Ben, our guide, explained everything in great detail, interestingly and informatively, and in a way that was easy to understand, even for those whose English wasn't perfect – we learned a tremendous amount. 10 out of 10 :)★

Reviews: Sydney Blue Mountains Small Group Tour (Max 14 people): Includes three cable car options + Three Sisters Peaks + pick-up and drop-off service available in city center (postcode 2000 only) Sydney Blue Mountains National Park Tour
Guest User2026-01-13
This day trip to the Blue Mountains in Sydney was the most satisfying of all my day trips in Australia. The Mercedes minibus was new, with comfortable seats and ample legroom. Our driver/guide, Mr. Guo, was very responsible, explaining each part of the itinerary in detail and planning the time very well. It was a very hot day, and the bottled water on the bus was unlimited. Extremely satisfied!★

Reviews: Penguin Parade, & Wildlife Encounters Eco Tour from Melbourne
Guest User2026-03-02
This trip was brilliant and such a good combination of things to do in one trip. A great atmosphere with the group and the tour guide Lisa was amazing and so informative. She made me feel so comfortable with doing it as a solo trip and got to know everyone as best she could in the time. The sanctuary and penguin parade were a great experience and I would recommend to anyone. The view points were breathtaking and you got to see animals in their wild habitats. 10/10 experience.
