Summary:
This tour was fantastic. Scottie was our guide, he did a great job in scheduling and guiding us through the attractions. I would recommend. I really enjoyed the Blue Mountains. The zoo and ferry were a fun addition.

Summary:
Our guide Rob was very knowledgeable and personable. We started out very early, for the bonus of enjoying our first two activities and stops with no other groups around, which was excellent planning on Rob's part. The town we stopped in for our lunch break had a lot of good options for food. The Scenic World Dinosaur walk was fun, as was our trip to the Taronga Zoo. The tour ended with a scenic ferry ride back to Sydney. The whole day was enjoyable and would be a lot of fun for families.

Summary:
Great highlights in the blue mountains and the Sydney Zoo concluding with a cruise on the Parramatta River into Sydney Harbor. Also, our tour guide, Rodrigo, made the bus travel time interesting telling his personal stories, Australia history and perspective of current Australian events. Our 10 hours on the tour felt like 5 minutes. This was a perfect day to see a lot in a relaxed manner.
