Traveler Reviews

Glen suggested an early start to the day which proved to be very good since we were the first ones to arrive at the Featherdale Wildlife Park where we spent 90 minutes. He was an excellent driver and gave very good commentary on our trip to the Blue Mountains, stopping at spectacular lookouts where often we were the only ones there. Glen also stopped at a "secret place" in Leura for us to have lunch, again avoiding the crowds. If you want a private tour of the Blue Mountains we would highly recommend using Glen's tour service.

We had a great day with Glenn. I loved having the flexibility to modify our plans as the day went by. Glenn is very knowledgeable and patiently answered all of my questions (and as a first time visitor to Australia there were a lot of them).

As active walkers, we planned an appropriate day. It started at the Featherdale Wildlife Park where we spent an hour in close proximity to a wide selection of indigenous wildlife. Not on my original plan but not to be missed if you have an interest in birds and animals. We then spent the morning at a cloudy Wentworth Falls. After a hillside tramp we plunged down into the canyon for a great view from below. Note steep steps with a lung-busting climb back up. After lunch in Leura, we visited the area around the Three Sisters, again with hillside walks taking in great views. The finale was a trip down the Paramatta River to Circular Quay that even a spot of rain couldn’t spoil. To summarise, the day was superbly planned by Glenn who took into account our requests and delivered an in-depth knowledge of the wildlife, geology, geography and history of the area whilst taking us to the best viewpoints. What a great day - thanks.

Glenn was really excellent and ensured we had a super day - I would not hesitate to recommend him and also the brilliant Blue Mts to anyone
