Brilliant. Unforgettable. Don't miss this. - One of my best experiences ever. So much wild beauty here that you'd fly right over without even knowing it's there, if you didn't get to journey with someone local and Indigenous, like Paul. He made us feel right at home, answering questions, telling stories and giving us space to absorb the majesty and exquisite beauty of the places he took us. He knows these places so well. He's modest and friendly. His relaxed, easy-going way is exactly what you want in a guide. Our party included a couple of older people who were not great walkers. Paul had no problem accommodating our different abilities, as well as the different cultural and language abilities within our group. He's kind. We liked being picked up and driven around. We liked being able to stay as long as we wanted to take photos or to rest and make a memory. We felt safe, well cared for and highly privileged to go to places most travellers to Sydney (and even many locals) never experience. Highly recommended. Maybe the best thing to do I can imagine for any visitor to Sydney.

Private tour - My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Paul today. He took us through the Royal National Park and Symbio Wildlife Park. Paul was an excellent guide and driver and showed us unique spots along the way. We hiked a bit of the coastal trail which was amazing and gorgeous. The animals at the wildlife park were adorable and if you love native Australian animals this is a must!!! Great combination of activities. Great guide, highly recommend especially if you want a private/more personalized tur experience.

Beautiful views and fun interactons with wildlife! - We had a great experience with Paul as our guide. He was kind and knowledgeable and flexible. Royal National Park is a beautiful place! The views from the cliffs were gorgeous and we saw numerous humpback whales. We loved seeing the koalas and feeding the kangaroos at Symbio Wildlife Park. Paul has a great sense of humor and my husband and I enjoyed bantering with him. We highly recommend this tour with Paul!

A wonderful experience viewing nature and wildlife near Sydney, Australia ! - This was our first visit to Sydney and we were looking for a way to see more of nature and wildlife so I booked this private tour with Paul. He was a superb guide! He was kind and knowledgeable and showed us all around the beautiful Royal National Park! He knew the names of the birds and plants that I asked him about. He has a great sense of humor and my husband and I enjoyed bantering with him! We also loved seeing the koalas and feeding the kangaroos at Symbio Wildlife Park. We had a wonderful day and highly recommend Paul as a guide!

A #10 day! - We had an amazing tour with Paul. Royal National Park was superb, great hike to Wedding Cake Rock, gorgeous scenery. Beautiful beaches. Even saw a wild echidna digging for ants! Symbio wildlife park was also fun, interacting with kangaroos and seeing the other native Australian animals. Paul was so easy to communicate with as far as customizing our tour. He was fun to be with, very knowledgeable and great driver. If we could give 10 stars, we would.

Best tour and best day ever! - Paul was the absolute best! So fun and knowledgeable. He catered to our every need, took us on an unbelievably beautiful and fun hike. Later we went to a great lunch followed by a great time at the wildlife zoo. Paul did a private tour for us, picked us up at our hotel, was so fun and funny. I don’t have enough amazing things to say. We had the best day! Thank you!

Tour of the Royal National Park - Had an amazing coastal adventure with the expert guidance of Paul. We started at Bundeena and walked through to Wattamolla. Paul showed us many wonderful sights. I loved the cliff top views and rugged coastline. Paul was able to point out the flora and fauna which were in abundance, absolutely beautiful. Especially liked the Little Marely beach, Wattamolla Dam and the lagoon. We even had a swim in the Dam, so exhilarating. I would highly recommend using Paul as your guide. Paul is a really friendly easy-going guy who has a deep connection to the country and is very knowledgeable of the area. We had so much fun!

Great day out! - We had a great day exploring the national park with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had. We saw so much of what the area had to offer but didn't feel rushed at all the entire day. We particularly enjoyed feeding the kangaroos. It was a blast and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in seeing some of the natural beauty Australia has to offer.

Wish I could give more - Visited the Royal national park in hopes of seeing something different to the normal crowded spots. If you are looking for the same the look no further, Paul was so so friendly and made this experience so much better than we thought it could’ve been, he had so much knowledge and took us to some beautiful spots. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I absolutely would. Definitely great for anyone travelling or who isn’t familiar with the area!
