      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great day out to the Blue Mountqins with Rocky.  Very engaging tour guide, easy pick up from our hotel and a well planned itinerary.  We had pretty poor weather on the day of the tour and Rocky re planned the order of activities to make sure we’d get the best views at the 3 sisters.  Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend if you were looking for a day trip to the blue mountains
