One for the books! - Kunal was incredible. We had an amazing day filled with Aussie-Kiwi banter and we were still entertained when he was going over shared history between our countries for the non-locals. We were always on time to each attraction, and never felt rushed - we even managed to squeeze in an extra lookout. Despite the unseasonaly cold wind, Kunal kept us comfortable. We didn't have to worry about anything on this tour, all our tickets to attractions and transport was provided to us. The only downside was that maybe a different restaurant for lunch would have been nice, our chicken tasted very strongly of fish, but this obviously isn't the fault of the tour. We especially enjoyed how the tour allowed us to access discounts at certain places. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this to anyone, what a day!

Great trip, but went to Sydney Zoo instead of Featherdale - Everything went smoothly and on time from pickup to drop off. Mark provided great information on the sites, history, animals, and suggestions for things to do.
The pacing was very good for our group of 20. Lunch was also good. My only disappointment was that I had booked this hoping we’d go to Featherdale instead of the Sydney Zoo based on a suggestion from Gemini. However, the zoo was still great and we got to see all the animals up close.
Andersons does cost a bit more than the competitors, but I don’t know if the premium is worth it. Regardless, this was an excellent trip and I have no reservations recommending it.

Fantastic tour - We are avid travelers working on our bucket list. This was an excellent, diverse (albeit a long day) tour. Solid 5 stars. If the guide/driver ((Kat)) could get a separate rating she would get a 12 out of 10. She filled the entire day with history, ecology, cultural, botanical and zoological information. She did it while regularly injecting humor and personal anecdotes. I can’t imagine anyone completing this tour with Kat and not being totally pleased.

Great Tour of Blue Mountains Plus Plus Plus - This tour had an outstanding itinerary. Our tour guide Kat was knowledgeable, funny, accessible and really made our experience feel special. She checked in with our group throughout to make sure everyone's needs were accommodated. In a funny and engaging way, she discovered our group's interests and built in stops and experiences along the way (such as exploring the fauna along the way and a drive through tour of the Olympic Park). Kat was clearly experienced and knew her 'stuff'; we really never waited in lines. We felt like we met a true Aussie and left a friend behind. This tour was well worth the price given all the entry fees and lunch the price included. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes; bring a water bottle (you will have plenty of opportunities to fill up) a hat and sunscreen.

Blue Mountains Tour - The Blue Mountains Tour and Wildlife Park were most enjoyable. Anderson Tours provided an excellent tour guide who was very passionate about his connection with history, geography and people. Highly recommend the full-day tour.

Excursion should be made - Here we have the day tour from Sydney to the Blue Mountains with stops at the Three Sisters and Scenic World, views of nature in the mountains and a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park with koalas and kangaroos before taking the ferry back to Circular Quay via the Parramatta River. The tour should be done. We can say to the organizer that all promises were kept. The only thing that bothered was that the guide did not notice that not all participants are "English native speakers", sometimes he was very difficult to understand. The ferry at the end, however, you can forget that up to near Circular Quay is not really a nice route.

We booked the Blue... - We booked the Blue Mountains Scenic World tour through Viator, with Anderson Tours as the tour operator.
We were picked up at 7:05 a.m. near The Rocks, and the first stop was Scenic World. Scenic World is similar to a theme park and offers multiple rides that provide excellent views of the rainforest and surrounding landscapes, along with short rainforest walks.
After Scenic World, we drove to Echo Point Lookout, followed by a visit to Boars Head Lookout.
Lunch was provided and included vegetarian and vegan options, such as pasta, which were satisfactory and well organised. Post lunch, the tour continued to Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park, where we were able to see koalas and other native Australian animals up close.
By 4:00 p.m., the bus dropped us at the ferry point, and we enjoyed a relaxing ferry ride back to Circular Quay, arriving around 5:20 p.m.
Overall, this was an interesting and well-balanced tour, offering a good mix of scenic rides, rainforest walks, wildlife viewing, and a ferry experience. Our guide, Rin, did an excellent job of keeping the group engaged throughout the trip, adding to the overall enjoyment.
