  A GREAT DAY OUT - Picked up on time by our EXCELLENT driver/guide Matthew and given a tour of various parts of Sydney while we filled the bus . had a surprise stop at the... read more West Sydney Zoo which we really enjoyed. eventually got to the top of the mountains where our expected view of the Great Valley was spoiled by mist, so Plan B was instigated....a walk down about 300 steps to Wentworth Falls, which I had never previously visited , Well worth the effort & energy exerted.
Energy was replenished with lunch at the lovely little village of Leura, which reminded me of Bangalow in northern NSW. Then off to the Scenic cable car, etc. & view of the 3 Sisters, before heading homewards. This section was broken by a transfer to a ferry when we got back closer to the Parramatta River, and thence to Circular Quay, before another ferry ride back to Manly.
Altogether a most enjoyable day, and very well priced.

  Great day at blue mountain - Enjoyable day at the Blue Mountains with an experienced and friendly driver- Les. Will recommend this company - oz trail

  If you are looking at a Blue Mountains tour don't look anywhere else, this tour was absolutely perfect. It allows flexibility with only paying for the activities you want to... read more see and do . Matthew our bus driver and tour guide was very informative and interesting from the beginning to the end of the tour. This is a small group tour and therefore the bus was able to access areas that a bigger bus would not be able to access, eg Lincoln's Rock ( breathtaking !)

  Fab trip covering many attractions - Excellent trip and Matthew was a brilliant and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the day covering the zoo and photos with koalas; stopping points for great views at Wentworth Falls... read more and Katoomba; lunch at the pretty town of Leura; scenic world rides and views of the Three Sisters; and the ferry back to Darling Harbour. Note the zoo, scenic world rides are not included in the price but Matthew can provide these if you want. If not he will suggest alternatives such as a walk at scenic world. Lunch is not included. We highly recommend the deli for a takeaway salad.

  Recommend - Great narrative from Les the tour driver who worked hard to please diverse group. It was a public holiday with heavy traffic, he used his local knowledge to avoid as... read more much traffic congestion as he could. Thanks to him we enjoyed our day

  A must! - Such a great day! Les was a fantastic tour guide, full of area facts, and was always prepared to crack a dad joke! Thanks for a great tour!!

  So Beautiful We Loved It - We loved this experience!!!! Something to note that wasn't negative but important is that you should purchase Zoo and Scenic Ride tickets through your guide. This was not accurately explained... read more before the trip as it says that you can purchase them on your own; while true, it is a much smoother experience to buy through the guide. We feel like the guide was genuine, knowledgeable, personable, funny, and gave us a personal experience of the area. We enjoyed all of the nature hikes and stops on the way back from the Blue Mountains. So much beauty every where we turned! It was especially helpful to have a local and someone who knows the area. He had a lot of great stories and knew so much about the ecosystem. Very fun day, the kids, adults, and grandparents all loved it. Heads up Lunch in the town mentioned was very spendy. Also the end of they day boat ride was a ferry and we loved it!

  Mushrooms and spiders lol - If you get Les as your tour guide it’s pretty funny when he starts with the spiders and the mushrooms. Very entertaining and informative tour.

  Les is our tour guide for the blue mountain tour. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He is engaging and funny. He took good care of every individuals in his... read more tour group well. He managed the tour very well even though there is some tourist which don’t follow his instructions. Highly recommend this tour to people who want to visit blue mountain.

  Fantastic trip - Above our expectations. Matthew made this trip so much better with his knowledge and sense of humor. He kept everyone on a time-line so we could pack in as... read more much as possible.

  A trip not to miss - We had the perfect guide in Les, he was on time and his knowledge was fantastic, he was giving us relevant information all the time, and had the odd joke... read more thrown in which made it even more enjoyable. He got us to the other sites early and got really good parking and vantage points.
Although the Zoo and Cable cars were not in the original price, they are well worth the extra cost, as is having your photograph with a Koala, which only tours can do.
The cable cars are really good and 3 trips on them for one price. The walk through the jungle before our final ride was very informative and gave us a lot of knowledge about the eco system within the forest and how it protects itself.
All in all a very good trip, possibly one of the best ones we have been on, and we have done lots of trips in lots of different countries, well done Les a fantastic day all round.

  Awesome excursion - Four long time friends, all of us senior citizens and seasoned travellers went on this trip and we really all cannot say enough good things about the experience. All four... read more of us have taken many different excursions in many different places over the years and this one ranked right up there with the best of them, and maybe could even be considered the best trip we've ever been on.

Les, our driver/tour guide, was one of the most knowledgeable persons we've ever met, with a superb personality that just makes you want to smile and enjoy the day. He put his heart and soul into making sure that everyone on the trip had the best day possible. 

We started off with a visit to Sydney Zoo, which we had to pay extra for, but Les gets quite a discount on the normal price. We got there just as the zoo opened, and he handed us over to a member of the zoo staff who took us down to the koala enclosure for photos with these lovely creatures. You have to pay a small fee for this, but again totally worth it. After this you have free time to explore the zoo before it gets too busy.

It was then onto the Elysian Rock Lookout for some amazing views and photo opportunities.

We finally rounded off the morning with lunch in the pretty garden village of Leura.

In the afternoon we visited Scenic World where we took the cable car across the gorge, then another steep one down into the gorge, followed by a walk through the rainforest and finally a ride on the steepest train in the Southern Hemisphere. Les gave us a great talk as we walked through the rainforest and imparted so much interesting information. This part of the trip is extra but again is totally worth the money, and is something that should not be missed, especially the train climb up the hill.

Onto Katoomba Falls for some happy snaps before we fed the wild cockatoos.

Finally, before leaving the national park, we visited Lincoln's Rock to get some more brilliant photos. 

We rounded off the day by going down the Parramatta River on the fast jet ferry to Circular Quay.

We would all thoroughly recommend this day and whatever Les's employers are paying him it isn't enough, as the guy is an absolute gem.

  Don’t Miss this, be sure to take Les along! - My friend and I felt that this was one of the best experiences in our travels. We feel that the guide sets the tone. Les, our guide, was... read more extremely intelligent, definitely knows his stuff and was very humorous. He was very inclusive with a group including young children through seniors.
First, we went to the Sydney Zoo where we were admitted before the general public. We got to take pictures with the Koalas first. We really liked the “open gate” policy of the zoo where it was up to each animal whether or not it went outside.
Next, was the first of several lookouts. This one was a little tricky getting to,my friend decided not to go.
Then we had lunch on our own. Les pointed out several places to eat.
After lunch we were off to Scenic World in the Blue Mountains for the cable car adventure. While the cable cars were entertaining, it was the walk to the train that really stood out for me. Although Les explained and entertained along the trip this is where he really shined. Les explained and demonstrated about the environmental conditions, past and present, in the area. We explored the area further seeing some cockatiels and a waterfall.
Next was Lincoln’s Rock. We once again had a picturesque overlook of the Blue Mountains.
Lastly, it was time to say goodbye to Les as we took the ferry down the Parramatta River under the Harbor Bridge and passed the Opera House.

  Must Do….. - Les, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout the day.

Recommend the trip as you will see the beauty Blue Mountains, Zoo, Ride... read more the Góndolas down into The Valley and end your day with a river cruise back to downtown Sydney.

Highly recommend the tour
