Nice tour

It’s a perfect tour for me, cause I would like to visit blue mountain, but almost all the other blue mountain tour included the wildlife park, I love to see wild life in the wild, but I don’t like to see them in zoo or park, I believe they belongs to the wild! So this one skip the wildlife park, visited the blue mountain, saw nice sunset , and we spotted Kangaroo 🦘 in the wild . Thanks to our super tour guide ( sorry I heard your name is Rich but my friend heard your name Mich )

No sunset but still great!

Mitch did an EXCELLENT job and really went through a lot of effort to ensure that the trip was still great even though it was raining and there was a thick layer of fog all day. I learned a lot about Australia and had some very fun and unique experiences that certainly made up for there being no sun or sunset. You can definitely tell that Mitch was made for this role as his passion for the Blue Mountains is palpable and contagious!

Awesome Experience

Really great tour. We hit a bunch of cool spots and the guide created a inclusive environment. The day is well timed and not rushed at any point but we still saw a lot.

Cool place but not with rain

I think the tour is well organized and everything, but it should be cancelled if there is too much rain. Because then it’s pointless to be the whole day in a bus to see nothing. But Glenn was a very good guide and told many interesting facts and kept morale high.

Hi Andrea, thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that the weather was not on your side on the day. Unfortunately, we can not control the weather and if we'd cancel tours based on the weather forecast, we would have more unhappy than happy customers. We wish you enjoyable travels and lots of sunshine on your way!
