About this experience

Your own private tour. This full day PRIVATE tour of the World Heritage Blue Mountains is with a fully professional guide with over 30 years experience. Please note that this tour is fully private and I will do my best to craft out the most perfect day for every group I take up to the Mountains. Having lived all my life in Sydney I know every nook and cranny, every secret lookout point. My love and passion for the BLue Mountains and my guests is evident in every tour I take. We visit on all tours: Katoomba, Scenicworld , Leura, Australia's Grand Canyon , The Boars Head Rock, The Three Sisters, Echo Point, Wildlife Park, Katoomba Falls and much more. A little bit of aboriginal culture - even Boomerang throwing (in good weather). Getting out of the busy city to the fresh air of the mountains. Returning by the River Cruise. Free pick up from your Sydney accommodation.

Excellent service and accomplished guide.

Chose to use this company again for my family to the Blue mountains. They are very reliable and keep you well in touch through the booking process and their guides are very experienced. Again loved our day in the mountains even in winter it is so good. Never get tired of visiting. We will be recommending to our friends.

Having Dave to show us the Blue Mountains made our day.

We love Australia and have returned to see more, such a vast country and the people are so nice. Our last day in Sydney we did the Blue mountains with Dave again a private tour. We told him the places we went last year and so discovered other towns and viewpoints to give us a different perspective. He took us out to Govetts leap which was out of his way but was no trouble to Dave. A marvelous lunch in Katoomba and the ferry back to the city gave us another memorable visit. My wife and I highly recommend the company services they are so professional thank you so much Dave.

A wonderful day!

Dave was a marvelous guide, full of patience and pleasantry. He shared stories about the mountains and the legends with us.

5 Star Dave

Dave from Blue Ribbon tours was our guide- i call him “5 Star Dave” because he pretty much thought of everything and passionately discussed history, sight seeing, exploring, hiking and brought us to out of the way places, a great Katoomba restaurant- we had Ruebens - (yum) and a cinnamon roll for dessert. He’s been guiding most of his life and does it for fun - unlike many guides you may get that are newbies and haven’t yet polished the tour you’ll get. A very picturesque day thanks to 5 star Dave !

Fantastic tour of Blue Mountain

We want to visit The Blue Mountains but didn’t want to join a group tour as we are a family of 5 with young kids . Went with The Blue Ribbons private tour just for our family . Picked us up at our hotel and did everything at our own pace . Our guide Dave is super friendly and knowledgeable about Blue Mountain. Brought us to a lovely place for lunch in Kotomba town . Highly recommended.

PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise.: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.

How much does PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise. cost?

+

Prices start at $480 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 PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise. 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 PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise. worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise.?

+

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 PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise. 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 PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise.?

+

Around 4 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 PRIVATE Blue Mountains Tour with Wildlife Park and River Cruise. 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, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide. 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.
