7.00- 7.30AM Depart from the hotel with AEA Luxury Tours. Our first stop of the day is at Calmsley Hill a working farm also home to Kangaroos, Emus, Wombats and Koalas. Enjoy morning tea and time to wander at leisure. From Calmsley Hill we continue to ascend the Blue Mountains via the highway. We will visit one of a range of stunning outlooks of the Jamison Valley seeing beautiful vistas. Where possible this will be away from the crowds of tours that visit the mountains each day with other operators, thus our guests will enjoy a stress and hurry free environment taking in the views and information imparted by their guide.
Continuing on we arrive at Eaglehawk Lookout, a remote lookout points away from the crowds for views of the famous Three Sisters. Whilst the Blue Mountains features so much more than this natural attraction you can’t help but admire the unquestionable beauty of this amazing rock formation. The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colours. Here your guide will discuss the legends behind this famous rock formation and time available for you to take some great photos.
We then make our way around the mountain towards the village of Blackheath and our lunch venue the Hydro Majestic. Here in this relaxed venue with stunning views. We enjoy a 2-course lunch with tea/coffee. All diets are catered for (excluding Kosher Meals). Beverages can be purchased at your own expense from the Bar.
The afternoon is spent visiting a selection of lookouts. Once you clap your eyes on the view from Govetts Leap you’ll know why it’s one of the most famous lookouts in Australia. The magnificent waterfall drops a whopping 180m to the base of the cliff and the lookout provides sweeping views down the valley to the Grose Wilderness. We then stop briefly to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice at the delightful Blue Mountains Botanic Garden our last stop, where we enjoy the sweeping views across to Sydney before travelling down the Bells Line of Road and its fruit orchard industry. We arrive back at your hotel approximately 4.30 – 5.00pm

Half day City tour on a Sunday morning. A wonderful tour on a Sunday morning, well conducted by our guide Mr Graham. The tour is well planned and covers the iconic landmarks in comfort and ease.
Great trip. Knowledgeable guide We did the Blue Mountain Wild life day. Dont do any real hiking, our trip wasnt listed as above. It wa Wild Life Day.Really great experience, our guide Karyn was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. A well planned day. Thoroughly recommend trip.
One comment we would make is it would have been nice to have a 5 minute icebreaking introduction and interaction, just to get to know the other travellers on the minibus before we set off. We were a small group and it would have enhanced the day. One lady was on her own and while we were all friendly it would have helped her feel welcome from the outset.
It is difficult on a trip like this to chat much and while we are chatty and friendly people, it isnt always easy for the passengers to start a conversation. This 5 min introduction, who we were, where we were from just helps to bond a group of people together.
Fantastic full day tour We saw so many beautiful sites on this tour. Our guide Helder, was so interesting, knowledgeable and humorous which made the trip all the more enjoyable.
Highlights were a farm with kangaroos, koalas, emus and many other favorites, waterfalls, Blue Mountains, a fantastic lunch (we had the delicious beef pie) and many other sites.
Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.
Fabulous Blue mountains tour We had an amazing trip to the blue mountains picked up directly from our hotel so punctual lovely vehicle. The best part of our trip however (apart from the mountains) was Nigel our tour guide he was so knowledgable giving us a wonderful history of Sydney on our way around town prior to leaving the city and then continued with such interesting information on our journey. When we got to the mountains Nigel stopped at fantastic look outs that were not the ‘usual’ stops so we got to see really fantastic sights that were not too crowded. A really delicious lunch was served en route at a beautiful hotel Nigel, recommended the pie wow he was right ! Would thoroughly recommend this trip it was a highlight for us! Thank you Nigel for making it so great! Jo
Great Blue Mtn tour We had a wonderful tour to the Blue Mountains guided by Tyler. We had stops at many overlooks without large tour groups. We finished the day with a stop at the base of the Harbor Bridge. Thanks Tyler for your great information!
Amazing day tour. Excellent guide, I recommend Helder, he was informative, trustworthy. He took pictures of the group and pointed out the most important part about our tour.
An amazing and unforgettable tour Helder was amazing; he took care of us as if we were his children. The experience was so special that it was impossible not to enjoy every moment.Not only was the tour amazing, but the food was absolutely spectacular.
