I took a tour with Kelvin Sung! I couldn't find any other platform that offered such a cost-effective and comprehensive tour. I actually wanted to do Scenic World (cable car, etc.) and also see the stars, but I couldn't find any tour that did both! Still, I wanted to see the stars more, so I booked the star tour. Also, other platforms only allow schedule changes up to 3 days before the tour, but this one stated that changes were possible any time before the tour. So, I purchased it here in case the weather was bad. Despite that, I was anxious because the weather forecast showed rain starting a week before my flight... but today, July 3rd!! I was able to quietly enjoy the best night sky and Milky Way! It seemed like the tour had about 15 people, and Kelvin Sung, our tour guide, had such a great voice, and his passion for the tour was incredibly strong! When there were many people, he proactively and immediately adjusted the tour schedule to best suit the guests; he was completely professional! I once took a similar mountain tour in Germany, and that guide just showed us the scenery, and that was it, plus he smelled a bit like cigarettes... but this tour's vehicle was really clean, and the guide was so kind and cheerful!! He talked a lot in the car, but I actually liked it! His stories were all profound, and he spoke so well!!! He truly managed to drive and talk simultaneously so skillfully, it was amazing. If it were me, I would definitely say I want a tour with Kelvin Sung and book it! The guide was more passionate than any other tour guide. Furthermore, he mentioned that it's hard to see a perfect Milky Way on a star tour because it requires good skies and luck, but it was wonderful to be able to see it with my mom today! If you want a tour guide who proactively plans the itinerary to avoid crowds so you can enjoy it privately, and who is bright and friendly, then definitely book with Kelvin Sung!

Our minibus driver/tour guide was very accommodating and shared a lot of insights and fun facts about Sydney. The schedule was flexible and he moved the Three Sister to the afternoon because it was foggy in the morning. The package included tickets to the 3 main rides in Scenic World which was fun. We had enough time to go around, rest and relax. Pick-up and drop-off at the meeting point was hassle-free. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Was expecting a tight schedule based on the itinerary shown however it turns out to be way relaxing than I thought. Mark was a very good explainer & driver & tour guide throughout the trip. What amaze me is that he is able to constantly explain interesting facts and knowledge about australia which i have never thought of and it makes the whole trip more complete. Honestly i get to know more about australia be it the culture/animals from him. Besides the whole trip was well organized and we get to fully experience the beautiful culture and scenary of what blue mountain provides. Definitely an A+ tour for me.

We had a wonderful experience with Jimmy as our guide. He was exceptionally organised, funny and highly informative throughout the tour. We visited 4 places and they were interesting and beuatiful.His explanations were detailed and engaging, helping us appreciate the history and significance of the places we visited. Although we did not understand Korean, we were able to follow along easily using a translation app. The Blue Mountains were absolutely stunning, with breathtaking scenery at every turn. Thanks to Jimmy's excellent guidance, the trip was both enjoyable and memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing Blue Mountains Tour! 🌟 We had a wonderful day exploring the Blue Mountains. The weather was perfect—bright, sunny skies, but definitely freezing cold, so make sure to dress warmly! At Scenic World, we enjoyed all three rides, and each one offered spectacular views of the mountains and rainforest. It was one of the highlights of the trip. Lunch at Glenbrook was a nice break before continuing the tour. We also visited Sydney Zoo, and the African and Asian sections were absolutely amazing. Seeing the animals up close was a fantastic experience for both adults and children. A special thank you to our guide, Phil, who made the day even more memorable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining, and shared many helpful tips throughout the tour. His enthusiasm truly enhanced our experience. Overall, this was an excellent tour. Highly recommended for families and anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Blue Mountains and Sydney Zoo in one day! 🌄🦘🐨
