I had a lovely time on my trip out to the Blue Mountains with Ben and Nigel as our guides! We were lucky enough that there were only 3 of us in total so it was almost a private tour! Even though there were only a small number of us, Ben and Nigel made me feel completely at ease and were the best tour guides. The tour was nice and relaxed with a little hike in the middle right before lunch. Ben became our personal photographer while giving us all the facts and taking us to lookout points that weren't as busy. Overall I had a fantastic day and would really recommend, it was a lot easier than trying to do it by myself and I found out so much that I wouldn't have otherwise known :)

Then, explore the Blue Mountains National Park on a guided bushwalk. See amazing waterfalls and rainforest flora, and discover secluded lookouts.

We had a great time. Scottie noticed it was rainy/cloudy heading to Blue Mountains so we did the zoo visit first instead of after lunch. The weather cleared and we had awesome views of the “seven sisters”, orphaned rock, and other sites
