Chris did a good job catering to mom and 3 adult children with different athletic abilities. We feel we saw more with less hassle than if we had visited the Blue Mountains independently Hotel pick up and drop was nice. We were fortunate to very good weather

Chris picked us up from the Cruise port and after dropping our bags at the hotel we headed directly for the Blue Mountains. We enjoyed his deep knowledge of the area and engaging conversation. After a couple of days at sea, we really wanted to hike, and he was more than willing to oblige! Had a fantastic day hiking/walking in the Blue Mountains . Chris was flexible and crafted the day to avoid the crowds and really give us a lovely day. He also picked the hikes/walks to suit our abilities and allow us to enjoy the day to the fullest. At the end of the day I can say we were tired and very satisfied. Absolutely perfect day!!

Wonderful tour and guide! We really enjoyed this tour and the visits to different viewing points and charming villages. The guide James even introduced us to Tim Tams and got us a package to take away and eat later. He was fun and knowledgeable and offered us many tips not pertaining to our tour, but our trip and that was much appreciated. Definitely a tour that I would recommend. Thanks James!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to the Blue Mountains and felt like we maximized the opportunity with a hike in the Grand Canyon, lunch in Leura and short stops at the other key areas along the way. The service was exceptional throughout the entire process and our guide, James, shared information about the park as well as Sydney and the surrounding area, which was unexpected and extremely helpful for us.

What an amazing day trip to the Blue Mountains from Sydney. From the minute Greg picked us up at our hotel, I knew we were going to have a great time. Greg was outgoing, fun, and full of information and cool stories and myths. We visited a few mountain towns, had a nice 1-2 hour hike and hit some amazing viewpoints, all of which were brilliantly away from the big tour buses. I would definitely recommend the tour and Cloud 9 to family and friend. I wish we would have booked the Hunter Valley trip as well for the next day too.

No real favourite as the whole day was wonderful. 1st stop Glenbrooke a very small town with a great atmosphere for coffee. Doing this trip with Greg, he took us to places you would otherwise overlook. Gregs knowledge of the history of the area plus first Nation people was great. We came back with a better understanding.
No hesitation in recommending is tour.
Thank you, you helped enjoy another side to Sydney

We booked a private tour to the Blue Mountains from Sydney.
We wanted a private tour because we wished to tailor the tour to our needs.
Our family consists of two adults and two teenage boys, both of who are really into photography, bush walking and nature.
We booked the tour through James at Cloud 9 Tours, his communication was brilliant and he helped plan our trip to the Blue Mountains ahead of time which meant we were all organised and our guide had a good idea of what we wanted to see and do.
Our guides name was Greg he was fantastic so knowledgable, fun and made our day a special one to remember.
We all had the best day and we feel that he really showed us all the best parts of the Blue Mountains, we especially enjoyed the walk the falls it was so beautiful.
We were really happy with our options for lunch and loved the Old bank pub for lunch in Katoomba.
Scenic world was great and timed well, so that we missed the majority of the crowds.
We really had a brilliant day and we all got to take lots of beautiful photos.
We would definitely use Cloud 9 Tours again.

We did two private, full day tours with James - Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains during our time in Sydney. There are a lot of tour options to these places but we would recommend Cloud 9 Tours hands down and would book another tour without hesitation. James was professional, punctual, generous, fun and personalized the tours for our preferences. The trips with James were highlights during our two week trip in Australia.

Vi hade bokat en tour av Blue Mountains, men på grund av bränderna så var vägarna dit avstängda och en mycket stor del av Blue Mountains hade tyvärr förlorats till bränderna. Vi fick välja om vi ville ha en rundtur i Sydney istället eller få pengarna tillbaka, och vi valde Sydney. Det ångrar vi INTE! Vi fick en fantastisk dag skräddarsydd till vad vi ville och vad vår guide tyckte att vi borde se. Guiden, Greg, var fantastiskt entusiastisk och vänlig och kan verkligen ALLT! Underbar dag, klart värt pengarna!