Fabulous Tour Helder was the best tour guide we have encountered in all our travels. He was very knowledgeable, took us to amazing places & viewing sites, and accommodated to all our needs. We highly recommend this tour and Helder as your tour guide for an amazing experience.
Blue mountain The tour guide was amazing; he took care of us as if we were his children. The experience was so special that it was impossible not to enjoy every moment.
Blue mountain, Sydney Amazing tour! Amazing experience! The best tour guide I’ve ever had. Helder was truly knowledgeable and experienced. He created a family atmosphere within our group of 12, and made us feel like we had known him all our lives. I highly recommend the tour and Helder.
Blue Mountains It was one of the best tours I have ever taken! Our tour guide Helder was amazing! He was so informative & kind! We recommend this tour😘🙏💕
Give it a go If you run out of things to do in Sydney it is worth doing but focus on Sydney first. There is an optional hike, I did not know about this. Do the optional hike if you are physically able. The best thing about the Blue Mountains is hiking, views from the viewing points are good but I felt I missed out on hiking. The Team are super friendly with booking, changing dates etc. Well managed firm !
Hopefully i will do this again sometimes in the future. What i have not done. Karyn is the best tour guide. Very nice and enjoy it very much. Our first time in Sydney and the tour was very enjoyable and exciting. Karyn was the best tour guide.
Really enjoyed it. Graham was a great tour guide for us. Our first time in Sydney, really enjoyed the tour very much. Amazing and very beautiful. Surprised what we experienced in Sydney how beautiful it is.
Very concise, entertaining and informative. Helder was funny, knowledgeable and friendly. I swam at Bondi beach ; great Beautiful Sydney tour with knowledgeable guide Helder, who was very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. Also helpful at Bondi.
Wonderful experience would recommend it to others Peter was fabulous! He was kind and knowledgeable of the blue mountain and where we were going and also of were I had been, New Zealand. So it was great to get to hear about the difference between the two countries. He was incredibly helpful with me and patience and wanted to make sure I felt safe in my walking with the steps. Which is can be a safety issue for me. Even though it is a long day I would recommend it to other! The views were fabulous even on an over cast day like today!Excellent, we loved it and the guide was fantastic, always available to explain everything with excellent general knowledge. I recommend him for his professionalism and friendliness.
Best tour ever Our guide Helder was great. We saw many things and he took a lot of care to ensure that we were well informed of what we were seeing, the details of the trip, when to be back to the bus, and more. Lunch was wonderful all around a great experience
Stunning overnight trip in the Blue Mountains Great trip overnight to the Blue Mountains. A stop off at local farm to see some rescue animals (koala, kangaroo, wallaby). Plenty of stops for incredible views of the mountains, lovely lunch and a stop too at the Botanical gardens. Both Cathy and Helder were friendly, fun and informative guides. Thanks so much!
Glorious Views of the Blue Mountains I great day out to see some spectacular sights. Our guide and driver Helder enhanced the trip with a steady flow of interesting facts about where we were and what we could see. If you want to see experience the Blue Mountains it is a great day out.
Sightseeing tour in and about Sydney Thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide Helder did a superb job sharing information. My very favorite part of this tour was stopping at several points of interest, especially the beaches.
KAREN IS THE BEST We had an amazing experience hiking in the Blue Mountains and visiting Calmsley Hill farm. Karen was our driver and she was fantastic!! She gave us a great educational commentary on our drive out of Sydney and was very entertaining. She made sure we were all prepared for each stop on the trip. We hit a couple of bumps during our tour (some of the guests kinda sucked) but Karen was patient and a great problem solver. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and we really appreciated it. She even hiked up and down over 800 stairs in like 15 mins (impressive!!!) to make sure some of the guests who had fallen behind were ok. Give that woman a raise (and a drink)!!!! Thanks Karen!!!
Comprehensive Blue Mountain explorer There is a lot of driving on this trip, but this means you get to see the main sights in the Blue Mountains. Karyn the guide was very knowledgeable and informative all day and made the driving pass quickly with her running commentary of places and just general info about Australian history, culture, wildlife etc. thoroughly enjoyable day.We also took an all-day tour of the Blue Mountains with Larry, whose knowledge of the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the mountains is nothing short of spectacular. If you visit Sydney, take a tour with AEA. You will not regret it.
