Who we are

A small Sydney crew, obsessed with a good day out

Peak Tours started with a simple frustration: most day tours felt like a checklist read off a clipboard. We do it the other way around — small groups, guides who actually live here, and days designed so the best moments have room to breathe.

Beautiful experience

Bruce was my tour guide. He was amazing and did a fantastic job explaining all about the Blue Mountains, the Three Sisters, and Katoomba Falls. He is also very sociable, punctual and helped with photos. Would recommend him again.

Bruce was our guide and he was wonderful!! The weather was wonderful and we got to see so many things. We even saw a wild wallaby on the way out from one of our scenic stops.

Common questions

Where do the tours start?

All tours pick up from central Sydney. The Blue Mountains and Northern Beaches tours collect from four CBD points, none more than a short walk from the city centre. Full details are on each tour page and your confirmation email.

Do tours run if it rains?

Yes — our tours run rain or shine. Sydney weather moves fast and the lookouts are often best after a shower. We'll only ever cancel for genuinely unsafe conditions, in which case you can reschedule or get a full refund.

What's your cancellation policy?

Free changes or cancellations up to 24 hours before a public tour. Private and large-group bookings have their own terms. See our Terms & Conditions for the full detail.

Are the tours suitable for kids and older guests?

Mostly yes. The Blue Mountains and Northern Beaches involve some walking on natural tracks and steps, but nothing strenuous. Tell us about anyone in your group and we'll advise honestly.
