READ OUR TESTIMONIALS

Hi, just a little note to say that we enjoyed our tour to both the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley on 6 and 7 Oct 08 respectively were very good! And Nigel, our tour guide, was simply excellent - he planned the trips very well and everything just fell into place for us! The views at Blue Mountains were simply awesome. We also enjoyed both the lunches; they were yummy! We were glad that we joined your tour and it would really value for money for us! And Nigel, yes, you are No. 1 - simply the best! With warm regards

Cheers, and thank you,

Helen & Mark from Singapore Oct 2008

Hi Just wanted to e-mail you to say we've just returned from a great holiday in Australia, but wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our day trips to the Hunter Valley last Tuesday (with Daniel) and the Blue Mountains on Friday (with Nigel). They both made the days go well, and helped to make our second visit to Oz really special. Please pass our thanks on to them.

Thank you,
The Brunskill family April 2008

Geoffrey, The tour was wonderful and was certainly a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide Daniel was excellent and we really can't express to you how pleased we were with him. He went above and beyond and he even found a place for us to have mass in the forest. He did a wonderful job. The highlights of the tour were definitely the Featherdale wildlife park and the natural beauty of the Jamison valley. Thanks so much for the great time, it made our trip all the more memorable! Thanks! August 2008

We are finally home and I wanted to send an email to let you all know how much we enjoyed our Blue Mountain Tour. Lucky for us we had perfect weather. Nigel did a great job showing us around. I enjoyed that he was able to take us on some good hikes. We enjoyed getting away from the other tour buses. The mountains were beautiful. We enjoyed the cable car rides and the railway ride up the mountain. Our lunch at the Country Club was good and came at the right time for a break. Thanks again to Nigel and Sydney Wilderness tours for making this tour so memorable.
