Highly recommended!
Tour was money well spent. It is packed with organized and awesome activities. Jay, the driver/tour guide was knowledgeable of the area and took good care of the group. I just wished, I could have spent more time at the zoo. Overall, an excellent tour.
via Viator
A great experience all around.
A wonderful experience. The bus arrived a few minutes late but we were soon on our way and on time for all of our tours. The vistas were stunning. The driver did an excellent job of queuing us as the best places to view and where to stand to make the most of our rides. He was wonderful with sharing the history of Australia and its relationships to other countries like the US and England.

A worthwhile day !
Wonderful tour in a mini bus with 20 other people. The guide (Kunal) was knowledgeable and fun. I really enjoyed the tour , I only wish we had more time in each place but there is only so much one can do in one day .

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9,621 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide?
+
Around 3,367 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive, Blue Mountains: Three Sisters, Scenic World and Wildlife park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
