    Had a brilliant morning out at Ku-ring-gai with Eric for a team bonding and culture PD session. Can’t speak highly enough of the experience. Eric’s knowledge, expertise, and skill in guiding us across some remarkable sites was just outstanding. We’ll be back again for sure!

  • Best thing we did in Sydney!

    Did this tour with Eric on my last day in Sydney and so glad I squeezed it in. He's incredibly knowledgeable and such a lovely person to spend a few hours with. I learned so much about the history and culture of the area, and the rock engravings were a real highlight - we honestly had no idea they were even there. Eric took his time, answered all our questions, and made me feel fully present - I now know what it means to truly 'connect' to country. Easily one of the best things we did on the whole trip. Highly recommend!

    This was a great experience to get out on country and learn some great insights to Indigenous way of life. Eric was great at giving all the participants time to reflect on self and also space for us to learn and share our own knowledge. Recommend this to anyone looking to further knowledge on indigenous culture.
