Had a lovely day out with Rob and his 4 day old Mercedes minibus! Those who have written bad reviews clearly didn't read the itinerary in the first place (where does it promise hiking??) and I wonder what landscape those people who didn't think they got to the Blue Mountains until 2 pm were driving through? Rob was an entertaining... More

The bus trip through the Sydney suburbs and countryside is moderately interesting as with any road trip outside a city but forgettable. The destination is a low range of hills. A charming vacation town with outdoor cafe was nice. The destination is an outlook over a valey created by millions of years of running water now has some rock formations... More

First of all, if you expect a full day of hiking in the bush, this isn't what you are looking for. This is a tourist- and family-friendly overview of the Blue Mountains area, with a side trip to check out some Australian fauna in a local animal park. Rob, the host, was quite entertaining and knew the history well as... More

When booking a trip to the Blue Mountains we expected to spend much longer then 1.5 hours there. Although the wild life park and the orchard stop are nice touches by the time you have visited these and had lunch at a very run down, pretty grotty hotel you don't actually get to the Blue Mountains until 2pm! We were... More

We took the tour on 1st April. The bus was spacious, the drive was easy, the food was good (We Indians are normally fussy eaters) and Rob was outstanding. He kept us ahead of other groups, shared his knowledge, allowed us to spend enough time wherever we wanted to and still got us on the ferry just in time. Ideal... More

We had originally booked this tour for a Wednesday and then made a last minute change to Tuesday. When we contacted Rob about making the change he was more than happy to help. The tour itself was great fun and Rob gave us lots of information along the way. He took us to a few places which were off track... More

We joined this tour during February and after traveling in Australia for 6 weeks, this is so far my most favorite tour. We chose this company because my mom was coming as well, my sister and I simply did not want to have any mistakes, so we chose the one with good reviews. My mom could not speak English, but... More

We booked this tour whilst on holiday in Sydney in August 2012. Rob picked us up bright & early from our Syndey accommodation & we were delighted to find we had him all to ourselves! We stopped off at the wildlife park first & enjoyed up close & personal interaction with the animals. We then headed up to the Blue... More

Having arrived in Sydney, I was checking out thing to do in 2 days and wanted to do Blue Mountain tour. I saw a lot of good reviews for Rob's tour and called to see if I can go the next day (it was a long shot, I know). Unfortunately Rob was all booked up. I had a couple of... More

It was summer but coming from a Tropical country myself, the heat was normal and infact good as there is no humidity and only cool breeze. The view of the 3 sisters was good from the mountain top.
