Probably the best day trip I have had in a long time. Extremely organized and we got to do so many things all in the span of 10 hours. Our tour guide Juan was the main attraction. We had an excellent experience with Juan as our tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the tour. Everything was well organized, and Juan made the experience enjoyable and memorable. We truly appreciated his hospitality, patience, and the interesting information he shared along the way. We highly recommend Juan to anyone visiting! Thank you, Juan, for a wonderful experience!

If you have a full day and want to see some really cool place, take this tour. Jaime our tour guide was so much fun and very available for questions and keeping track of our group. So glad we did this tour before heading back to the US.
Jack was a very good guide, the tour straight forward without any hang arounds. We have seen a lot in quite a short time.
Great tour of Blue Mountains, Scenic World, and Featherdale Wildlife Park, with great lookout spots in between. Our guide Jake was super informative and helpful the whole time. I only wish we had more time at Featherdale, maybe 2 hours instead of 1!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely AMAZING Blue Mountains Tour – Highly Recommend Rin! We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our Blue Mountains tour, and a huge part of that was our incredible tour guide, Rin! From beginning to end, Rin was wonderful! Knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had an unforgettable experience. Rin made the tour enjoyable, informative, and fun, while ensuring we got to take in the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Mountains. I also want to give a special shout-out to the company for their outstanding customer service. We accidentally booked the wrong date due to an error on our end, and they were gracious enough to accommodate us and change our booking. Their understanding and willingness to work with us meant so much and made an already wonderful experience even better. Between the stunning scenery, the memorable experience, and Rin’s exceptional hospitality, this tour exceeded our expectations! If you’re visiting Sydney and considering a trip to the Blue Mountains, do yourself a favor and book this tour. And if you’re lucky enough to have Rin as your guide, you’re in for an extra-special treat! Five stars aren’t enough! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rin was a fantastic guide. She put a lot of effort into it and led the tour with a great sense of humor. The viewpoints and the experiences at Scenic World were wonderful!
Best with Rin .she is best in story telling and experience.
What an amazing day! I wasn't sure what to expect beforehand, especially since I hadn't booked it myself, but it exceeded all expectations. The weather turned out perfect despite my initial concerns. Jake was a fantastic guide, keeping everyone entertained while travelling between locations and sharing a wealth of knowledge about each stop. The scenery was breathtaking, and seeing the wildlife was a real highlight. I would definitely book again and would love to do another tour with Jake.
This is an excellent tour, with just the right amount of time at each location. Our guide Steve was brilliant, very knowledgeable and really looked after us on each stage of the trip. The lunch was also excellent. I would highly recommend this trip.
Good trip with Jack and all schedule followed with Jack kept guiding everyone very awesomely well. Bus can be better as seats are cramped , Bus ac okay and music loud.
Beautiful tour to Blue Mountains and Scenic World with a delicious lunch followed by a visit to Sydney Zoo. Our tour guide, Kat, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the history of the region. She also educated us about the flora and fauna as well. Overall a five star tour
Kat, our guide, was fantastic!!! She was knowledgeable about so many things. Her presentation style was engaging, and she has a really fun sense of humor. All the stops were incredible. I highly recommend this tour.
Great day with Kat, our driver and guide. She was so knowledgeable and witty. She kept us informed and amused at all times. Highly recommend this tour because we saw so many sights that we never would have anticipated being in Sydney. Great day.
From pickup to drop off, Kat was amazing. Full of energy, knowledge and laughs. The tour is worth your money and time. Would recommend.
Kat is the best! So knowledgeable and a great sense of humor to help keep you going on a long tour day.
It was a fantastic day with Anderson Tours. The guide Jake was awesome. He explained every important detail and was very friendly and helpful. The tour also covered all experiences 3 sisters view, the cable car, skyway and the steep railway, rain forest walk, feathwrdale zoo, multiple view point stops amd ended with a ferry ride to sydney all in a day’s time.
