Such a wonderful day in Sydney! ❤️
The trip was amazing and I really wanted to give a special shout out to Melanie who made the day so wonderful and fun! ❤️ I truly enjoyed the trip and hearing all the stories and little details about each area. Melanie shared so much knowledge with us while also keeping us entertained throughout the day. With her great energy and warm personality, the day went by so quickly! She always checked what we would enjoy and happily customized the experience for us which made it feel so special. She took such good care of me and all the others and I really appreciated it. If I ever have the chance to visit Sydney again, I would definitely request Melanie to be our guide. Thank you so much Melanie for making the day so special! ❤️ Amp xx
Response from the operator: Melanie is full of positive energy and loves to show off our beautiful greater Sydney region. All of our tours are genuine small group size so our guides can connect with guests and deliver personal, professional attention. Thank you for your kind words

Terrific day in the blue Mountains
We had a spectacular day in the blue Mountains! Terry’s encyclopedic knowledge of the area meant that we saw stunning landscapes, generally, with very few other people present. Teri is also a skilled and experienced photographer, and his sense of light and timing substantially contributed to our opportunity to really engage with the landscape. We felt safe and fully cared for through the entire experience. And the strawberries were delicious!
Response from the operator: So great to hear your feedback. Our private tour allows us to pivot to the guests preferences and pace. So glad you got some good photos too, Thanks

Went to the zoo, wentworth falls Three. Three sisters
Excellent tour . Our tour guide Dan was great! Took us to remote areas with beautiful views .
Response from the operator: Yes, off the radar, spotting kangaroos in the wild. We just want to share a unique, memorable day. Many thanks

Excursion in Sydney
Very fun day. So much on the agenda for the price. Dan was very fun and informative.
Response from the operator: Fun is always top of the list on our tours. Dan is very personable and shares so much insight during the day. We truly apreciate your review, thanks

A wonderful experience enhanced by Terry's passion.
What a great day, thanks Terry! The scenery is simply stunning & Terry's passion & knowledge of the area greatly enhances the day. The late start tour means a bit more sleep time (!) & misses the rush hour traffic, but that is not the main benefit. As a photographer Terry has designed the tour to try & maximise the light conditions at the various viewing points, stopping to see wild kangaroos at dusk, when they are most active, and arriving at the final viewing point just before sunset. The time we spent with Terry was incredibly well researched & organised. He ensured that we got the most out of the day, and were able to take home some wonderful photos and great memories. A long day packed full of great experiences, very highly recommended
Response from the operator: Yes, I love my bushwalks as much as photography but all we want on our tour is to showcase the very best places at the very best times....including spotting kangaroos in the late afternoon sun. So glad you enjoyed everything we did, some great walks, lookouts, great food, photos and great memories. Many thanks

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $763 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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour 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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour?
+
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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour 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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour?
+
Around 19 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 Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour 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, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). 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.
What is included in PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour?
+
Included: Private tour; Entrance fees; Lunch; Free Wi-fi in vehicle; and Transport by executive air conditioned vehicle. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Tea or Coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 64 listed pickup locations in and around Sydney. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for PRIVATE Blue Mountains Wilderness & Wildlife Late Start Tour?
+
