When visiting Sydney a private day tour to the Blue Mountains is a must. The Greater Blue Mountains Area consists of not only just one national park, but eight parks all joined together comprising of over 10,000 square kilometres so it makes for a great day trip from Sydney.

Simply put the Blue Mountains a massive landscape. Seeing all of it in one day is impossible and something you would need weeks and weeks for. Personalised Sydney Tours do offer two day Blue Mountains tours for extra touring of areas away from the touristy areas.

The beauty about the Blue Mountains is that it’s within easy reach of Sydney and that there’s something for everyone; the daring and adventurous, nature and wildlife lovers, families with children and the traveler wanting a good representation of the national park with a few lookouts, waterfalls and easy walks.
