Disappointing tour, scenery beautiful

1.00Was expecting historic & scenic narration about the area. Instead got drivers family stories. Driver made us nervous on how navigated roads & easily distracted, such as trying to put in seatbelt while driving on curvy road. Too much time in vehicle and not enough time outside. Driver didn’t really set expectations of your such as stopping at a coffee shop soon after your started & not explaining that this was our only food stop. We all kept picking in van waiting for some additional stops or interest. There wasn’t a clear plan on what we would do. It was just a long drive. Scenery beautiful. Wish we did puffin island trip instead.
Our group of 6 said it was the best tour! Highly recommended.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our tour with David, a knowledgeable and personable guide who grew up in the Sydney and Cabot Trail area. Our group of six was joined by a friendly couple, making a comfortable group of eight in an air-conditioned van. Everyone in our group agreed it was the best tour of our trip! David met us right outside the cruise terminal (we were sailing with Holland America) and was ready to go as soon as we disembarked. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating insights about each location and even knew the best spots for clean restroom breaks—just let him know in advance. The company was also very mindful of cruise schedules, ensuring we returned with plenty of time before the ship’s departure. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
Best excursion in Sydney

5.00Easy to find and well marked. Tour guide Tom was an excellent driver and very personable. We had lots of stops along the way to take plenty of photos! Tom waited almost an hour due to a cruise ship delay and had us back in plenty of time! A+ experience.
