The tour was very well organized and we were able to visit a few different areas including Scenic World and the Featherdale Wildlife Reserve. Ian, our tour guide was a fantastic guide with a cornucopia of endless knowledge. He made us feel welcomed to Australia and we truly enjoyed his tour. Due to the 85 fires burning in New South Wales we were unable to get the full affect of the adventure but that was out of the control of the tour and Ian still gave us lemonade out of the lemons presented. Great job Anderson Tours!”

Wow, what can I say. Anderson's tours were amasing. They organized a special tour with revised literary due to bush fires. Adam our guide was a local with amasing local knowledge and a deep understanding of the ecology of the bush and mountains. Very personalised day. Highly recommended.”

We took the Blue Mountains Small Group Day Trip from Sydney and had an amazing time! What started out as a cloudy, overcast and damp morning, turned into a bright, clear and sunny day by the time we got to the Blue Mountains. The views were awesome and we took the cable car, train (really a steep funicular) and tram across the valley and down into the rain forest. We had plenty of time for pictures too. Plus, we had a sit-down lunch served to us in a very nice hotel dining room, visited the Featherdale Wildlife Park and had a really nice, pleasant cruise back to Sydney harbor. This is a must-do trip if you can fit ii into your schedule! And our guide was simply top notch! Highly recommend this excursion!!”

I cannot say enough about this tour. It was the highlight of our stay in the Sydney area. An all day excursion which included many sights and destinations. And the lunch provided was exceptional. I have taken many tours over the years and this one was right up at the top!”

Part of what made the trip do good was our awesome bus driver Bob. He was so caring and knowledgeable. We felt very lucky to have Bob as our driver and guide. Thanks Bob!!”

I just got this tour online and my group was amazed that Anderson’s tours were really worth every cent we paid for. Our tour guide , Sarah, was like a mother hen, always counting her chicks. She saw to it that we were safe, comfortable and enjoying the views. The Scenic World was awesome! All the look out points were very good. Even the stop at Leura Village for lunch was a treat. Awesome Sarah ! Good job Anderson tours!”

This is a fantastic tour! I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a lot and only has one day in the area. Kat was very knowledgeable and fun!”

“

The tour was well organised and great value for money! Everyone on the bus seemed to enjoy themselves. Our tour guide Mark was pleasant and helpful but spoke non stop from Sydney to the Blue mountains. A lot of it was on his personal life and there was a lot of unnecessary waffle in his commentary. Needs to improve on this. It became very tedious.”

Adam was informative and answered all questions and was also helpful in taking pictures at the best stops. He even drove us by cute homes with the prettiest flowers in full spring bloom and took pictures for us.”

This was a fantastic tour. So many things to see and our tour guide, Kunal, was super knowledgeable about the history and a great guide. I liked all the different types of transportation we were able to take - train ride, ferry ride, cable car... A definite must when visiting Sydney.”

Thanks to our tour guide, Mark, we were informed about some natural and cultural history of the region. We enjoyed lunch at an historic hotel, and the small size of the group made it easy to move from one sight to another in a timely fashion. It was a lovely day, well worth the price.”

This was a small group tour (21 pax on our bus). We visited many look-out locations with breath taking views of the Blue Mountains. Scotty was able to get us to most of the sites ahead of the big buses and thus ahead of the crowds. There was so much to see in the time we had available; we could have easily spread this tour into two separate days. We had lunch at the Hotel Grand View; very nice spread, six lunch options, something for everyone. After lunch, we headed to Featherdale Wildlife Park. We spent an hour and a half at Featherdale and then headed to the river to catch our boat back to the city. Very pleasant boat ride down the river and through parts of Sydney Harbor. Our tour ended at Circular Quay. If you only have one day available, this tour will give you a good sampling of the Blue Mountains. If you have more time, do the Blue Mountains one day and Featherdale a second day. It was a very enjoyable day and we would like to thank Scotty for going out of his way to make our day special.”

The tour would have been good but ADAM made it outstanding. He is so knowledgeable about geography, animals, plants, eco systems etc. He made the day SO much better than it would have been without his input. We passed another bus where the driver was just parked up waiting on tourists to get back on. Adam went around with us and imparted so much information and did so energy and enthusiasm; an absolutely brilliant guide! Many thanks from Gael and Jim”

We had a fantastic time touring the Blue Mountains with Adam. We saw quite a bit and traveling in a smaller tour made the experience more fun and easier to get around in my opinion. Adam kept things fun and interesting while making sure we kept on time. The Blue Mountains and the surround towns are lovely. Lunch was great. I should have eaten quicker to spend more time in town. The zoo gave us a chance to see animals we don't normally see in the US. Even the ferry back in Sydney harbor was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Adams family.”
