Wonderful Tour of Ku-ring-gai! - My husband and I spent our first full day in Sydney with Mike who took us on a private tour focused mostly on the Ku-ring-gai National Park. It was a great start to our 25th wedding anniversary trip, enjoying a beautiful, sunny day out in nature and learning more about the Aboriginal sites located within the park. On the way to and from the park, Mike stopped at various scenic vistas/beaches and told us more about the areas we were visiting. Easy and relaxing pace to the day and we even made a feathered friend at tea and lunch time. Prior to the tour, we interacted with Mike exclusively by email in which he was always prompt to respond. It was easy to customize the tour to focus on the items we were more interested. Top notch service! Highly recommend!

Northern Beaches Tour - Michael provided an excellent tour of the Northern Beaches, showing our group many wonderful sites that were out of the way. He demonstrated a great knowledge of the history and background of the whole northern region and had morning tea and lunch arranged for our group. A most enjoyable tour, thanks Michael.

Big Fraud - Omg, I took this trip today. I went with my Mom , it was her birthday gift. This trip was a fraud not a disappointment.Mike the tour guide for this trip didn't follow anything mentioned in itinerary.Missed fews beaches where he was support to stop for bush walk and stopped at the different beach (Palm beach rather than Fresh water for swim) then whats mentioned in the tour itinerary Even Lunch was different , he took us to a local cafe where flies were around food (which has upset my stomach and my Mother is complaining too ),instead of taking us for lunch at palm beach as mentioned in tour itinerary. Not sure why he discriminated and treated us like this!!
