Ben was an excellent guide. He took us to the zoo where we were able to hand feed a kangaroo and an emu. We also got our picture taken with a koala. We then spent a lot of time hiking to waterfalls and seeing the three sisters from all different angles. Lunch was amazing as well. Highly recommend this tour and the guide

What a perfect day! The Blue Mountains, 3 Sisters, Scenic World etc.. were so beautiful.
We had an awesome tour guide, Ben who shared with us many insights into the areas we visited, along with info about Sydney as well, and other interesting facts about all of AUS.
Ben was engaging and made the day so much fun!
We felt very lucky to have picked this tour and to have Ben as our guide!
We hope to return someday and have Ben show us around again.
Thanks again Ben for making our last day in AUS so special!

This was a perfect day out seeing the Blue Mountains! Ben, our tour guide, was splendid!
Prompt and kind, he was highly knowledgeable about the area, and shared facts with us about the mountains, animals and plant life. The drive to and from the mountains was smooth, and he had bottles of water for us as well. Ben communicated with us before AND during the tour, sculpting an experience that included all the things we really wanted to see and do. The hikes weren't too strenuous, but there were always moments to stop if we needed to. The waterfalls were gorgeous, the rainforest crisp and cool, and we also had the chance to do Scenic World, and even take a lunch break with a stunning view. Pacing was relaxed, and Ben never rushed anything. Highly recommend and would do again!

Great day out with Ben to see a small part of the Blue Mountains National Parks. We added in a visit to Scenic World, which we really enjoyed.
Ben adapted our private tour to avoid the crowds and to take into account our stiff joints to make sure we still had a great experience. His local knowledge made the trip even more enjoyable. Fully recommend

Visiting the Blue Mountains was an unforgettable journey through one of Australia's most iconic landscapes. The hiking trails Ben took us on were a perfect balance of challenge and reward, catering to our skill level. His wealth of knowledge, passion for adventure, and genuine hospitality transformed what could have been a simple excursion into an immersive and transformative experience. For anyone seeking to explore the wonders of the Blue Mountains, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this journey with Ben as your guide.

Ben was fabulous! We discussed our wish list ahead of time and he was on it! We included a stop at the zoo first. He had pre-purchased early admission tickets and we buzzed right ahead of the crowds. The weather wasn’t great, but we still saw some beautiful views! Ben joined us for a tasty lunch in Katoomba. He was polite, informative and patient with us (Americans)! He has travelled the world over and shared many of his exciting adventures. We really enjoyed our day!

This blue mountain tour with Ben was wonderful. He provided an interesting and descriptive conversation as we rolled along to the blue mountains. We made a stop at Sydney zoo which we loved. It provided us a great opportunity to see the native Australian species up close. We then continued to the blue mountains and made various stops, it included the Scenic world trams which were fabulous. The views were outstanding.
Of special note to travelers with conditions that can affect mobility from time to time, I definitely think you should consider Ben. He was completely understanding and flexible with determining how to move around comfortably for us when my husbands condition flared a bit. The next day we did a Sydney tour and he totally customized it to what we needed and wanted (shopping for me and museum for hubby) and was right on target with limiting our need to walk around too much yet still seeing everything, quite a feat in a busy city! Getting to drive around centennial park was a special treat.
I will highly recommend Ben to family and friends!
