Excellent lunch
Visited wildlife center with Koalas, kangaroo, pheasant, wombats and many other animals
highly recommend this trip
Andy was courteous and informative. A luxury 14 people van for our small group. Impressive.
Beware the way how they treat the other people can be the way they treat you.
Would have been amazing if we had a guide with us on the lovely walk so we could have learnt a little more about the flora and fauna along the way. Maybe a leaflet with what you see and some information would be useful. The picnic lunch was fantastic with really well filled sandwiches. Plentiful water was handed out along the trip and great fizz at the final stop.
Such a knowledgeable person and explaining all the history and current happenings of Sydney.
All the main sceneries covered in half a day during the morning so you may try to do other activities during noon.
The day was packed with plenty of photo stops along the way. Timings were kept to which meant no wasted time and you got a very good taster tour of the Blue Mountains in one day. We enjoyed seeing the animals up close at the city farm and the Botanic gardens are stunning.
The company though had not organised things well. Nearly all the guests are older tourists and I heard this is typical. It's really windy and chilly in the morning and no guidance to bring a hoody or jersey etc. Some of us purchased jackets at the lunchtime tourist store (part of a plan?) I heard quite a few moans about that. The lunch picnic sandwich provided to walkers was essentially just a tube wrap full of mayonnaise that burst out of both ends simultaneously on any contact with the mouth. Both inedible and v messy, especially where no bathrooms available. But the biggest issue is the hike to Evans Point. I was OK with it as a regular runner, but found it unpleasant due to long, continuous steep ascents. Some of the older members of the group barely made it. I felt so bad for them. Please know this is a challenging, mostly uphill climb. Not a scenic walk. Great cardio workout but really not fun. Most walkers felt this had not been well articulated. So, a mixed bag I'm afraid.
We did make the most of the trip - got foggy photos of the blue mountains. The driver was helpful when we weren't driving. We got to see Kangaroos and Koala Bears. It was fun - just missed some of the background. No compensation given.
