• Informative Aboriginal Tour, with Blue Mountains from a lookout

  Giving this tour four stars because while parts of the experience were very good, the Tripadvisor description and itinerary are a bit misleading and didn’t match what we expected. I was traveling with my two parents and booked this tour expecting a Blue Mountains scenic experience combined with Aboriginal cultural elements. Instead, this is a full Aboriginal cultural walking tour inside the Blue Mountains National Park, which is free entry to the public. There are no scenic trams, gondolas, or rides included, despite the tour description making it sound like those iconic Blue Mountains experiences would be part of the day. You get to see the Blue Mountains, Three Sisters and Falls from lookout points inside the national park. We spent several hours with one guide walking through the national park while learning about Aboriginal culture, stories, and the land. While this was informative and meaningful, it was not the “Blue Mountains experience” we believed we were booking based on the listing. Please note very clearly: this is a walking tour only and does not include the scenic railway, skyway, or cable cars. That said, Menashe, our driver, was excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional. All meals were provided, which we appreciated, and we did genuinely learn a lot about Aboriginal culture. The coffee stop in the morning and lunch stop to get some pies was also amazing. Unfortunately, we only realized much later that the scenic rides were not part of the tour, so we tried to make the most of the experience once we understood what the day actually was. We ended the day at the zoo, but it was extremely crowded due to peak holiday season. Because of the long lines, we didn’t have time to meet the koalas, which was disappointing. While we understand this was due to holiday crowds, it did impact the overall experience. My recommendation to future travelers: if you’re unsure what this tour includes, ask Menashe ahead of time for clarification so expectations are aligned. If you’re specifically looking for scenic trams and classic Blue Mountains attractions, this may not be the right fit. If you’re interested in an Aboriginal cultural walking experience, you may enjoy it more than we did. Overall, we had a good day and learned a lot, but we would be more careful with how we book in the future based on descriptions — especially during peak season.

  I had an amazing experience with Traveligo. From the very beginning, their team was extremely professional, helpful, and well-organized. Every detail of my trip was perfectly planned, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. The booking process was easy, the communication was clear, and the staff was always ready to assist with any questions or special requests. The accommodations and travel arrangements were exactly as promised, and everything was delivered on time. What truly impressed me was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They genuinely care about their travelers and go the extra mile to ensure a comfortable and memorable experience.

  This truly was the most amazing tour and much more than I imagined. I would be lying if I didn’t say I had high hopes, but Menashe and our aboriginal guide exceeded what I thought was possible. They took great care to adjust the original tour to accommodate for the weather enhancing our experience. As a family of six the pace and locations were perfect. Each stop came with a breath taking takeaway for each kid in their own unique way. Finishing the trip with great pies and better conversation, it was a perfect authentic Australian experience. This tour filled my heart and inspired my whole family. I couldn’t be more grateful and honored to learn so much about the native culture. Thank you so much!

• Absolutely Unforgettable – A Deeply Enriching Experience!

  This tour exceeded every expectation and became the highlight of our time in Australia! From the moment we were picked up in Sydney, our driver was incredibly informative, offering rich insight into the history, culture, and daily life of both Sydney and its surrounding areas. The journey itself was smooth, scenic, and filled with interesting commentary that set the tone for what was to come. But the real magic began when we arrived in the Blue Mountains. We were welcomed by our Aboriginal guide, whose knowledge, warmth, and passion brought the landscape to life in a way that was deeply moving. Rather than a typical tourist walk, this was a cultural immersion – a rare opportunity to learn firsthand about Aboriginal traditions, relationships with the land, native plants and their uses, bird calls, and ancient stories tied to the region. Walking through the breathtaking natural beauty of the Blue Mountains while learning about its significance through an Indigenous lens was unlike anything we’ve ever done. It gave us a much deeper appreciation for the land and its traditional custodians. This wasn’t just a tour – it was an educational and spiritual journey. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to go beyond sightseeing and truly connect with Australia’s history, people, and natural wonders. A must-do experience!

  My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring the rainforest, eating pies, and learning about the local Aboriginal culture. We highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a more meaningful and intimate Blue Mountains experience.

