The tour is good. The tour guide is kind. He explained everything clearly. However I think if you compare the price with the tour , it is expensive

Featherdale and Blue Mountains - a highlight of our trip to Sydney

Jane_S, Feb 2023

Keegan was a fantastic guide who understood our interests and made sure every stop was meaningful to us. Featherdale is an amazing Wildlife Park with many, many opportunities to see and interact up close. Feeding the kangaroos, petting the wombat (Olive) and interacting with the koala were highlights. The Blue Mountains are awe inspiring in their size and beauty. The highlight was the viewpoint of the Three Sisters that was separate from the tourist viewpoint but known by our guide. Much better views and very private.

Book This Tour!

Henry_F, Jan 2023

We traveled around Australia and New Zealand for five weeks. The day on this tour was one if the best experiences we had during that time. Our guide was warm, professional, and knowledgeable. She customized our day based on our evolving feedback. Do yourself a favor and spend some time at Scenic World. It's spectacularly beautiful. Can't think of a better way to see the Blue Mountains than on this tour.

Great views of the Blue Mountains

Deborah_B, Jan 2023

Bianca was very nice. Met us as we came off the cruise ship just as communicated. She stowed our luggage and off we went. She provided good information about Sydney and the different areas. We got to see a bit about everyday life in the city. Our first stop at the wildlife center was good. The koalas were easy to see in their enclosures. The wallabies were out close by. Kangaroos were a bit disappointing. Then on to the Blue Mountains. Great vistas - flys are bad so take a fly net fir your face. It is hot out there. Bianca had water and did all she could to minimize the walking in the sun. All in all a great adventure. Highly recommend

Wildlife park was excellent. Worth seeing the unique animals and learning about them. Blue mountain was interesting but not spectacular

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Bruce Thank you for writing a review about your private Blue Mountains tour. We're glad the wildlife park was a highlight for you on this tour. I'm sure the Blue Mountains are not as spectacular as Mont Blanc or the Grand Canyon, but we love them anyway! Happy travels. Steve Arnerich Owner, Runaway Tours Sydney, Australia
