An deal family outing in a private van. - We wanted to go to the Blue mountains with a private guide. so many companies to choose so we asked our hotel who suggested Blue ribbon. We struck it lucky to get the best guide, dave taylor. He is most accomplished at his guiding job and you can tell his experience, is there nothing he does not know about aussie politics, geography etc. he has been everywhere. Our day out was made so much better having him. The BLue mountains are incredible we did it all. Our best day in Australia.

Our tour of a lifetime. - Absolutely fantastic enjoyable tour with Dave. His knowledge, enthusiasm and chat was exceptional , an exemplary tour guide. He took us to vista points we could never have found ourselves. We saw the canyon from the top to the valley floor. In love with the koala bears at the wildlife park. Enjoyed every minute. An experience of a lifetime.

Absolutely the best tour. - We love visiting the Blue mountains and this was one of our many trips there. On this occasion we opted to stay overnight and Dave now knows what we like. There are so many different hikes and places to see, you can never be bored. Dave dropped us our overnight hotel and picked us up the next day to escort us on more hikes and visit other villages. We also went further out to ride the Lithgow steam train. July is cold so bring your jacket. Another magical experience with Dave, you are a champ. !

Worth every dollar. - Our Private tour with Darren was a most absorbing fun filled day of viewpoints, and nature. Loved Scenicworld and Featherdale animals. He coordinated everything to maximise our time, that was the beauty of doing the tour for just us and the guide. If we had the time would do it all again.

Our best day in Sydney. - A private tour with Dave to the mountains must be the first choice of things to do in Sydney. He is so experienced and knowledgeable. He adapted the day to suit the abilities and intetests of our group of friends. Loved his genuine friendliness. It’s a complete day of sights in the Blue mountains Dave is extremely patient with all our individual requests with some wanting walks and others wanting time in the village, nothing was too much trouble. The mountain Grand Canyon is a wonder of nature. Thank you SO much.

Exceptional privare tour. - There were so many Blue mountains tours to choose, based on all the nice reviews we chose Dave. He sure lived up to his reputation, the day was faultless and we saw so much. Really enjoyed the Boardwalk and understanding the flora and fauna. Also the Scenic world rides are so worth it to do , even at $60 per person, they are most unique. Of course the scenery, eventhough a bit cloudy was gorgeous. Safe driving, thank you sir.

Organised, easy and thoroughly enjoyable day in the mountains. - We have taken this tour before when visiting Sydney, enjoyed just as much this time with different weather the outlooks are most different in other conditions. They make a nice easy hotel pick up and returned us as well. We went a bit over time as we were enjoying the company of the guide so much. His information is clear with good knowledge of all the tourist sites.
