Loved every minute of the tour. Rob did a great job to make the experience a memorable one for us. There was only another couple with me and my husband during the tour so we never felt rushed from one attraction to the next. Every stop of the trip was an experience. I highly recommend Sydney Great Escapes!

I had no idea of the beauty of the region. Absolutely a must do if you have time in Sydney--great way to fill a day. Rob runs a small intimate tour business that avoids crowds and gives you an experience that you couldn't possibly get on a megabus. At first it seems a bit pricey, but it is all inclusive--a... More

This is one day trip you do not want to miss. If you want a day filled with great commentary, history, humor and great nuggets of knowlege like a "local"..this is the tour for you! I hate to even call it a tour as you feel as though you have a private coach and traveling with friends. Rob was great... More

We went on Rob's tour yesterday, which had been recommended to us be friends. They were absolutely right. This day was filled with entertaining sights and infos. Rob knows the area like the back of his hand, and if he feels like you might be interested, he will tell you all about it. He makes sure you arrive at the... More

Rob the tour guide was a hoot and made the sometimes long bus ride a fun time with his commentary and stories. The tour itself was exceptional as it tried to beat the tourist - aka - big buscrowds - (max of 14 on his coach). We arrived before the other buses and had some things (featherdale park and some...

We felt let down by the tour for all the money -$145 each - that we paid.The weather was horrible and when you consider the whole point of the journey is to see lovely scenery, and you see nothing but clouds and rain and fog it is not good.The only saving grace was the wildlife reserve visit to see the...

I have been sending countless friends to Great Escapes after being so incredibly pleased with the service and value and decided it was time I wrote a review. I hate tours. I went on this one against my better judgment because a friend was dying to go. She was right. It was just amazing likely because it felt less like... More

I picked this Operator based off reviews here on Trip Advisor, and I couldn't have been happier! After being disappointed by the Blue Mountains over a decade ago (it was foggy, I have pictures of myself an the fence, with naught but fog behind me), I had carefully waited until a promising weather day came along - and it was...

I booked this trip off the back of the reviews on Tripadvisor and wasnt disappointed. The itinerary is well thought out to avoid the crowds and give you lots of stops to see different things. Rob's knowledge of all things Sydney - Blue Mountains ensured we were entertained throughout the day with his interesting anecdotes. Personally I would have liked... More

Our hotel recommended this tour and we were very impressed. The tour guide was informed and she always thought of our enjoyment. Every moment we both felt a genuine caringbryant we be happy about the tour. We both highly recommend this tour initially due to its blue mountain beauty ... But the best was in the service provided!
