Absolutely stunning day trip! Our guide James was knowledgeable and entertaining. The Three Sisters and Scenic World were highlights, but I also loved the wildlife park where I got to pet a kangaroo. Highly recommend!

Great day out from Sydney. The Blue Mountains are breathtaking and our guide made sure we saw all the highlights. The lunch provided was delicious too. Only wish we had a bit more time at some stops.

Perfect day trip! The scenery was incredible and our guide was very informative about the aboriginal history and geology of the area. The Scenic Railway was thrilling and the wildlife park was a bonus. Worth every penny!
