Sydney Day trips

Taking the guided tour of the Sydney Opera House was an unforgettable experience that truly brought this architectural masterpiece to life. While its striking sails are breathtaking from the outside, stepping inside reveals an even deeper level of beauty, history, and innovation. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating stories — from the challenges of its construction to insights into performances that have graced its stages. We explored several of the main performance halls, and walked through areas not usually open to the public. The tour provided a real appreciation for both the artistry and engineering behind the Opera House. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a performing arts lover, or just curious about one of the world’s most iconic buildings, this tour is well worth your time.

Jayden made us feel comfortable from beginning to end, so both kids and adults could enjoy the tour. The explanations during the commute were fun and easy to understand, and he mixed in jokes here and there, so the whole family walked around laughing. (He's the Yoo Jae-suk of Australia, haha) He takes really good photos, so we were able to take family photos. He tells you poses naturally and even frames the shots 😊 Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Blue Mountains and make many good memories. If I have another chance, I would like to be with him again!

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!

We had an amazing time today though the weather did not do us a favour. We couldn't get to see any Blue mountains nor 3 sisters etc. But we simply love the heavy fog and the walk in the Rainforest. Our tour guide Lower ( I'm not sure how to spell his name) was amazing. He tried his best to make sure we still get to enjoy the trip despite the weather and we did! He will think of something for us to experience which I think is remarkable!

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.

Meet at 12:30 PM. The entire trip will head south from Sydney, passing through two national parks as stops along the way. We'll get out to see the ocean views, waterfalls, and use the restroom. Dinner is at 5:30 PM. The highlight is visiting super cute wild kangaroos and wombats after dinner. The tour guide will also be our photographer, taking close-up photos of us (kangaroos within ten meters, wombats within two meters). On the way back, we'll pass through darker areas in the countryside to look at the starry sky and use the restroom, arriving back at the city center subway station around 10:30 PM. The first half is relatively dull, feeling a bit like it was deliberately added to enrich the itinerary. Anyway, the highlight is the part after dinner; seeing wild wombats and kangaroos is ten times more enjoyable than seeing them in a zoo. The tour guide introduced local culture and colloquialisms, but I couldn't understand the English jokes due to my poor English skills. The entire trip involves visiting free national parks and rest areas, making it suitable for travelers who don't want to drive themselves.
