A private day tour from the city to blue
Mountains and around ! He was great. Highly Recc
David was an excellent guide — very attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about his job. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows in the way he explains, helps, and makes everyone feel comfortable. Everything was well organized, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Highly recommended! 👏
Picked up from our hotel by Dave our friendly and knowledge tour expert in his comfortable luxurious 8-seater SUV for a 9 hour tour.
Itinerary was totally flexible as nothing was set in stone. We opted for a 90 minute visit to Featherdale wildlife park to see some of the indigenous species including wombats, paddymelons, kangaroos and everyone's favourite the Koala bears.
The rest of the journey was centred in and around the Blue Mountains overlooking Jameson valley. Dave knows this area like the back of his hand, and took us to see some amazing views whilst being able to avoid the touristy crowds as he knows the tour company routes and schedules. Along the way Dave kept us informed with titbits of information on local history and geography based on several years experience in the area.
We would like to thank Dave for taking us on a memorable day out, and thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone who wishes to have a private tour of the Blue Mountains in a comfortable vehicle with an expert guide. Thanks Dave!!!
Our tour guide, Dave, was exceptional. He tailored the entire tour to suit our interests and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He even provided drinks and Tim Tams, which was a lovely touch!
Dave took us to a range of stunning lookouts and some hidden gems we would have never found on our own. All in all, it was a spectacular and memorable tour — highly recommended!
We enjoyed multiple vantage points of the Three Sisters, each offering unique and breathtaking views. David also guided us to several stunning waterfalls and less-frequented scenic spots that most tourists miss. While you can’t expect to have the mountains entirely to yourself, David’s timing and route planning helped us avoid the worst of the bus crowds and made each stop feel relaxed and personal.
Lunch at a local pub in Katoomba was a great touch – classic fare washed down with a refreshing pint made for a perfect midday break.
David was not only knowledgeable and passionate about the area, but also humorous and engaging, which added a great vibe to the whole day. The transportation was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, making the journey as enjoyable as the destinations.
Highly recommend Escape Scenes and David if you're looking for a personal, well-paced, and unforgettable Blue Mountains experience!
We did a day trip around the Blue Mountains and vicinity.
We were picked up from our hotel in central Sydney.
Dave is a highly experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. Was able to answer all our questions and is passionate about the nature and wildlife.
I liked the way that while on the tour Dave would show us round but would also give us time to explore on our own as a family. He was also great at getting the perfect family photos.
The tour was also completely flexible and we were able to adapt as we went on. The petting zoo was great suggestion.
Dave’s new car is immaculate. It really was a luxury way to travel.
Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks once again to Dave.
Rob, Milly and girls.
We were two couples and would not hesitate to recommend him safe in the knowledge that he will deliver a first class service.
First day we Visited Blue Mountains and Dave took us to all the amazing sites including some where there were no other tourists.
Second trip was a day at Hunter Valley with delicious wine tasting in 3 beautiful Vineyards and a lovely lunch.
On our first stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park, he gave us a terrific overview and description of many of the animals, including the intriguing Pademelons. He also gave us time to explore on our own. He made sure I got the best-possible photos of birds and animals of interest.
At Glenbrook, we got a terrific view of Wentworth Falls. We decided not to hike down to, and swim under, under the falls. He assured we still experienced impressiveness of the falls.
All along the way, David went above and beyond to get us the best of views and experiences. We viewed the Three Sisters from two different viewpoints.
I suggest taking the time for a pub lunch in Katoomba. It is a good opportunity to feel like a "local" and to relax mid-trip. We also enjoyed the stop in the mountain village of Leura where we could briefly browse in shops.
Our tour with David could not have been more delightful, educational, and thrilling.
David’s local knowledge of the area was invaluable and helped us beat the crowds along with seeing the best vantage points of the blue mountains.
David was very pleasant to spend the day with.
We highly recommend this private tour.
Your trip been really well organized.
We were pleasantly surprised about all your explanations about the blue mountains and wildlife in Australia, we had a great day, amazed and full of discoveries, surprises and memories out of too crowded tourists places.
Hope to see you again for some great new adventures ????????????????
