On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, I visited Featherdale Wildlife Park and Blue Mountains Scenic World with Zigzag Tour. My parents and I went together, and they didn't find it too strenuous, and they were very satisfied with the tour itinerary! The guide gave excellent and entertaining explanations before and after entering Featherdale and the Blue Mountains, and the directions were great, ensuring that everyone on the tour didn't get confused, haha. It was wonderful to experience Australian wildlife and nature together at Featherdale Wildlife Park, haha. We were also able to tour the Blue Mountains comfortably, as the guide provided thoughtful explanations and led us on a light trek, not just to Echo Point Lookout!!

On Tuesday, March 10th, I went on the Featherdale Wildlife Park + Blue Mountains tour with Zigzag Tour. I highly recommend taking a photo with a koala at Featherdale. They're incredibly cute, and it's a fantastic opportunity to touch their bottoms! It was wonderful to see the Three Sisters peaks in the Blue Mountains from various lookout points. The guide also showed us new hidden spots based on the weather, making for a very fulfilling trip!

I went on the Featherdale & Scenic World tour on March 10th with the kind travel agency 'Zigzag' Tour. Since I was on a self-guided trip to Australia, I considered renting a car and doing the Blue Mountains tour myself, but I thought there might be trial and error as it was my first time, so I booked a tour instead. The tour proceeded in the order of 'Featherdale' -> 'Lunch in Leura Village' -> 'Blue Mountains'. Our guide provided detailed explanations during transit and adjusted the schedule, which was great! I was especially grateful that they took us to a 'hidden spot' in the Blue Mountains, which wasn't on the regular itinerary, and even took photos for us. If you want to tour the Blue Mountains but find a self-guided trip overwhelming, or if you want to see cute animal friends at Featherdale Wildlife Park in addition to the Blue Mountains tour, I highly recommend the 'Zigzag' Tour!

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!

Our tour guide, Jayden, was friendly and entertaining. Although the explanations were in Korean, he also provided English reminders for all meeting and departure times. He also speaks Chinese, so communication was absolutely seamless, and the tour concluded smoothly. Highly recommended!

My friend came from China to visit me in Sydney, and to make things easy and ensure she could understand the commentary, I booked this one-day tour for us. It turned out to be the perfect choice! 😊 First, we went to the cliff lookout, and the valley was incredibly spectacular. Then came the Zig Zag Railway, which we were most looking forward to 📸. The vintage train slowly made its way through the mountains, and the scenery along the way was beautiful and great for photos! Afterward, of course, we visited the classic Three Sisters peaks, followed by Scenic World 🌿. The overall itinerary was quite smooth, and the tour guide was very enthusiastic ❤️. We saw all the classic Blue Mountains attractions in one day, and my friend had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! 👍

I thought I arrived a bit early, but Jimmy, our best guide for today, greeted me with a smile, making for a comfortable start to the trip. The explanations he gave about Australian history and the places we visited during the journey made it even more enriching. What was even more surprising was that he called himself a 'weather fairy' and shared several anecdotes... amazing! It started raining around lunchtime, but when we actually arrived at our destination, the rain subsided, making his 'weather fairy' claim feel real. Even though it was an early start and could have been tiring, his initial enthusiasm lasted until the very end... absolutely the best! JIMMY!!! I acknowledge you are the best in Sydney. See you next time~~~ From Logan.
