Amazing Tour and Mike is an Awesome Tour Guide. - Bula vinaka, Kia ora, we really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Mike is an awesome tour guide, has so much knowledge of all the areas, and is so easy to chat with. We were looking forward to taking a few pix of Palm Beach /Summer Bay (yes Home & Away fans😊) and it was such a cool surprise that they were filming a couple of scenes when we got there. Was super exciting to get a photo with John Palmer (Shane Withington) then when leaving Mike spotted Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) and we got a pic taken with him too. Made our day 😊. Vinaka vakalevu (thankyou very much) Mike for the amazing tour.

Beautiful bays and life stories - Communicating with Mike before the trip was easy; he picked us up on time. Mike was full of knowledge and stories that could not be found in books and was happy to share them. Mike accompanied the trip with continuous guidance and explanations; it was always clear where we would get to and where we were. The route was filled with amazing views of bays and fascinating places and stories. I especially loved the Bible plant garden and the aboriginal engravings that Mike showed us. I highly recommend taking this trip.

Scenic National Park and beautiful northern beaches - We spent an enjoyable and fairly relaxed day going to the national park and the northern beaches. Mike was very knowledgeable about the place and its history. We stopped for a mid morning tea break at a picnic spot and watched a turkey wrestle with a coffee cup before heading to the National park lookout point. The beaches were quite lovely but since it was a slightly rainy day we could not stop at a few of them. All in all a good day tour!

What to do after you've seen the usual sights. - Very enjoyable day tour away from the usual. Mike had good local knowledge. Pick up was on time at our hotel and the tour a good mix of the North Shore area, the bush in the Park and the many beaches along the coast . Morning tea break in the Park at a picnic spot with a chance to wander among the plants and local birdlife was included and we had a meal stop at a small local RSL club before continuing along the Northern Beaches and view points. Finally returning to Circular Quay by a Manly Ferry. A day made even better by the personal attention of our guide.

An Enjoyable Day with Stunning Vistas - We had a gorgeous day for exploring the Northern Beaches and Ku Ring Gai Chase national park. Mike took us to some stunning spots, we saw incredible houses, and we had the opportunity to take beautiful pictures! Our tea in a park was shared with a couple of friendly brush turkeys! The bus was comfortable and we stopped at a fun little club for lunch, where they even had an aviary filled with native birds. Finally, we wanted to do a little shopping on the way home, so Mike dropped us off on the Corso in Manly so we could walk from there to the ferry. Overall, a really enjoyable day!
