Private Sydney South Coast to the Southern Highlands Tour

One of the best tours I've been on. The tour was very personal and adapted to our needs and interests. Peter Bailey was very knowledgeable and provided interesting and humourous commentary while still allowing us to make our own discoveries. Highly recommend.

GREAT personalized tour. David was knowledgeable and engaging. He obviously loves what he does. Not like some of those big tour company guides that just load you on and off a bus.

He filled the driving time with great info and stats.

The views and walks were incredible.

The wine was FANTASTIC!!!

Would do this tour again and again!!!

We had a great day with Peter today going down the South Coast and back to Sydney via the Southern Highlands. We stopped at three fantastic wineries - Two Figs, Silos Estate and Cherry Tree Hill. On the way we had fantastic views as we travelled along the Grand Pacific Drive and through part of the national park. We stopped for a very good pub lunch half-way, and had a coffee stop with a view in the morning. Would very happily do this tour again. Thanks a lot, Peter!

Ahhhh what bliss to be taken to such stunning locations by Peter. The drive through the Royal National Park was just lush before it lead us onto the coast and panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean. From there a quick walk took us over the impressive Sea Cliff Bridge - it's a marvel of engineering stunningly wrapping between the coast and the cliffs. Onto Kiama for harbourfront markets and the famous blowhole to round out the morning.

Berry from here for a classic pub lunch and meander through the local quaint shops. There's something for everyone in this town.

The afternoon was then spent exploring the gorgeous Kangaroo Valley, Fitzroy Falls, and Berrima. All quintessential Aussie places, yet all so unique. Amazing how different the landscape is just an hour or two out of Sydney.

The tour is a lovely way to experience both the country and the coast, there's just no way you'd be able to self navigate this adventure so comfortably or knowledgeably - Bailey's snippets of information and stories made it all so much more enjoyable. We were surprised we'd covered so much ground, and seemingly effortlessly. We didn't feel like we'd been in the van much at all and there were plenty of options for walks and stops - Peter knowing where to get the best coffee, spot a wombat or stop for spectacular views.

I'd definitely recommend organising a tour with Peter - he's easy-going yet so thoughtful like bringing us umbrellas when the rain came on one of our walks. He's exactly the kind of local guide you want. Thanks for a wonderful tour and for keeping us well clear of any nettles!

I had a wonderful day on this tour with a group of friends. Even though I have lived in Sydney all my life, Peter showed us sights I had never seen before. The coastline and view from Bald Hill were spectacular. We loved the walk along Sea Cliff Bridge and the rain and wind did not detract from our enjoyment. Peter was attentive to our needs but never intrusive. He was knowledgeable and happy to answer our numerous questions. The trip was tailored to our wishes and flexible in terms of how long we spent at each stop and where we wanted to stop. We were lucky to experience the Kiama markets on Sunday and there was time to pick up delicious local treats. We had a lovely lunch at Berry, travelled the winding bush road to Kangaroo Valley and then checked out the Fitzroy Falls. This was a perfect way to see the highlights of the South Coast and Southern Highlands. We could relax in the spacious, comfy van, enjoy the sights, our treats and each other’s company whilst Peter did all the hard work. Thank you Peter.

Thanks Peter, exremely friendly, polite and skilled, and a very good driver on top. We drove 400km in one day, together with my elderly dad. It was a pleasure and I look forward to repeat this experience. Thanks Peter!

We had the pleasure of touring with Peter Bailey. He was promptly on time and very friendly. He gave us information on the places we visited and answered our many questions about Australia. He gave us options of what we would like to do throughout the day and never rushed us. We were very pleased with all the scenic areas he showed us. He was very easy to talk to and wanted us to have the best possible time, and we did. We saw coastal beauty, lovely beaches, quaint towns, pub stops for refreshments, a winery, beef and dairy farms, rainforest, mountain roads, and a waterfall. We also saw many beautiful and colorful birds and a couple of stingrays. Thank you Peter for sharing your information with us and making it an unforgettable day for us.

Our group of 4 active seniors had an absolutely terrific day with Peter! From his roomy VW van to his endearing personality, the day was just perfect! He tailored the trip to our requests and was flexible to amend the itinerary as we went along and found interesting areas in which to spend more time. His detailed knowledge of the area and its history made for an easy learning experience and was just simply fun.

This tour is off the beaten path and well worth the time to truly see the beauty of the region south of Sydney - from its breathtaking, non-touristy beaches to the National Park and mountain areas, forests and vales!

Clearly he has done his homework in selecting local pubs for lunch so that we had time to visit and enjoy a wonderful meal in a small, quaint village.

You won't go wrong booking with Peter!!
