This company excels in their product, They only go to Blue mountains so the hotel recommended them. With hotel drop off, taking us top each attraction. extra time at Scenicworld for the kids to enjoy a grand day. Saw all the Aussie animals at Featherdales too. We even had a picnic lunch at a lookout and we were taken back to our hotel. A very special day.

Down in Sydney for a party on Sunday decided to make another trip to the Blue Mountains. It's just nice to get out of the city for a day of short hikes, a good lunch and a little shopping in Leura. Dave obliged and returned us early for the evening Opera House show. It was a relaxing day with Dave an absolute pleasure.

So Much More Than a Typical Blue Mountains Tour
Australian Adventure Company provided one of the highlights of our time in Australia. Mary and I spent the day exploring the Blue Mountains with Sam, the owner, and came away with a real appreciation for the company he has built.Sam’s local knowledge took us far beyond the standard tourist stops, including remote trails leading to breathtaking cliffside locations where we were completely alone in nature. He also introduced us to wonderful local cafés and a fascinating art shop with truly unique pieces, the kinds of places we never would have found on our own.We also genuinely enjoyed Sam as a person. His easy, natural personality and sincere commitment to taking care of us made it feel less like being with a tour guide and more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend. Traveling in his beautiful Mercedes added to an already first-class experience.While we didn’t personally tour with the other guides, it was clear that Sam’s approach to service reflects the culture he has created throughout Australian Adventure Company and his team.They may not be the least expensive option, but we felt the experience far exceeded the cost. If you’re looking for something beyond the typical cookie-cutter tour, a personal, authentic experience with local insight and places you’d likely never discover on your own, we wholeheartedly recommend Australian Adventure Company.

We chose this company after the good reviews, and they are really excelent for a tour out at the Blue Mountian.s.
Having been in Sydney some 10 years ago we decided it was worthy of another visit, not much has changed. We were pleasantly surprised when we researched a private tour to the mountains that they do that one. Last time was on a bus, this time we saved up a little more money to afford a private trip. It is well justified as you get the maximum from the day, particularly having Dave. He took us to lots of different places in the mountains to last time and the entire day was viewing beautiful scenery , particularly liked going off track down to the Megalong Valley for lunch stopping off at Govetts Leap. Another grand day.

Julie did a great job giving us the lay of the land and a lot of history about Sidney We even spotted whales on one of our walks. We especially appreciated her recommendations of what to do on a rainy day since we had planned a lot of outdoor afternoon activities. Thanks Julie.

Sydney Marathon Tour!
We had a fabulous tour of the city while "chasing" our girls who were running the Sydney Marathon. Helen was amazing at laying out a route where we were able to see our girls five times during the course of their three plus hour run. All along the way, we were able to see the highlights of various spots in the city. We were grateful that she did this inaugural type of tour with us as we have the memories of watching our girls run with the backdrop of many beautiful Sydney city highlights. Thank you Helen!

Great way to see the Blue Mountains. We traveled with our infant daughter and this tour allowed us to go at our own pace. Our tour guide helped pick locations suitable for our family and was very helpful, thinking of many little things that made the trip easier for us.

Different Side of Australia
A fantastic way to discover a different side of Australia! The private tour took us beyond the usual tourist spots and gave us a chance to experience beautiful nature and wildlife up close. The whole experience felt personal, relaxed, and well organized. A memorable day and definitely worth doing if you want to see Australia beyond the city! Thank you Matt.

We visited Sydney three years ago and had Matt as a tour guide we thought he was great then and when we had the opportunity to have him as our tour guide for this visit we booked him as our guide. Matt is a great guide and very flexible with the schedule. He is a true bushman! Our tour started with him showing us various leaves and how they could be used to clean, other leaves that were used for wounds and medicinal purposes. we were leaving an area and noticed a white barked tree with what looked like a black rope running up the tree. He pulled over and pulled some of the bark off the tree to show us that the black rope was actually termites and a good source of protein in the bush. He did eat them, we passed on the opportunity to taste them! We enjoyed the visit to the Sanctuary and the opportunity to pet the animals. The magic garden was very special and the lunch on the beach was exceptional. It was a great day full of educational activities, learning about how to survive in the bush and the history of Sydney. A wonderful day spent with a very creative guide.

Terry was an absolutely fabulous guide! We had a wonderful experience all around. Our thirteen-year-old proclaimed him “the best guide ever,” and that’s no small feat — the competition has been fierce. Terry’s deep knowledge of the area made it possible for us to experience wonderful highlights over the course of the day. We would never have found the spots he took us to (even as adventurous, experienced travelers).The unexpected bonus was learning that Terry is a fellow photographer who truly understands the craft. The later start was great in two ways: one, it gave us more time for breakfast in the morning. And two — and more important — we had wonderful light for great images throughout the day, especially at the end (with some night photography, to boot). We are so appreciative! Thank you, Terry and Picture Me Sydney!
