A wonderful exposure to so many features of Australia with an experienced Aussie. - Dave is native Sydney man with 35 years of tour experience. He has great knowledge of Blue Mountains area. Dave did a great job of navigating Scenic World to avoid long lines. We saw a lot! A great day.

Great day touring the gorgeous Blue Mountains! - Had a great day with Dave. The Blue Mountains were gorgeous and we got to see and do so much. Loved that we could go at our own pace and stay longer where we wanted (i.e. we love animals so we lingered longer at Ferndale). Dave is also a great source of information about Australia in general and everything we saw.

Very impressed - We were a family of 5 with my Mum and 2 girls aged 10 and 12y. We are not ones for tours but only take private ones so we can please ourselves. With guidance by Dave a perfect day in the Blue mountains was enjoyed by all. We saw all the views, a little shopping and a nice lunch at Yellow Del which Dave suggested - so good. The mountain range should not be missed if you are in Sydney - the scenery, fresh air and to be in nature was inspiring. We did the cruise back to the city which made a nice end to a wonderful day for our family.

A great experience, stunning views and lots of good information. - The private tour to the mountains for our family was really great. Our guide Dave was extremely nice and helped us appreciate the beauty of this area. It was all so well planned. Next time in Sydney we would like to do it all again.

Great guide to a great place. - The Blue mountains is great and amazing and guide Dave brings it all to life with good commentary throughout the drive. He also was so courteous and told us all we needed to know. It was most valuable having him navigate us through the crowds of new year holiday makers, he knew all the shortcuts and took us to some lovely remote overlooks. There's no way we could have done any of this by ourselves. We give it a top recommendation.

Brilliant private tour. - Visiting for the New year and had a spare day for the Blue mountains. Last time we did a bus tour so thought spend a little more and take a private trip. Our hotel again recommended Blue Ribbon and we had Darren to guide us. Such a gentleman and showed us so much, with a few hikes and nice picnic lunch. Another top day to end our year.

Gorgeous Blue mountains. - It's only 2 hours flying for us to Sydney, so for 3 days we went to Sydney , mainly to stay in the mountains. Darren took us on a private tour of areas we didn't see last time then he dropped us at the Hydro hotel ,old and beautiful. We did some hikes ourselves and the next day Darren explained how we can take the train back to Sydney. Was a nice option having him takes us there and come back by train. More great service by the Blue Ribbon company.

A perfect family day out from Sydney. - Our first day in Sydney the weather was so good we went to the Blue mountains on a private tour with Dave Taylor as our expert driver and guide. We got the most out of a very beautiful excursion, Dave knows all the right places to take you away from the crowds yet seeing such beaut scenery. A must do was to ride the little train and gondolas, we even avoided all the queue lines there. Loved Featherdale park to see lots of koalas and kangaroos.We opted to be dropped back to our Hyatt day, it was all magic.

Incredible private tour by Dave - exceeded what we expected. - From the moment Dave fetched us from our Hyatt hotel we knew the day was to be good. He detailed the day to us and then we were offered any preferences we had. Along the way we made a few scenic stops and a craft store for my wife. The Grand Canyon is immense and so green, it was brilliant, along with Dave's explanations of geography, animals, birds etc...is there nothing he doesn't know ? The wildlife zoo to pat a kangaroo and to see so many koalas finished a wonderful day. It's sure much better having an local to guide you, he was brilliant and thanks a million.
