Best tour of our trip

5.00This is the kind of tour people remember long after the experience.... Within the first few minutes, we knew it was going to be a great day. Within the first hour, we felt like we were on a road trip with our friends. From booking to pick up, from suggestions to surprises, this was a day like no other. Matt was absolutely stellar from beginning to end - and it is the one tour we kept talking about afterwards. From the ATV ride in the rain (sooo much fun!), to kangaroos and wallabies at the Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary to the many surprises Matt built into our day (don't want to give too much away), the day was phenomenal. We saw so much, and learned so much from Matt, that it was truly a highlight of our journey to Australia. We laughed and talked and walked and learned. Lunch at Avoca Beach was fabulous. We highly recommend Matt - and if we make it back to Australia, we'll definitely be booking another day with him.
Best tour ever

5.00There are not enough words to describe how great was this tour. Being a private tour, you can choose your sights and a time you spend at each of those. We had a Sydney city tour just the day before so this was the perfect opportunity to see more of the beautiful nature. Matt was great and he and he shared so many interesting insights in such an engaging way that we never feel bored. The stop at the wildlife park with all of the Australian wildlife was a blast, as we had a close encounter with koalas & kangaroos. It was a colder windy day but Matt had everything planned and brought wind jacket for us to use (he also had some chocolates & champagne stocked in the vehicle for us to enjoy). He also took a bunch of high-quality photos for us, with his camera (not a phone), and email those to us at the end of the day. You will not regret booking this tour as it is great way to see sights that you probably never see with a large group tour, and we cannot recommend Matt highly enough (he also have a great taste in music)
Unforgettable Sydney experience

5.00Matt was the best decision we made for our short but sweet Sydney experience! Our time was super limited but our day spent with Matt checked a lot of boxes plus more! He took us to places that were off the beaten path and gave us a locals view of Sydney. He was great with the kids and adults as well. He is also a great photographer who shared all of his pictures with us at the end of the day. Couldn’t recommend him more!! Thanks Matt!
Perfect day

It was our first time taking part in a tour like that, and Matt really gave us a unique experience, with everything planned to the last detail, sharing context, stories, and insights that made the whole experience much richer.

5.00Absolutely amazing! Matt is an expert at Australian wildlife the bush and beaches. We saw kangaroos wallabees koalas birds flying fox bats emus and lizards. Our tour of the national park and trails was outstanding and Matt's knowledge of the trees bushes birds etc was out of this world. He is not only a excellent down to earth tour guide but a genuine good guy with a great sense of humor. To book with Matt is time and money we'll spent and will definitely book with him on future trips . You will not be disappointed and I can tell you it will be your best day in the area. Thanks Matt and see you next time!

5.00Matt is a knowledgeable and exceptional guide. This tour is unlike anything we ever expected and the sights and experiences he took us to have created truly special memories. We centered our tour around around nature and the wildlife and it was truly one of a kind and well worth the money and time spent. Matt is also a very friendly and kind person and he truly kept us engaged and happy from start to finish. Please book this tour way in advance as he books up quickly and the reason being is that there no other tour as unique and memorable as this one. Thank you Matt for a truly memorable and exciting experience.
A Private Tour You Will Remember

5.00My wife and I have experienced many guided tours over the years, and I can confidently say that the personalized tour Matt provided was truly exceptional. If you are looking to explore Sydney beyond the typical tourist spots, Matt is the perfect guide. His deep local knowledge and passion for the area made for a unique and memorable experience. From sampling native flora and learning about local trees, to an up-close koala and kangaroo encounter, stunning beach locations, and even witnessing trees filled with bats, every part of the tour was thoughtfully curated. The mid-day had a fantastic meal by the beach. Matt is personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend reaching out to him if you are considering a private, customized tour of Sydney.
Amazing Tour!

5.00I can’t recommend this tour enough! We had an incredible time with Matt. He was super knowledgeable, kind, and just a fun person to get to know. We had a great time at all of the stops. The wildlife portions were a blast, and we got to see some amazing local sights that had no other tourists anywhere. 11/10 tour!
