Highlight of our time in Sydney - We opted for the hike to Eagle Rock with Greg. The scenery was breathtaking, and Greg was knowledgeable about various things (including birds and flora) we saw. He also knew the best locations off the trail to stop to see sites, such as interesting rock formations or colorations, waterfalls, etc. Greg also told us to be looking for humpback whales as they should be starting their northward migration soon. We originally saw 2-3 working their way north. Later there were 4-5 that were doing fin slaps, breaches, and tail slaps repeatedly--the whales put on an excellent show! Greg was good about giving us time to "soak in" the scenery along the way, and you could tell he also personally enjoys going to the various spots (even though he has probably seen it many times before). With this being a private tour (just the 2 of us plus Greg), we were able to set a pace and length that worked for us as well as provide input on what to include in the day based on our interests (e.g., we opted to not go to the Symbio Wildlife Park so that we could focus on various scenic spots such as Bald Hill, Sea Cliff Bridge, etc.). We also enjoyed the lunch that Greg provided (very well equipped and prepared--much better than we do for ourselves when out hiking!). This tour was definitely a highlight of our time in Sydney! Without Greg's tour, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the sights in the Royal National Park.

Do this trip vs the Blue Mountain tours- you won’t be disappointed! - Greg was very punctual picking us up & extremely knowledgeable about the park and it’s surroundings, This not an easy hike and can be quite slippery over rocks and wet areas of the trail but Greg was very patient throughout the hike. Hand made much was delicious after the hike. He timed the wildlife visit at feeding time and were treated to many animals very active and easily visible. This wasn’t a zoo but more like a wildlife sanctuary and the staff deeply cares for the animals well being. Great views of the rugged Australian coast, terrific exercise, nice lunch, getting to see local wildlife up close and personal. Worth the long day & the hiking experience that will be even more special once whale sighting season begins! Mahalo Greg! 🤙🏼We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Super - Greg communicated well from early on, he asked for my children’s ages to see if car seats were needed and took notes of food allergies. He also accommodated our request to make some changes to the itinerary last minute. The guided hiking tour was great, he made sure everyone was on track and took breaks as needed. The picnic lunch we had in the park was lovely. My son forgot his phone on Greg’s car at the end of the tour and he went out of his way to bring that back even though he was also looking for his backpack left behind. We appreciated having Greg as our guide and would definitely recommend him for others.

A wonderful tour with Greg! - We had a great time on our tour hiking with our very informative guide, Greg. We were treated to great views with a bit of wind and managed to see all the park had to offer. I can't recommend this tour enough and if your're asked to adventure a bit, give it a shot! You never know what you'll stumble on with Greg!

a beautiful day centered around Royal National Park and then Manly Island. - The magnificent beauty of the coast line at Royal National Park. Greg of Sydney Nimble Tours was a great host and adapted the tour to meet our requests along with his additional suggestions.

Nimble Tour review - My two days with Greg were amazing and fun. As a solo traveler and non driver getting off the beaten track is either impossible or too time consuming using public transport. I provided Greg with a list of everything I wanted to do and see and got to do everything on my list and more. He took specific photos for me, did the Wedding Cake Rock walk at my pace which is pretty slow due to an injury, went swimming with me and located my obscure attractions. He is informative, organized, prepared, a great conversationalist, drives carefully, selects and prepares delicious food, and an all round lovely guy. I highly recommend Nimble Tours to anyone that wants a bespoke tour or hates tour groups.

Highly recommend for hikers - Hiking in the Royal National Park was an unforgettable experience. Lovely view of the ocean from the coastal track.
