What our clients say about our Blue Mountains Private Tours…..
Reviewed 2 weeks ago "Fantastic Blue Mountains Tour!"
I was in Sydney for work for a limited time, and my 16-year-old son accompanied me so we could sight-see. Since my son loves to hike, I really wanted to add a visit to the Blue Mountains. James did a FANTASTIC job tailoring our day to our interests. He took us on some great hikes, to some out-of-the-way lookouts, to a spot where we could see a huge number of kangaroos in their natural habitat lounging in the sun, and a fantastic spot for lunch, and we were away from the typical tourist areas just as we asked. James was also very flexible with our pick-up in Coogee but drop-off in the CBD at the height of rush hour. Perhaps most importantly, James was really engaging, especially for my son who is quite shy. I HIGHLY recommend Cloud 9 tours; we had a great experience for a really reasonable price for a personal, two-person tour.

James is an absolutely fantastic host. He is punctual, polite and knowledgeable. If you want to avoid the crowds is this the way to see the Blue Mt. James gives you a tailor-made tour according to your wishes or his recommendations (Which I strongly suggest you'll follow). All with 1st class service. I'm totally sure that James made the Blue Mountains a lot more impressive than any coach-tour would be able to do. Including lunch in a cozy peaceful location. He made this tour a day to remember, and there is no doubt in my mind that I'll choose his company again. And even his prices are fair :)
