We had some specific time requests and also wanted a more intense and lightly bit of hiking. Our needs were well met and we had a great day. Jellen was a great host and guide from the start. He was prompt and friendly on pick up. He adjusted the day as it went based on our needs and timing. He was very friendly and knew a lot about the areas we visited including the bird and wildlife we saw. On my next trip to Syndey I will be planning ahead to do some more excursions with Jellen and Dingo Tours.

Gregg is one amazing tour guide…read more You look for someone wearing red outside Customs House at either 10:30am or 2:30pm for an awesome three-hour guided tour of the city. Some history quirks are mentioned. For instance: why was the Sydney Opera House built over budget? Was the building of the Sydney Opera House Sydney's response to compete with Melbourne? An awesome city unfolds. See some amazing street art, and well as learn about an interesting tree at The Royal Botanical Gardens. Who knows you might get to touch the lucky pig. Discover the best parts of Macquarie Street, Hyde Park, Martin Place, The Ivy, Circular Quay and The Rocks. Gregg really knows his stuff. A walking encyclopaedia. Peek Tours has been around for about three years, and Gregg conducted such tours in Europe prior. All you need to do is turn up at your allocated time. Unless you wish to walk in a group of 10 or more people, bookings need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. Peek Tours also conducts a Party Tour and a Rocks Pub Walk. Had an awesome time. Check out the amazing group photos on their Facebook page. Although the tour is free upfront, tips are advised - pay for what you feel the experience was worth to you at the end. Priceless.

Greg answered all of my questions about the Rocks area as well as gave me helpful tips on how to have a "Barbie on the beach" on my walk from Coogee to Bondi tomorrow.

We weren't sure if our tour would be impacted by the smoke and haze or not. First Paul kept us informed in the time leading up to our tour and even on the morning of the tour, Paul showed up saying he couldn't promise great visibility but he would try his best IF we wanted to go, if not, he totally understood and whatever we decided was fine. We couldn't believe how he much he was willing to work with us. We decided to give it a shot, we didn't have anything else planned it seemed a shame not to try. We are so glad we did. True the smoke did somewhat hamper our visibility but Paul did such a great job taking us to wonderful lookouts that were off the beaten path that we still did get to see some remarkable vistas. It almost looked otherworldly at times with just faint silhouettes of the mountains rising above the smoke. We had seen other visitors photos so felt like we were getting to see the Blue Mountains from a vantage point few others have experienced. Plus Paul taught us many thing about the flora, fauna and Tim Tam Slams along the way. After a super lunch, Paul thought of another place to take us so we could see some other great views in the Royal National Park that were not obscured by the smoke. It was breathtakingly beautiful and just went to show how versatile and fluid the tour could be. Paul really does go all out to make sure you have the best tour possible. He is extremely knowledgeable about a host of different subjects and was so laid back and easy to be around that he was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Our entire group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend Blue Mountain Eco Tours.

Mark is very enthusiastic and talked to us in great detail on many topics. My favorite was the local slang (i.e. budgie smugglers for Speedos) and the bird calls. I definitely got a few good chuckles out of the excursion. It was also nice to see so much terrain. All of the "big ones" will get checked off your list (including the suburbs and Bondi and Manly Beaches). I also truly enjoyed the meal we had at the Iceberg on Bondi and the tea we had at another stop. My camera is chock full of all of the sights of Sydney, thanks to this tour. What's the downside, you might ask? For me, it was a lot of driving and not much actual time at any one place (It makes sense that you can either see all the sights or spend more time at fewer sites, but the latter is a bit more my style). I had also asked to be back by 5pm at my hotel to make a 6pm dinner without being rushed followed by a show at the Opera House. We left the Manly Ferry at 4:55 and needless to say, I didn't get back to my hotel until close to 6 and was late to dinner. I'm sure if I'd asked I could have been dropped off earlier, but there wasn't really a good time to do so.

