Driver Dave fully customized our tour— he is extremely knowledgeable sharing his years of experience guiding folks through the beautiful Blue Mountains. He took us to views well off the trodden path and avoided the big bus tours of crowds. We also visited the Ferndale Animal rescue park— what a delight overall and we can’t recommend Dave and his brand new Mercedes van!

David’s Blue Mountains Escape the Crowds tour was exactly what we were seeking. Not only did we avoid the crowds; David took us to gorgeous vistas of the Three Sisters where we were unbelievably the only people there! He is a very knowledgeable guide and enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the cultural history, terrain, flora and fauna throughout the tour. We loved the flexibility of the day, as we were given choices throughout. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who doesn’t want to clump along with the tour buses and desires a personalized experience!

Visiting the Blue Mountains for a day trip with David did not disappoint! David was punctual, friendly, courteous, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable about Australia, Sydney and The Blue Mountains area. Hi car is clean and comfortable and he really went out of his way to personalize the experience for us. We visited Featherdale where we had close encounters with the animals, we took a gorgeous hike up Wentworth Falls and saw the famous Three Sisters as David regaled us with myths, legends and geological facts about how they were formed. We enjoyed a wonderful pub lunch and poked through a quirky local town. David is wonderful - we highly recommend his SUV tour!
