This was such an incredible day! David, our guide, was extremely punctual with our pick up and very thorough with explaining how the tour would progress. He was open with the planning and welcomed any suggestions to make the tour more personalized to our wants and expectations. David is very easy to get along with and even found me a Starbucks to start the day with my required dose of caffeine. The conversation flowed easily and his knowledge of the history of the area seemed endless. He is a skilled driver and made us feel comfortable despite the fact we are not used to driving on the left side of the road! The stops on the tour were spectacular and afforded us breathtaking views of a lifetime. We were able to enjoy sights, away from the hustle and bustle of large tour groups. We spotted some rare wildlife that would not have been possible in a large group. This private experience is definitely worth exploring. His added tips and suggestions for the remainder of our vacation, along with his photography expertise, were just wonderful added bonuses to an already amazing day. We began the day as strangers, but parted as friends. My only regret is that I can only rate 5 stars as this tour truly deserves double that! Tanya & Steve Ontario, Canada
– Tanya RWe have lived in Perth 40 years & have visited Sydney 7 times. Therefore we have seen / done most of the usual tourist haunts & needed something a little different. David from "Escape Scenes" & his 'Private Southern Coast & Southern Highlands" tour fit the bill perfectly. In the past we have taken many Group Tours & Cruise Ship Day Tours by Coach or Minibus on our travels, but this was only our 2nd Private Driver tour. Obviously more expensive than a group tour, but is more than worth it. Having full flexibility to make changes to the already diverse Itinerary was a blessing. It was evident right from the start that David was very knowledgeable on the area, a very safe / skilled Driver & loves his job.
– garybP4081UG | Trip AdvisorAmazing trip planned on the spot thanks to his recommendations we avoided the crowds. He Made us fell very comfortable not only for his skills as a tour guide, photographer, babysitter ;) (he looked after our girls while they were a slept in the car) but also with his tips and interesting explanations. Every penny spent on the trip was worthy. Not only we visited the blue mountains but also a petting zoo and a charming little village were we could stroll around at the middle of our trip to rest a bit :)) thanks David you made an amazing job.
– patriciae62 | TripAdvisor"We booked a tour from our cruise ship in Sydney harbor to the Blue Mountains. David was early to pick us up, worked with us throughout the day to make sure we had the maximum experience we could due to our time limitations. David’s experience and knowledge were evident from the beginning and we couldn’t have been happier with the day we shared with him. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend this tour. Exceptional"
– David G. | TripAdvisor"Fun, friendly, informative & enjoyable! Top Job. Knowledgeable about Sydney & other parts of Australia. Definitely use again "
– JRank1972 | TripAdvisor"Dave was a great tour guide. He planned a relaxing visit to the Blue Mountains with our input. We we're able to stop in Leura for lunch and even a bit of shopping. We did a great hike to Wentworth Falls and enjoyed Vista views of the three sisters and the mountains. We would recommend Dave for a tour around the Sydney area."
– GoPlaces826973 | TripAdvisorIf you’re visiting Sydney and want to see the Blue Mountains at their absolute best, book this tour with David right now. Go. Don’t dawdle, then come back and finish this review. Now that you’re back, you won’t regret your decision. David more than delivers on his promise to escape the crowds and see the Blue Mountains from a unique perspective. David is a very knowledgeable and gracious guide and we simply couldn’t be happier with the services he provided. This tour was the high point of our visit to Australia!
– Voyage702510David is awesome! We were a big group with many heavy luggage. He is so helpful! He customized the literary for our group. Gave us different good suggestions. Good experience in Sydney.
– EmupMy boyfriend and I did this tour when visiting Sydney and couldn’t recommend it more! While there were many closures due to nearby fires, we don’t feel like we missed out at all. In fact - this made the tour all the more fun and exciting! David was able to take us to other sites that we might not have been able to find on our own. He was extremely knowledgable about the area, as well as it’s history. And he even bought us Vegemite to try when we said we’d never had it!!! We especially loved being able to customize our tour. It made for such a personal, enjoyable experience that was absolutely unforgettable.
– alyssajuliaHad 3 days in Sydney as part of a 2 1/2 week vacation with two young adult sons. Wanted to spend a day seeing the Blue Mountains but did not want to be herded around on the big bus milk run tours. David picked us up in Sydney at our Airbnb in his SUV. From there he made suggestions which we were free to (and did) modify on the fly as the day went on. The fires had closed some of the planned areas, but David always came up with options and we got to see the major attractions we'd hoped to see as well as some quieter areas. Were able to avoid the crowds. A full day but at a relaxed pace. Was very nice to be dropped right off at our door at the end of the day,