Our bus wound it's way around the mountains to the caves, with many stunning vistas along the way. We met up at the large mouth to the cave opening. We saw several colorful birds around the outside of the cave and some wallabies too! Our guide gave us some information about the history of the caves and then our hike into the caves began. If you're not an experienced hiker, no need to worry. The tour through the cave is along a boardwalk with a hand rail for most of the areas where that there is a steep incline or rocky terrain. We entered in and wound our way through several passages and stops within the Lucas Cave - including the underground river, the cathedral chamber/cove where choirs come to sing, and a stop where we all turned off our phones or flashlights and got to experience pure darkness that drove many cave explorers mad back in the day! Our guide also showed us many rock formations that cave hikers used to find their way within the cave's many routes. In the choir cove, the guide turned out all the guide lights and showed us that they have a light show installed within the cave as well, which was very neat to see. We hiked our way out and around the beautiful Blue Lake, before heading back to Sydney. A quick day-long trip to see mountains, caves, and a little bit of wildlife!

#68 for 2021 The…read moreAboriginals were the first visitors to the Jenolan Caves using the healing pools found deep inside long before the Europeans discovered it in the 1840s. Dated to be about 340 million years old the Jenolan Caves are the most ancient open caves in the world spanning more than 25 miles multileveled with over 300 entrance points following the subterranean section of the Jenolan River. I am so interested in caves because they are like a secret world full of mystery, wonder and excitement. With 16 caves to explore, Jenolan offers all kinds of adventures for every different level of cave exploring for all ages young and old. The most popular cave is the Lucas cave. Since we were here for a few hours and could only choose 1 that was the unanimous vote by our group. The tour takes about 1.5 hours. Our tour group was large and the guide did a good job keeping everyone together to prevent straggling and further damage. The high lights for me is the underwater river, stalactites and stalagmites with their interesting names (I can't remember any of them now) and the brilliant colors. I was able to take some fantastic pictures and enjoyed it all. Parts of the hike can be difficult for those not in the best of health. However, I can say many of us were kind to wait for those back in the pack giving kind words of encouragement. Our guide was very informative providing interesting tid bits of information and answering all questions asked. She explained the geology of the formation and what the cave means to different groups of people. She also said the acoustics are so good, better than any where else in the world man made or natural. Some people have had events in the main chamber for celebration including weddings. For the heavy peek season it may be better to make reservations. We were able to get up there and pick a time slot when to go. You choose the cave, if it is open, and the time. Meet your guide at a particular location close to the entrance of the cave and begin your tour. This particular tour was about $35.00 Aussie. You may have to wait for a little while before your tour begins. This was a good time for us to get a bite to eat because the drive up is over an hour. Driving through many country roads was quite enjoyable actually. So green and cool with lots to see, stop and do. But I digress. If you didn't bring any food you have a few choices. Chisolm's Restaurant was closed for us. This was designed in 1871 for the wealthy land owners. If you want to dine like you in the bling here's your chance to bling out. If you just want a drink you can hang at Jeremiah's Bar & Lounge. This was closed to us too. Maybe it was too early in the day. Jeremiah is Jeremiah Wilson the first official Jenolan Cave guide considered a good looking, red haired Irish not just a cave explorer but a notorious ladies' man. I wonder if being a cave man has an impact on that kind of life style? What was open? Caves Cafe is where we were able to get small plates at a moderate prices. As a suggestion you might be better off bringing your own brown paper bag lunch. Save you money for some better eats in the towns close by. I was amazed to see the number of creatures about. A beggar red parrot. Sorry I had no food. A large swimming lizard trying to decide how threatening I would be. And a wombat crossing the road without any care in the world who everyone was or why they were taking pictures. I think he just wanted to get to the other side. He did allow me to take many pictures. So photogenic too. There are a few short hiking trails you could explore. Some have aggressive ascents. Check with park staff for weather conditions and health risks before beginning any hike. Part of our group tried to do this but turn back after winds got fierce. You could do what I did. Go up high enough to get a few down perspective shots of the surrounding are. Very picturesque actually. Visiting the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains is an absolute treasure. I would love to go back to explore other caves. Maybe in the pitch dark. Nah. Maybe not.
