    The tour itself is pretty average: while the places we visited were amazing, the guide was not very informative. She did not give us any information and was only driving. The small bus was very uncomfortable. The timing of the activities felt very rushed and not well planned, as we were given a long time for lunch (which was quite unnecessary) and a very limited amount of time for the actual activities such as the hike. Overall, if you do not want to rent a car, it is a nice way to see some beautiful places not too far from Sydney, but the service and the timing of the activities could definitely be improved.

    Our guide was amazing on this tour. Aurelio gave us plenty of time and great tips for each portion of the tour. I highly recommend this itinerary for anyone that wants to try something unique outside of the Sydney metro area.

  • Beautiful places, service improveable

    I was expecting a guided tour but it was actually a transfer service from one point to another because no historical-naturalistic explanations were given about the places visited. The minibus was quite uncomfortable, with little legroom between the seats and small windows. We were offered a bottle of water each which I greatly appreciated. The places visited are beautiful. The sandboarding experience is very nice and suitable for everyone. The view from Mount Tamboree is among the most beautiful in the world! I wish I had more time, though. Instead of leaving an hour for lunch at the village, it would be advisable to ask customers to bring packed lunches and accompany them directly to the beginning of the climb to the mountain. I also believe that by better calibrating the times of the excursion, Athens can also make both the walk and the trip to spot dolphins.

  • A wonderful experience!!!

    We want to praise James (Vanderson) for his excellent work during my trip to Port Stephens and my wife's. From the first contact, James proved to be a very competent professional and dedicated to the client. He provided all the necessary information for a successful tour, took photographs, and made several films to ensure it was unforgettable, doing more for those on the tour, and responding to all our requests with good humor. I also highlight all the tips to make our trip and stay in Australia as successful as possible. We can summarize James' work as follows: if you have had the opportunity to be guided by him, words are not necessary; If you haven't yet, words won't be enough. Yours sincerely, Paulo Afonso Lopes da Silva and Edna Maria Galvão de Oliveira
