Overview

The Blue Mountains National Park is a dissected sandstone plateau with spectacular gorges, sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and forests.

As time is precious we head straight to the mountains after picking you up at your hotel.

We start the day by taking in a number of wonderful lookouts and vistas (5 in all).

The day is completely flexible and from this point we have a few choices.

We can do a bushwalk of 1, 2 or 3 hours duration and will send further information if you are interested.

Alternatively we can include a visit to Scenic World with a smaller bushwalk.

If you prefer not to bushwalk at all we can visit Wentworth Falls and quaint Leura Village or go further afield and visit Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens.

For lunch we can either bring fresh Italian bread with a choice of fillings and salads or visit a local café.

Please note if you would like to see native animals we offer the choice of visiting Symbio Wildlife Park in our Sydney Nimble Royal National Park Tour.

We had a fabulous day with Greg of Sydney NimbleTours on the Blue Mountains day tour. He is a chef, photographer, a connoisseur of plum and carrot cakes, and a great tour guide. Greg was very personable, knowledgeable as well as flexible to accommodate our needs. The day was thoroughly enjoyable and we saw a lot of great views while learning about the history and habitats. I would HIGHLY recommend him to show you his native city of Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

My wife, adult daughter, her boyfriend and I recently visited Sydney. We wanted to spend time in the Blue Mountains, but didn’t want to rent a car. We also wanted to avoid the “small tours” as they seemed impersonal. We came upon the “Blue Mountains” tour with Greg at Sydney Nimble Tours. It was a private tour for only the four of us, with Greg as our guide. This was one of the best decisions of our entire 3-week trip! Before we even arrived in Australia, he asked us about our sightseeing goals. Although there are stops already listed on the website for the tour, he was very flexible and wanted the day to be exactly as we wished. He made suggestions of things to add and subtract. He also adjusted the order of our tour to optimize smaller crowds. We wanted to do some hiking, and he recommended a hike with beautiful views and incredible rock formations. Greg picked us up from our hotel. He did all the driving, telling us various interesting facts along the way. He dropped us off at Scenic World for a visit and to ride the three rides, then picked us up and continued showing us spectacular views, stopping periodically for optimal lookouts and photo ops. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at a quiet grassy area near one of the lookouts and he made us sandwiches, served with side salads and drinks. He drove us deep into the mountains and we hiked the Butterbox Trail and saw stunningly unusual ironstone rock formations. Greg knew all about the rocks and flora and told us native lore and history from the area. We stopped by the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba for a late afternoon tea on our way back to Sydney. Greg was a tour guide extraordinaire! He was so kind and knowledgeable, a safe driver, local lore storyteller, knower of plants and rocks, hiking leader, and even took great photos along the way. We have been raving about our day with him in the Blue Mountains. We all highly recommend this Blue Mountains tour!

About to leave Australia after many years here so we decided to go somewhere interesting, and we’re glad we chose Greg from Sydney Nimble Tours to lead the way. Not our first tour with Greg but definitely the one most worth remembering! He took us to see so many breath-taking views and opened our eyes to a whole new different side of Blue Mountains. We enjoyed his hospitality and the talks along our long drives. Definitely a 10-star trip!

Greg picked us up for a three day trip that included the Blue Mountains, Capertee which hosts the second largest canyon in the world, Lithgow and Mudgee, with lots of sightseeing along the way. Greg is such easy company, knowledgeable and very flexible with what to see and do. Lunch, drinks and snacks were all provided, so all we had to do was enjoy ourselves, which of course we did. Thanks Greg for all your hard work, we were very appreciative and can highly recommend you.