  Menashe and Yamandira were an excellent pair to spend the day with. Menashe customized the tour for our family, which enabled my two kids, 3yo and 6yo, to spend the morning at Featherdale Wildlife Sanctuary feeding wallabies and kangaroos while their energy was still up. They had a great time seeing all of the iconic Australian animals before we moved on to meet up with Yamandira at Leura to visit the Three Sisters. Yamandira immediately jumped into teaching us about native plants and lore. He then gave us an option as to how we wanted to experience the Three Sisters; we opted for the harder hike and didn't regret it! Don't choose that option if you have mobility issues but all of us were able to handle it just fine. we saw spectacular views and visited a small waterfall where Yamandira demonstrated different mineral pigments used by aboriginal people. The kids got a kick out of that part! The tour finished up with lunch at a local meat pie shop which was absolutely delicious (Mountain High Pies in Wentworth Falls), fantastic locally owned choice, before we headed back to Sydney. Overall we had a great time and I would highly recommend!

• Great Day with a taste of the Blue Mountains and Maple the Kangaroo

  I went with my 8-year-old daughter. Both of us are experienced travelers with reasonable fitness and no dietary restrictions. This was the finale on our first trip to Australia and our only time spent out of Sydney proper. Both of us loved the full day, are very happy we went and would recommend. Our group was 9 tourists, plus tour leader Lloyd, and tour leader Yamandiira joining us for the time in the Blue Mountains proper. My daughter was the only child on board. We went on Good Friday - part of local school break and a 4-day weekend for everyone - so crowds and traffic and other wrenches were significant possibilities. ---------- The Great: - Lloyd arrived exactly on schedule for pickup and kept things moving throughout the day, adjusting things on the fly as needed. - The early start meant when we arrived at the morning destinations, they were not crowded despite the holiday weekend. Significantly more crowds arrived as we departed. As we departed, I could see that had we arrived later, I would not have enjoyed the feeling as much - it would have gone from calm to a bit frustrating as crowds arrived. - The vehicle was comfortable and sized to the group. - The express breakfast/snack (scones and hot beverage) was tasty. Lunch, despite being adjusted last-minute, was also tasty and was filling. In both cases, the kid found something she wanted to eat/drink. As noted, I did supplement her with snacks (which I expect to do since she's a kid). - Yamandira made the rainforest walk significantly more meaningful - pointing out different plants and how they can be/were/are used in daily life, whether for eating or aromatics or brushing hair. He pointed out animals and evidence of animals, showed painting with clay, and even had some bird seed at the end to feed the cockatoos while we waited a few minutes for the rest of our group to rejoin. - We did feed and pet a kangaroo in the afternoon; never thought it would be quite that soft but Maple the kangaroo was very sweet. - The weather was completely in our favor! Not within anyone's control, but definitely added to the enjoyment. The views were amazing. ---------- The Imperfect: - Pickup time was assigned the night before. They adjusted pickups to make it as easy/comfortable as possible (we were not staying at one of the pre-defined hotels but they picked us up from our doorstep anyway). However, I was not completely sure the ballpark start time (it ended up being around 6:30am) until I was in the hotel room for the night - which meant I had some snacks for the kid for the day but she didn't have a real breakfast (hotel breakfast started at 7am that day because of the holiday, but the kitchen let me grab a couple fresh pastries as we walked out - it was fine but not particularly nutritious/good for a long day). Knowing the ballpark start time earlier, I would have stocked up on a couple additional snacks. - I am unsure why we visited Sydney Zoo instead of the Wildlife Park; for all I know it's because it's way better; the fact of that lingering question is a slight drawback. I haven't been to the Wildlife Park, so I'm not sure how they compare and contrast. We did have an experience (kangaroo feeding), and the Zoo was nice. I believe they switch between the two locations, but not sure why or when. - Our initial lunch stop was a restaurant that is open every day, including Easter and Christmas ... but not Good Friday. Lloyd handled it well, finding an alternative place that was tasty - but we were hungry and this added a bit of time (extending our return, not cutting anything short). This shouldn't be a problem for at least a year! - The drive to the Blue Mountains from Sydney takes about 1.5-2 hours. Not within anyone's control, but it does eat into part of the day when considering day trips.
