This was a fantastic full day private tour! Scott was awesome! Started with a trip to the Featherdale Zoo in the morning and then enjoyed hiking and seeing the beautiful Blue Mountains. He took us to a great lunch spot as well, that had great options for vegetarians. He was very flexible when designing our itinerary, and very knowledgable about all things we asked of him about many varied Australia things of interest. We (my wife and 2 college-aged children) would highly recommend Your Sydney Guide!
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Your Sydney Guide, and our private Blue Mountains tour was the perfect way to begin our time in Australia.
From the very start, Scott, the owner, was fantastic. He helped us secure a highly sought-after date, took the time to understand what mattered most to our family, and thoughtfully tailored the itinerary to match our interests. Most importantly, he paired us with Sam as our tour guide.
Sam was, without question, the star of the day and one of the highlights of our entire trip to Australia. She was the perfect guide: warm, knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely engaging. Her background in animal care, sanctuary work, and even venomous snake handling added incredible depth to everything we saw and learned in the Blue Mountains. She shared insights about wildlife, ecology, and everyday life in Australia that made the day both fascinating and fun — and the time absolutely flew by.
What truly set Sam apart was how naturally she connected with our family. She instantly bonded with our 12-year-old daughter (who later declared Sam her favorite person she met in Australia), and even went out of her way to make a spontaneous stop at Woolworths to hunt down Pascall Clinkers — not on the itinerary, but unforgettable for our daughter. Sam was also a great photographer, a wonderful conversationalist, and even gave invaluable advice for driving on the left when we headed to Melbourne.
Throughout the day, everything felt perfectly paced. We were always where we needed to be, yet never rushed, and Sam made it easy to adjust plans on the fly. Saying goodbye at the end of the tour genuinely felt sad — a true sign of how special the experience was.
If you’re considering a tour, book with Your Sydney Guide. The experience is top-notch, deeply personalized, and absolutely worth every penny. They delivered more than we hoped for.
Charlie was amazing. Easy scheduling and he made some suggestions for small changes that enhanced our trip. He reached out a day or two before our tour and made these small suggestions. Saved us some frustration and lessened our wait times at places. He suggested a different route on our hike and it made all the difference. He helped us avoid crowds and his knowledge and backwoods experiences made our trip that much more amazing. I would not go with any other tour guide, ever.