Fantastic! Highly recommend this with him as a guide Helder our guide very informative and pleasant. Enjoyed the tour very muchGive him a raise . We really saw a lot in one day , they provide lunch . Not only plants , botanical gardens , the farm with kangaroos, Koala, and more , the Grand Canyon , waterfalls . And cockatoos as wild all over . He made sure to explain everything and answer our questions. He was on time all day !
Worth a go Great sights and an excellent guide whose name was helder Good talks about life in Australia. The walk was very hilly but worth the effort
What an adventure! Totally recommend this tour We had a wonderful time and an amazing experience. Karyn was great, very informative, and knowledgeable about her history.
🌟 An Incredible Tour Experience with Karyn! 🌟 We recently went on a tour with Karyn, and she was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was friendly, pleasant, and full of great energy. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable — especially my wife, who wasn’t feeling well. Karyn was incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful throughout the experience. She was also very informative, sharing interesting details about what we were seeing and what was coming next. Overall, Karyn made the tour truly enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend her!
Good, would do it again Karen is extremely knowledgeable and was the perfect guide for this trip. The Blue mountains are very nice to see and enjoy
Nice all day trip to Blue Mountains, with nice views, also visitting a farm with Australian animals. A very good guide A nice day, with a very good guide, also explaining the Australian history. Nice views, a very nice Garden during the day
A great start in Sydney Paul did a great job of showing us the city. We enjoyed the tour and there was so much to see. Sydney is an enormous city with a lot of history and historical sites. Paul was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This is great start to see the city and decide what you would explore further.
Don't Miss This An excellent paced that was thorough and enjoyable all around Sydney. A great way to start your Sydney holiday! Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
Superb tour and driver! This tour was amazing in no small part due to Karyn our driver. She was not only an excellent driver but also a guide. She gave a brilliant commentary about the trip and also a very informative history on all aspects of her clearly much loved Australia. Thoroughly recommend this tour and hope you're lucky enough to have Karyn at the wheel!
Great wildlife and sightseeing tour Helder was an excellent tour guide. Great trip seeing wildlife, waterfalls, vistas, botanical gardens. Excellent lunch
Visited wildlife center with Koalas, kangaroo, pheasant, wombats and many other animals
highly recommend this trip
We had a great time on this tour! We had a fantastic day visiting the Blue Mountains! Our guide, Helder, was great at providing details and history but not putting us to sleep. Visiting the farm was fun, particularly since we could see various animals in larger fenced areas. Lunch was better than expected and the variety of options fit everyone. While the fog kept us from seeing much at the overlooks, Helder adjusted our schedule a bit to allow more time to see the birds, landscape, waterfalls and mountain area when the fog broke up a bit. Our last stop to see and take photos with the cocktoos was amazing. His 'surprise' was also a nice one. A great way to end the trip before our ride back to Sydney.
Perfect Sydney Tour Amazing tour! Lot’s of interesting sites and beautiful picture taking opportunities! Lovely guide who was so knowledgeable and fun!Andy was courteous and informative. A luxury 14 people van for our small group. Impressive.
Great tour with amazing views! Great tour with amazing views! The driver took us to all the best look outs. The visit to the farm with kualas and kangaroos was also great. Well organized, professional and very friendly.
One day in Sydney We had one full day in Sydney so we had to make choices with our time. We prefer nature and active exploration, so for our first time on this beautiful continent it was the perfect option. We also wanted to avoid tourist traps. This was unequivocally the right choice. Eamonn had us in good hands the whole day and was very knowledgeable about each stop. The hike is very manageable but be aware it is not a kiddie ride. Lunch was very good. The veg option was better and tastier than the regular.
Double aspect view of Sydney The tour guide was excellent and the excursion packed in a lot of sights which was amazing for our short stay in Sydney. We would recommend this trip as a must when visiting Sydney.
The highlights of Sydney Dane was the tour leader and Matt was along for the ride as a trainee. Dane did the narration and was excellent and knowledgeable. Gave us photo opportunities and decent length stops to view the different important sites.
Perfect arrival day Sydney orientation Thinking Sydney is nothing more than a bridge, harbor, and opera house .think again! Perfect 3hour low-key orientation tour of Sydney and surrounding neighborhoods. Small group, easy on and off picture taking spots with a short stop at Bondi beach ( you will want more time here). Would do this on day one for sure helps with Jet lag in a fun informative way.