Mark was so enthusiastic and shared so much information. Just a very touristy area which isn’t Anderson s fault
Jake gave us a good tour . Good guy with humour too
What a fantastic day and Mark our guide was fantastic - so knowledgable and personable. A great day and would highly recommend.
What an excellent time we had on our tour yesterday with Kat. She shared Australian history on our ride up to the mountains, stopped at great viewing spots and was great at answering questions. Featherdale was the highlight for me, wish we could have had more time there.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Blue Mountains tour! Everything was well organised, and the tour was a wonderful way to explore the breathtaking scenery and attractions of the Blue Mountains. What truly made the experience special was our tour guide, Jake. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely caring throughout the day. From the very beginning, he made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Despite meeting him for the first time, I never once felt like I was travelling with a stranger. It felt more like exploring the Blue Mountains with a good friend who genuinely wanted everyone to have the best possible experience. Jake went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable, ensuring everyone was comfortable, informed and having a great time. His positive attitude, enthusiasm and personal attention made an already beautiful experience even more memorable. As a first-time visitor to Australia, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the Blue Mountains. Highly recommended! If you're lucky enough to have Jake as your guide, you're in excellent hands. Thank you, Jake, for making this such a memorable experience!
Excellent day at the Blue Mountains. Our guide Mark from Andersons was so friendly & knowledgeable. A massive shout out to Viator for making everything so smooth. Definitely use again
It has been a Great experience, and Jaime is been a fantastic guide
Simply excellent! The tour was super well organized, taking us to many places at the exact right time to avoid crowds. Our guide Mark was awesome, incredibly knowledgeable and a great storyteller. He intertwined history with personal experiences and anecdotes that allowed us to see the places we visited through a locals perspective. He also made sure to get to know everyone in the group (there were 20 people!). Highly recommended!
Awesome guide Steve has to be the most intelligent and interesting guides I’ve ever experienced. He knew more history about Australia than I could ever hope to know. The experience was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone.
Simply amazing day. Saw and learned so much. Steve is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and welcoming
Wonderful tour of the Blue Mountains. Our guide/driver Jay was full of knowledge-very articulate and personable. We learned a great deal in addition to getting to admire the beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.
Great experience. Exceeded my expectations.
Great full day tour with multiple experiences. Knowledgable guide and excellent service. Highly recommend.
The guide/driver Mark was excellent. Informative, friendly and helpful. The itinerary was full of activities all day which was tiring but exhilarating. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent day so well planned. Mark was an amazing guide very knowledgeable & friendly. 100% recommend this trip
If this is your first time to Sydney you must do this tour! It was a perfect way to see the beautiful awesomeness of the blue mountains. Our tour guide Tony was very knowledgeable and informative
Awesome day. Guide was great - weather perfect. So much fit into one day. Even petted koalas and kangaroos.
Wow, what a brilliant tour and also such a brilliant guide in Kat! It was an early start to the day, but totally worth getting up for and would recommend to anyone who is staying in Sydney and has some time to explore outside the city. The whole experience was great value for money, with minibus pickup at our chosen location, admission to Scenic World, Sydney Zoo, cooked lunch and a ferry back to Circular Quay. A big shout out to Kat who was SUPER knowledgeable and kept us entertained over the course of the day. We loved hearing about all the birds/wildlife and flora/fauna 😍 we didn't know what to expect, but the views and various viewpoints were STUNNING!
Really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Joan went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. He showed us some hidden lookouts, recommended great places to eat and shop, and made sure we got to try the best rides at Scenic World. The highlight for me was definitely Featherdale Wildlife Park, especially the koala experience where you actually get to pat a koala! Also loved seeing all the amazing native birds. The whole trip was surprisingly relaxing despite how much we managed to see and do. No particular fitness level required, which is a nice bonus! Overall, a fantastic experience and a great way to explore the Blue Mountains. Highly recommend!
