Les was incredible!

We booked this tour on a whim. I’d been to see some of the sites before and wanted my wife to see it too. Our tour guide Les made this experience infinitely cooler than my other times. Narrating the entire trip with interesting history and random facts about the area and early settlers.. and with a constant flow of comedy gold that had everyone in stitches. He’s a great story teller and absolutely made the trip for us! The tour massively exceeded our expectations and it was awesome from start to finish!

Excellent Tour Guide!!!

Les is a fantastic tour guide! Very patient, passionate, and strong sense of humour. He is knowledgeable and explains the nature and ecosystem with his iPad, which is very innovative and easy to understand. This trip is suitable for kids and elderlies. Not too much hiking, it's pretty flexible with different options and arrangements. I have never gotten bored during this day trip. With this kind of arrangement and service, this is a very reasonable price and worth paying for that! End with a cruise trip to Circular Quay is perfect. I highly recommend this trip to those who are traveling with kids, elderlies, friends or solo.

Nice

It was a fun day. Paul, the guide, was knowledgeable. He was funny and told us a lot of stories and information. He even brought an iPad to show us different animals. The new Sydney zoo was great. I was amazed by the reptiles and amphibians that it had.

Perfect Day Out

What a fantastic day out! Don’t hesitate to book this tour. First off, I would like to say a massive thank you to our tour guide - Les. You made the tour even more special and provided us with such an amazing day and some great memories. From the very beginning Les was fantastic, he wanted to make sure the day was special and we got to see as much as possible, he tailored the day with the best itinerary based on the busy peak period. We had little stop off’s along the way to look at some amazing views. We learnt so much and his sense of humour was the icing on the cake. We truly got the best of the best Now the tour itself, the blue mountains are gorgeous, some really stunning views from every point. Don’t miss out on the cable cars in scenic world, it’s such a fantastic experience getting to see the scenery from different perspectives. You also get to visit Sydney Zoo with this tour. You don’t have to go in there’s a designated area if you don’t wish to pay to go in, but it’s worth every penny, and it’s at a discounted price with the tour. Because of the tour you get to go in before opening so you get the zoo to yourself for a little while before the general public come in. We went to Taronga Zoo a few days before and Sydney Zoo was so much better, you can see more and it’s set out perfectly. The river cruise on the way back is also a nice relaxing way to head back into the city with again some beautiful scenes. I whole heartedly recommend this trip, you will not be disappointed. P.S thank you Les for the recommendation of Mjølner, we went the next day and was unreal food was beautiful.
