What an amazing time in the greater Sydney area!

Published on Feb, 2025

Our family of 6 adults had a fantastic time with our guide Matt. He hit all the right notes for what we wanted to see. Happily pivoted when things came up the crew wanted to see! We visited a wonderful nature facility with caring staff. So much up close and personal interaction (yet safe for the critters) with koalas, kangaroos and other fluffy creatures. Memories for a lifetime and lots of great photos! Thanks Matt for the great shots! Matt made sure we all made the most of our short layover in Sydney and he was so easy going with our crazy family. It’s hard to fit so much into a short time and make everyone happy, but Matt surely made it happen for us all. We would highly recommend this tour. Matt’s expertise and overall knowledge and great sense of humor makes this an easy recommendation for anyone looking to get a local’s experience of this beautiful area. Thanks mate!

Highly recommended

Unforgettable experience!!!! The smiles on my kids faces as they petted a koala and kangaroo were priceless! Matt was fantastic and did such a good at catering to everyone in the group, both young and old. We had such an incredible experience and I would 100% recommend.

Could not of had a better experience than we did with Matt. We feel blessed to have had such a great day and experience Australia with someone who has spent their life here and has a great passion for the land.

An unforgettable experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Matt, company proprietor and guide exceeded all my expectations: he was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and funny! From field botany, zoology, geology, history to current events, the discussions were extensive and illuminating. He delivered on just about everything the tour features described. He was sensitive to individual needs and idiosyncracies. Overall, an experience not to be missed!
