Enjoyable Day Trip - We only had two days in Sydney and wanted to get the most of visiting the area. While the longer day tour was booked, this was a good alternative. The tour guide and driver, Chris, was very informative. I did not feel rushed at any of the places we visited. The visit to Blue Mountains was amazing. Note that you do need to pay for the entry to Scenic World Adventures which is well worth it. I would have liked to have spent more time in Laure which had small shops, but we only stopped there for lunch. The return into Sydney was also good as we took a ferry back and got to enjoy the great views. We happened to be there during the Bastille celebration in The Rocks. There was lots to eat and entertain at this festival. They were also celebrating Christmas in July, which was fun to see since I am from the US.

I'm leaving 5 stars... - I'm leaving 5 stars mainly for the guide who was very good. The amount of time at each activity was good, and felt like a good 1 day trip from Sidney. Blue Mountain is amazing, beautiful sights but the zoo, unless this is your only chance in Australia to view these animals, I would say skip. A lot of animals were not in their enclosures, or still asleep when we got there, and some animals could have benefited from more space.

Blue Mountains fab tour. - Fab tour of the Blue Mountains and Sydney Zoo. Guide was great. Scenic World optional extra. We didn't do that but did a self guided bush walk instead which took us to all the look outs. Would recommend.

Wonderful day in the Blue Mountains - We waited about an hour to be picked up (along with others), as we were not informed that the pickup time at our pickup location was an hour later than posted. Once the tour began everything was great. Our tour guide was engaging and pointed out interesting sights along the way. The trip to the Sydney Zoo was ok...we saw kangaroos and koalas, a Tasmanian devil and an emu. The highlight of the trip was the Blue Mountains...absolutely gorgeous scenery. We opted to do the bush walk after lunch rather than take the gondola ride at Scenic World. The weather was perfect and the lookout point views were amazing. So glad we did this tour!

Scenic views fabulous - The scenic views was amazing. I went for the bus walk rather going on the scenic rides, totally worth it! The tour guide was great and was honest when giving us tips on how to make the most of the day.

Hope to be better - The pickup time on the final ticket clearly write 7 am, but my confirmation query and the actual pickup time was 8 am. We got up very early and waited more than 1 hour for the pickup. I guess this kind of mistake is caused by business to business miscommunication. Blue Mountain usually is very popular but caused big traffic. Our tour started at 8 am and went to Sydney Zoo at first to spent more than 1 hour. Than we had to pay the traffic cost and reduced the Blue Mountain visiting time. I suggest if the operator company like many other competitor companies started from 7 am and visited Sydney Zoo in return time, we could add 2-3 hours to visit the big Blue Mountain National Park’s one more location, e.g., the botanical garden or the beautiful lake. Possible?
