A trip across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge takes us straight on the tollways to avoid the traffic.

Cahill's Lookout

Pulpit Rock Lookout

Great tour, organisation and excellent guide Katja. Explanation about everything we saw was great. Great driver and positive personality.

Michael_L

This could have been an excellent tour. But the guide picked up the wrong people at my hotel leaving us standing there for a while until I called the tour operator. They eventually came back and picked us up but this put the tour behind schedule. Adding to the time issue was the Good Friday traffic. We were not able to do all we wanted to do on the tour and we got back ~3 hours late eliminating other plans we had for late afternoon / evening.

Blue Mountains is amazing. Katya, our driver/tour guide was great, so knowledgeable about the area and very nice. Best burger I had in Australia for our lunch break. Great experience.

Corinne_L

Yella was terific, he picked made sure everyone was happy with the tour and paced everyone when hiking Blue Mountains. Yella gave us the option to separate from the group and hike a different trail that was more difficult for most on the group. We saw quite a bit of waterfalls and had a great day hiking the harder trail. We also saw penguins, koalas and and kangaroos at Featherdale. We were able to pet the Joeys!! Definitely a must do for those who enjoy hiking!!

Don_P

The Guide was great. She loved her job and made everyone feel comfortable. She made sure that everyone could handle the sometimes steep uphill climbs so that we all got to see the best sights. The scenery was awesom even though there were showers throughout the day and some low fog.

Richard_M

Great tour of the Blue Mountains. Small group tours are the best. Guide was both knowledgeable and personable. Would have liked to have spent more time in one of the villages in the area to see the different shops.

Fantastic tour. Small group with excellent guide. Very articulate knowledgeable guide. Took us to uncrowded tourist spots. Magnificent views and wildlife experience.

On the morning of my tour, Sydney was experiencing torrential rains. Despite hopes that the rain/fog/mist would eventually lift, unfortunately that was not to be - in spite of this, Jelle did his best to ensure people felt like they got their money's worth from the day. Understanding that he was offering a tour that advertises hikes, Jelle came up with a plan to allow anyone who wanted to do a hike the opportunity to do so. Fortunately, myself and one other person on the tour that day were up for the adventure and we were dropped off with instructions at the start of a trail - he thought it would take us about 90 minutes, and sure enough myself and the other hiker got to the end of the trail, where the rest of the group was waiting, in about 100 minutes (we stopped a few times along the route to take in what we were able to see through the fog). While that ended up our only hike of the day (though an offer for a second hike was on the table if we wanted to do it), I appreciated that the weather, plus a tour group featuring a number of people who may not have been up for hiking even in ideal weather (it's an open question whether a few of them even glanced at the tour description), were largely to blame. I've got no regrets about taking this excursion (no one can control the weather, and it made for a "fun" story!) and have no doubt that with better weather, this would be extremely enjoyable. You do stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park which seems to be a popular spot for many tours given its location en route to the Blue Mountains, but after that we were in spots away from the bigger tour buses, which is something to appreciate for sure. Absolutely would recommend this excursion to others, BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE OPEN TO THE IDEA OF HIKING! If you just want to leisurely see the sights, book something that will just drive you around all day so you can look at things. For those that want to get out and experience this part of the world you likely wouldn't otherwise experience, it's a great choice.

We had an amazing day with Katja as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and curtailed our tour as requested. The day started out foggy so Katja had to quickly adjust our route thankfully the skies cleared up as the day went on so we were able to view all!! I highly recommend this tour and Katja!!
