About this tour
A 10-hour private guided tour of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, tailored entirely to your group's pace. You'll explore World Heritage valleys and lookouts, spot native wildlife at a zoo or sanctuary, then choose between a scenic railway descent or river cruise back to the city. Your driver handles all navigation while you take in the mountain air, waterfalls, and village cafes of Katoomba and Leura. Three decades of running this route means your guide knows where the light hits best and which trails suit your group.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Sydney accommodation and driven into the cooler Blue Mountains. Your guide leads a walk through native forest, pointing out geological features and local history. At Echo Point, the valley opens up—the Three Sisters rock formation dominates the view across to the distant ridges. You'll visit either Sydney Zoo or Featherdale Wildlife Park to get close to koalas and kangaroos. Lunch and browsing time happens in the villages, where mountain air replaces city smog. On the return, you choose: ride the Scenic World railway down the steep cliffs or take a gentler river cruise back towards Sydney.
Good to know
Wear a jacket and enclosed shoes—mountain weather changes quickly. The guided walk is gentle but involves uneven ground. Food and drinks aren't included, though cafes dot both villages. Infants sit on a lap. The tour runs rain or shine, so pack layers. All vehicles are air-conditioned with seat belts.
