn't enough, I was extremely satisfied. Although it was cloudy and occasionally rainy on the morning of the tour, which made me a little anxious, the weather improved as the tour progressed, and I was able to enjoy the amazing scenery. More than that, I was impressed by the guide, Hide. Hide's speaking skills were outstanding, and his knowledge and experience were vast, keeping me engrossed the entire time. At the zoo, he shared the latest information, such as the recent independence of the baby koala and the Tasmanian devil's favorite hiding spots, and accurately guided us to the best spots for taking photos. Furthermore, he carefully pointed out the 'must-see' spots in the zoo and recommended routes at Scenic World in Katoomba, allowing us to maximize our enjoyment even with limited time. In many tours, you're often left to your own devices after reaching the destination, but Hide always made a point of checking in with us, even during free time, showing he cared, which gave us a great sense of security. I don't think there are many guides who value each participant as much as he does. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. If I ever have the opportunity to visit the Blue Mountains again, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Hide's tour.

I spent a day on this tour during my Sydney trip and it was truly satisfying. From the morning pickup to the itinerary, everything was systematically managed, so I could enjoy it comfortably. At Featherdale Wildlife Park, I was thrilled to see koalas and kangaroos up close. The view of the Blue Mountains was much grander than the pictures I had seen, and the cable car and railway at Scenic World were thrilling and fun. The guide explained everything in detail and took good care of the photo spots in between, so I had a fulfilling day. If you visit Sydney, I highly recommend it!

The Blue Mountains tour with guide Young was truly the best. Because we departed right on time, the schedule wasn't disrupted at all, and the day was packed full. It wasn't just a course of seeing observation decks, but also a meticulously guided trek, so I felt like I saw the Blue Mountains properly and deeply. They also captured great photo points, and the explanations were easy to understand, so even though it was my first visit, I could enjoy it much more richly. Thanks to that, I'm taking away a deep, proper experience of the Blue Mountains. If I come again next time, it's a tour I definitely want to do again. Thank you :)

Great experience visiting the Blue Mountains! The tour was well organized and included amazing stops like Scenic World and Sydney Zoo. Everything went smoothly and the views were absolutely beautiful. A special shoutout to our guide/driver Phil — he was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited. Most especially, he was really funny and kept the whole group entertained during the drive. It made the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The majestic scenery of the Blue Mountains offers a visual and physical escape when you ascend to take in the views. The activity starts with a photo op at Lincoln's Rock, where you can sit on the edge of the cliff – the driver/guide will help take pictures, but be mindful of your own safety as there's an endless drop below. I have a fear of heights and felt dizzy, so I took the picture standing up. Next, we went to Echo Point to admire the Three Sisters rock formation up close and appreciate their unwavering, resilient spirit. Then came the highlight of the tour – experiencing three different cable cars at Blue Mountains National Park. For the red cable car, which has the steepest incline, it's best to hold onto your backpack and not leave it on the empty seat next to you, because the descent gets incredibly steep, and your bag will likely fall down to several seats in front of you. After the descent, there's a forest trail with many lifelike dinosaur displays. The whole itinerary is quite relaxing, and at lunchtime, you'll go to town for a free meal, where you can choose your favorite restaurant.

Perfect way to squeeze in as many activities as possible in 1 day! The pace was doable for us (2 pax), however, I understand how many people feel rushed. We only had 1 hour for lunch at Leura. But I honestly feel like the tour did the best it could given the time constraints and amount of things to do. Not to mention, it's so much cheaper than renting your own car. I feel like it was definitely worth it, but maybe plan your route and priorities ahead (e.g. we went straight to the Australian animals at the zoo, or deciding immediately at a restaurant for lunch). If you have a big group, might be good to separate or just plan ahead. Paul was fantastic and so kind, he was the driver and tour guide in one. He handled the tour and the people quite well, despite having a Karen on board 😅 If you're looking for a great way to squeeze all of these activities in without having to think too much, this is a great tour. Just be ready for some time constraints. All in all, we had a great time.

I didn’t realise this tour didn’t not come with the Sydney zoo entrance ticket and scenic world entrance ticket, so we had to top up 93 dollars, but it was worth it. the tour guide Bruce was knowledgeable and provided lots of info about the tour and some history of Australia. it was a great tour. the views were amazing.

we had fantastic experience with this tour package! I’m glad I booked this with Andersons via klook. Our tour guide Grant is knowledgeable and make sure we are entertained and laugh. He guided us nicely and plan accordingly to make sure we able to visit the all the places. He also arranged the photos with Koala to have discounted value. Thank you Grant!
