Absolutely fantastic! - Our tour guide Brett exceeded all expectations. His knowledge, enthusiasm and passion made our day extra special. It was lovely to have the options open rather than be with other tourists which made the day very personal and much more fun. 100% recommend.

10/10. Book this now. - While planning our honeymoon to Sydney, Australia we knew that we absolutely had to see the Blue Mountains. After exhaustively searching for a tour excursion we chose Dave of Escape Scenes based on the numerous positive reviews from past travelers. This excursion almost immediately became one of the highlights of our honeymoon in no small part because of Dave’s expert, lived experience and knowledge. We opted for a full day private tour and we would encourage anyone else who is interested in seeing the Blue Mountains to do so as well. Dave was punctual, friendly, and welcoming. He possessed the unique skill of gently guiding our tour direction without overwhelming us or micromanaging. He is a guide in the truest sense of the word. We had an incredible, once in a lifetime experience full of magical vistas, enchanting waterfalls, and local color that we will be reminiscing about for years to come. Furthermore, his Mercedes van was pristine, stocked with beverages and made for a comfortable chariot that shepherded us from location to location. Dave even took the time to take us to several memorable local communities where we got to sample the fare and do some light shopping. In conclusion, do yourself a favor and book a tour of the Blue Mountains with Dave for your Australian adventure, it will exceed all expectations.

Blue Mountains Road Trip with Escape Scenes – A Truly Memorable Experience - We had an amazing trip with David from Escape Scenes, and it couldn’t have been better! He worked perfectly around our schedule and truly hit the mark on all the key highlights of the Blue Mountains.
We enjoyed multiple vantage points of the Three Sisters, each offering unique and breathtaking views. David also guided us to several stunning waterfalls and less-frequented scenic spots that most tourists miss. While you can’t expect to have the mountains entirely to yourself, David’s timing and route planning helped us avoid the worst of the bus crowds and made each stop feel relaxed and personal.
Lunch at a local pub in Katoomba was a great touch – classic fare washed down with a refreshing pint made for a perfect midday break.
David was not only knowledgeable and passionate about the area, but also humorous and engaging, which added a great vibe to the whole day. The transportation was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, making the journey as enjoyable as the destinations.
Highly recommend Escape Scenes and David if you're looking for a personal, well-paced, and unforgettable Blue Mountains experience!

The Best Personalized Tour - My husband & I have been to Australia several times but never made it out to the Blue Mountains. This visit we debated whether to rent a car or join a tour. Instead, we found the perfect solution - David with Escape Scenes offers a private tour. Rather than hassle with a busload of people vying for position at viewpoints & following a strict itinerary, we were able to share our preferences ahead of time so David could tailor the day to us. He did a fantastic job avoiding the crowds, even taking us to some spots not accessible by bus. Even though we could have accessed these places by rental car, we would not have known all the good spots to visit, we would've had to hassle with the parking (including fees at several stops), and, most importantly, we would not have a guide. A guide not only provides navigation but, more importantly, has the knowledge to make recommendations and share interesting history & facts about the area, flora, fauna & people. David does all of that with a desire to cater to your likes (or dislikes). He's very accommodating & will take photos for you along the way so you walk away with great memories & a pleasant experience!

Luxury Tour of Blue Mountains - Thanks so much to Dave for this excellent tour.
We did a day trip around the Blue Mountains and vicinity.
We were picked up from our hotel in central Sydney.
Dave is a highly experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. Was able to answer all our questions and is passionate about the nature and wildlife.
I liked the way that while on the tour Dave would show us round but would also give us time to explore on our own as a family. He was also great at getting the perfect family photos.
The tour was also completely flexible and we were able to adapt as we went on. The petting zoo was great suggestion.
Dave’s new car is immaculate. It really was a luxury way to travel.
Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks once again to Dave.
Rob, Milly and girls.
