Beautiful views - Such a great day trip to get out of the city! The stops were long enough to allow us to explore without feeling like we had too much time just waiting around. Jack was our guide and he was very knowledgeable as well as gave clear instructions on where to find the bus and when to return. Hotel pick-up in the morning was convenient and we enjoyed taking the ferry back into the city at the end of the day. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing time - The views were amazing and Jack was an excellent tour guide. Full of information and learning. We came from Ireland and had an excellent time feeding the koalas and seeing all of the animals. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Well organised and well paced experience to the Blue Mountains - Our guide Fiona delivered an excellent semi-guided experience to the Blue Mountains. She provided insights, history and stories when relevant, while also giving us space to soak up the experiences. Each stop had sufficient time to explore independently without rushing us.

Irene is the BEST!!! - This tour was amazing but it could have been a disaster. The clouds came down early and blocked the views but thankfully our tour guide, Irene, knew they would clear before the end of the day.
Irene made the tour informative, fun and worth it all. The sights obviously were impressive (Instagram worthy) but if we couldn't have seen a thing the tour would still have been a good time thanks to Irene.
Highly Recommended!!! -AM

Great day out - Lovely day to the Blue mountains. Feeding the kangaroos at the start of the day at the zoo was a fun experience. We had lunch at The Red Door cafe in Leura, which was a great find, delicious soup. The stop to see the view of the 3 sisters was cloudy, but by the time we got round to Scenic world the clouds had lifted to reveal a lovely view.
Irene our driver was informative and delivered all informative in an enthusiastic and friendly manner

Staff Is The Greatest - While I earlier rated the tour sub-par, SSTA staff was excellent in finding and returning my lost cell phone. I am still disappointed with the content of the tour, but can't fault the operator. They went well beyond the call of duty helping me recover my phone. I won't hesitate to book with them again but will be more careful where I go. Thank you Sight Seeing Tours Australia.

Blue Mountains trip - Really good trip, with lots of different parts to the trip. Relaxed, helpful driver/guide. Long day but worth it for amazing views across the Jamie's on valley and 3 sisters

A rainy day in the mountains. - Unfortunately the day was very wet and no views of note. The guide did his very best to keep morale up but everyone was rather bedraggled by the end. A few comments for organisation. Bus was comfortable. The lunch stop was a bit rushed. What would help, given the team cannot legislate for the weather, would have been to send out an email re wet weather clothing the day before. None of us were well prepared sadly, particularly re footwear. Still enjoyed the waterfall.

Disreputable Tour Operator - Do not use this tour company. The driver was a no show. A call to the number to see what was going on was answered then dropped. Follow up calls got a voicemail saying it was outside of business hours only then to least the business hours during which time we were calling. They suggested reaching out via email and social media but also no response. After waiting for an hour we gave up.
DO NOT USE. Disreputable company
