Leon is THE BEST guide! You must do this tour and you must request Leon! I won't give away all of his surprises and secrets along the way, but he will show you all of the Blue Mountains especially the nooks and crannies that you will never find on your own. 10/10

Make sure you call them the morning of your tour before you head up or you may find yourself driving over an hour and a half for nothing. Drove from Bondi up to the meeting point, thought they might be running late, called to make sure we were at the right place only to be told the tour was cancelled. Operator claims an email was sent, none was received. No contact by phone was made either - except when I called them. Now I guess I spend some more time figuring out how I get a refund.

What a way to explore the picturesque landscape of the blue mountains, highly recommend Paul as he was very informative. A very unique experience to explore the beauty of the area.

We were greeted by Paul at 8.30am with a warm Aussie smile. We didn’t know what to expect on this trip as Paul would figure out what we would like to do and drive us to his favourite local look out spots. They didn’t disappoint. We were taken to the Butter box point - for a great bush walk with fabulous views. The flora, fauna and rock formations were an insight into the world pre animal! Wow we were mesmerised by its sheer scale. Point piltcher - lunch was included and we grabbed a drink and sandwich from the local deli. Headed to a lookout point to enjoy a spot of lunch. Coachwood glen rainforest - we wanted to see the tree ferns and there were a-lot to see. A carpet of beautiful plants. Dunphies camp ground megalong valley - kangaroos and Echidna ant eater . We had a brilliant time andcweee looked after all day.

Paul was on time and totally organized! He gave us an experience that we would not have gotten any other way! Rocks, flowers, birds, history, geography and current events all rolled into one fantastic adventure! Paul assessed what we wanted to do and how to best do it! Full day of fun and yet totally relaxed!

Outstanding day trip in the Blue Mountains. Our driver, Paul, brings a wealth of local knowledge to the trip. He customizes the journey to match the passengers, and nailed it.

Fantastic experience & a real highlight for our holiday. It was great to get of the beaten track a bit and escape the hustle and bustle of the more visited tourist areas. Paul was a fantastic guide, and is very passionate with a great knowledge of the area. He was a delight to spend the day with. Would totally recommend this trip as a must do!

Paul and Stef are a terrific team. They brought us to areas, such as the Lost City, which are unavailable to many tours because a 4WD is needed to access these remote areas. I felt safe climbing in places I might have avoided if not for the guidance of Paul and Stef. And my first 4WD experience was GREAT! I can't recommend this tour enough if you wish to have a unique and unforgettable experience in the Blue Mountains.

Paul was an excellent guide who has a great passion with his work and has a lot of knowledge about the area and the nature surrounded. To be honest I'm not an outdoor person and never be adventurous but he adjusted our level straight away and his skillful driving made us very comfortable even on off roads. If you are adventurous he is also a person who can make you experience amazing things. I found his tour online and we couldn't stop being grateful to find his tour. We never expected our mini holiday this much. He made our trip unforgettable. His tour is absolutely exceptional!

GUIDED 4WD ADVENTURE TOUR My husband and I cannot recommend this tour enough. We got to see so many unique spots that we otherwise would never be able to get to on our own. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and he made sure we had a fantastic time. We were collected from our hotel and headed to a beautiful bakery where we chose our sandwiches and drinks for lunch. These were packed into the esky at the back of the Landrover. Then we set off. What a journey! The most inhospitable terrain was no problem – I was glad I was sitting in the back and not driving- Paul wasn’t fazed by anything. He navigated through whatever lay ahead – water, over rocks, down deeply scarred tracks which had been washed away by rains – not even roads in some places! Such skill from Paul, great fun to be a passenger! Crazy video to watch later! We loved getting to the plateau overlooking the rocky pagoda-like structures. Such an amazing place to be. After retracing our steps, we then headed towards the Wollemi National Park through a tunnel which used to have trains going through. We stopped for lunch on the other side of this, near to pagoda rock formations – they were lining the roadway. Then we set off for the Glow Worm Tunnels in the Wiradjuri area of the Wolgan Valley. There was a short walk from the car park to an information board showing the route to the tunnel. Once we were inside, Paul told us to turn off the torches. At first, nothing could be seen. Once our eyes had become accustomed to the darkness, tiny lights appeared all over the walls and ceiling – looking like a tiny Christmas Village! An amazing spectacle to witness. We headed back towards Katoomba after this. Stopping at Blacktown to see the Wind eroded Cave and Anvil Rock. We would never have found this area on our own. Well worth a visit and not advertised anywhere on the tourist information leaflets or maps. Thank you Paul for taking us to the most amazing sights during our day with you. Thank you for sending us the photos too - they were incredible.

Was a great experience, got to see parts of the mountains that could only dream of . Paul was an excellent guide & very knowledgeable, 10 out of 10

Thank you Paul I had such a great afternoon I didn't book this, I was walking by and saw the truck and my nosey inquisitive nature made me stop and ask Paul what it was all about. After telling me it was a tour to spots you may otherwise not get to see and that there was 1 space left.... I hopped on. And boy am I glad I'm a nosey inquisitive person as it was an amazing afternoon with some totally jaw dropping views. Very knowledgeable, super friendly and all round interesting guy. I would 100% recommend this to ANYONE AND EVERYONE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend this tour. Paul and Steph went above and beyond. Informative yet easy-going and accommodating. This tour was the highlight of our five days in the Blue Mountains. Being in the truck itself was fun and the scenery and visited spots spectacular. Thank you Beyond the Blacktop for a memorable evening.

traveling in the Perentie with my husband who has followed this type of vehicle for many years as well as seeing the Blue mountains with local guide, Paul, who has a great knowledge of this beautiful area. Could not have had a better day, with snow & ice on ground,cold wind but bright blue skies.Paul was the best person to have around with his great sense of humour, all round information and care. We could not say enough about our day of adventure with the Perentie and Paul.This adventure was a present from our daughter & husband for christmas because of the vehicle. Peter and Susan Howe

A great day out to special locations without other tourists. The kids faces were priceless when they saw the truck and what we were doing, Fresh air and the time went quite quickly, Breathtaking views and locations
