Stephen and Saed (sp?) were awesome. The zoo was so nice that you could enter before the zoo opens to the public so only a few people in the zoo. The Red cable car was really fun. They have USB plug in for the bus to charge so make sure you bring your cable. The group was small. The ride is kind of long on the way back so I would bring headphone and download a movie. I would highly recommend this tour. It is quite beautiful. I would definitely go back to Blue Mountain. Worth the trip away from Sydney proper. I have been to Sydney several times and never went to Blur Mountain. I will definitely return

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Max as our tour guide during our trip to the Blue Mountains and Sydney Zoo today. Max was not just our driver but also an incredible storyteller and guide who made the whole journey engaging and memorable. From the moment we got on the vehicle, Max’s friendly vibe and deep knowledge of the area set the tone for a fantastic day. His stories were captivating, blending history, culture, and fun facts that brought each location to life. He was attentive to everyone’s needs, ensuring we were comfortable, and kept the group energized throughout the tour. I loved how he shared stories about aboriginal history and the tale of the Three Sisters while driving. We’re so grateful for the experience—thanks Max for making our vacation unforgettable!

Had a fantastic day trip to the Blue Mountains today with driver and tour guide Max. He took great care of us and provided an excellent commentary along the way. The coach was very comfortable. The views were breathtaking and so beautiful. We had time at Scenic World to ride the cable car over the Jamison Valley and then take the scenic cable car down to the rainforest, where we enjoyed the extensive boardwalk. Then back up to the cafe and shop on the thrilling 52 degrees railway—such fun and a great way to spend a day.

    I was searching for a Japanese tour since I wanted to take my elderly parents to the Blue Mountains. Miyuki-san, a Japanese guide, took great care of us, and my parents were really happy! It was tough to find local tour info in Japanese, so it was nice to find a good guide.

    Ricardo was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, humorous, and approachable. The trip was amazing. It was fun feeding the kangaroos at Sydney Zoo and the train ride at Scenic World was thrilling, steeper than I thought. Well worth the trip.
