Anyone have any recent recommendations of the best tour to take on a day trip from Sydney? There will be 3 of us, including my 17-year old daughter.

Any recommendations of specific tours or tour companies would be awesome, especially considering we're heading out during the Sydney winter.

We can't wait -- appreciate any insights!

Thanks,

FWIW, June "winter" in Sidney is essentially the same as June "summer" in Seattle. In other words, temp should be in the 60-70 range. As for organized tours, look at Boutique Tours; last week we did their Hunter Valley Wine tour & thought it was very good. Also, as a cheaper alternative to the Blue Mtns, you could go by rail to Katoomba, then do the hop-on, hop-off bus. although you probably won't get much of a guided narrative.
