Blue Mountains Special Full Day Tour With Return Harbour Cruise

Our tour guide Bruce was fantastic! He gave us a bit of history and trivia regarding the places we'd be visiting. The entrance fees for the zoo and scenic world are not included in the fee, which was a good touch since some people don't really want to participate in some of the activities. We had to hike up to some viewpoints, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes! Bring a big bottle of water; you can leave it at the minibus. The ride was comfortable, and taking this tour was definitely better than doing it yourself. There are specific pickup points to choose from, but the drop-off would be at the pier, where they would give you $10 for a ferry ride to Circular Quay.

The tour was fantastic and kudos to our guide Bruce, he made the trip interesting because of the bits and pieces of information he shared all throughout the journey. Highly recommended if you want a tour that’s bang for the buck! The tour’s well-paced, we didn’t feel that we’re in a hurry. There’s enough time allotted to each spot. You’ll also enjoy a sunset view of the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House at the end of the tour!

Our family had the most wonderful day exploring the Blue Mountains with Oz Trails, & we have to give a massive shout-out to our guide, Bruce. As parents of a 7-year-old with ADHD and autism, we were initially nervous about how a full-day group tour would go. Bruce was absolutely incredible. He showed patience, never rushing, & went out of his way to engage my son in the natural surroundings at his own pace. He made my child feel completely included & understood, turning what could have been a stressful day into a positive, memorable experience. Full disclosure: I do want to give a fair warning to other travelers: while the tour is fantastic, there are added costs for some opt-in activities. As clearly shown on the itinerary, entry to both the Sydney Zoo & Scenic World are not included in the base price. We had to pay extra. So budget accordingly—but it was definitely worth the extra cost! Overall, a full, beautifully organized day. Thank you, Bruce for your kindness & expertise.

I was thrilled to see the beauty of the Blue Mountains, which was covered by the Oz Trails planned itinerary. I would like to give a big thumbs up to the guide (and also driver at the same time). He is too good to be a guide and highly recommended!

The guide is very good. Our tour guide, Les, has many interesting stories, including being hit by lightning. He explained how trees survive through different conditions, talked about the lyrebird, and shared all the important details of the tourist spot. There was just one confusion on our boat ride: he gave us 10 AUD, and I used my card to tap on and tap off, which charged me 24 AUD.

Really enjoyed the day trip out to Blue Mountain & Sydney Zoo! Our guides, Les & Andre briefed us on the locations history & biology! Was a great day out!

Les is a very cheerful and highly knowledgeable guide who clearly loves his job and genuinely prioritizes his customers’ experience. He shared many fun stories throughout the trip, and his knowledge of the Blue Mountains was truly impressive, there was hardly a question he couldn’t answer. The tour was very well organized: we managed to keep the schedule without ever feeling rushed, yet we still saw an incredible number of places during this approximately 10-hour day trip. His bus was clean and comfortable, and thanks to the discounted entry tickets he arranged, the tour actually ended up being more affordable than many other options. I highly recommend this tour and would like to thank Les for such a fantastic experience.

The trip to the Blue Mountains is a great trip and the views are tremendous. Our guide Bruce is fantastic, sharing lots of great facts and anecdotes about the places. A good option is that you can choose to participate in an activity (at extra cost) or not. Staying at Leura for lunch is just too much time wasted as it becomes very busy with tourists and it is very small. It's a pity we had a cloudy day that caused a lot of haze on the top of the valley and grey surroundings. Also, at the end of the trip, the guide found out that the ticket machine for the boat back to the city was not working and everyone had to pay themselves with a card (we got a cash refund), but cash was useless for me as we are leaving tomorrow. Bruce should have just taken all the guests back to the city on the bus, just as we came instead. But the trip is recommended.

great experience altough we were cut short and didn't go to the grovetts leap. also sceneic world is not that good. but apart the host was really amazing though i forgot his name😅.

Les is the best! Seriously, the man is a tour guide, driver, historian, comedian, and apparently Mr. Lightning all rolled into one. 😂 He’s incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Definitely one of the highlights of the tour! Oh, and yeah… the tour itself was pretty great too! 😄 The Blue Mountains were absolutely spectacular and majestic, and we were lucky enough to have fantastic weather throughout the day. The views were definitely the star of the show. The two waterfalls—Katoomba Falls and Bridal Veil Falls—were a little underwhelming, though. Maybe the waterfalls were having an off day. 😂 Overall, it was a wonderful experience, made even better by an excellent guide and some truly breathtaking scenery. Would definitely recommend!
