Reviewed 1st January 2019 “Perfect day out to the Blue Mountains ”
Rebecca was great about answering my emails as we were setting up our trip. James was the perfect guide. He was waiting for us when we got off the ship and took us to the Blue Mountains. He tailored our day to our needs perfectly. We wanted to stay away from the tourist areas and crowds. He took us to several lookouts where we were the only ones there. We wanted to see some Kangaroos in the wild so he took us back into an out of the way area and we saw about a dozen there. He was very knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife and helped me add a number of birds to my life list. We had a great day out with James and recommend him highly.
Reviewed 30th November 2018 “Ask for Greg”
We had 3 couples touring the Blue Mountains in Sydney and we hired Greg with Cloud 9 to take us. He took us to see the koalas & kangaroos as well as some of the absolute best places in the Blue Mountains. Great scenery, great narration & a safe, comfy ride. Great decision on our part. Thanks Greg for coming out on a Sunday!! You're the best!!
