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.
