Doing what: Small-Group Blue Mountains Day Trip from Sydney with River Cruise
This was an excellent tour! Our tour guide, Mark, really took time to make sure everyone got as much out of the day as possible. Featherdale was the best of the zoos we visited in Sydney, and the Blue Mountains were stunning. This really was the best day of our trip. We would definitely recommend it!

The blue mountains are amazing. The tour takes you around the main sights and includes an informative aboriginal cultural experience. The visit to featherdale allows a good interaction with the animals.

Doing what: 2-Day Combo: Sydney City Tour, Sydney Harbour Lunch Cruise and Blue Mountains Day Trip
Really great tour with helpful friendly driver. Hotel pick up on time and well organised. Although it poured down for two days of our trip even that didn't spoil the tours. The second day, as the driver thought, at Featherdale Wildlife Park perked up and the sun came out. Perfect for feeding the wallabies, kangaroos and the cheeky emus !! Would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting Sydney.
