Watch the weather forecasts - Very enthusiastic tour guide who knew a lot to tell. The koalas and kangoroes were cute. Leura was a nice place. Too bad about the low-hanging clouds that prevented us from seeing the three sisters

Excellent tour with a great guide - The blue mountains views were amazing. The featherdale zoo was also very interesting and has all the iconic Australia animals. Our guide Scott was very knowledgeable and talked about culture, history, and geography. He made sure we got enough time at each spot and that we kept to the schedule. overall a very fun day and well worth the money.

Great Tour! - We had a great day tour to the Blue Mountains and Wildlife Park with Scotty! He took us to beautiful lookouts to see several different perspectives of the mountains. He was also incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so many things about the area and Australia in general along the drive. It was also very cool to be able to feed kangaroos at the wildlife park!

Small group with the... - Small group with the right size. Jason our driver cum tour guide is very informative. He was also our photographer, knowing where the best spot and angle is to capture the best shot. From time to time, he would crack jokes to keep us awake. Along the way, he shared us the features to look out and the history/culture of Blue Mountain and its surrounding neighborhoods. Wish we had more time at Blue Mountain and especially Featherdale Wildlife park which we could only touch and go. All the animals are so adorable.

Good tour but the guide talked non-stop, TMI! - The tour itself was good, featherdale was amazing and we stopped at three lovely places. However, we didn't have nearly enough time at any stop. It would've been better to cut one out or shorten lunch and have more time at each place.
But I won't have good memories of this trip because of the Sunday guide. He spoke non-stop for the entire 8ish hour trip. I don't think he paused for more than a minute. Half of this was knowledge and informative about the locations, history, plants and animals and aboriginal traditions. However the other half was aggravating! Family life in great details, insulting the British or Queensland, screenplays he's writing. He embodied the term TMI. Even when in the rainforest he kept talking loudly so we couldn't appreciate the beauty. Ughhh.
