Matt is an amazing guide. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about Sydney and the surrounding areas. We saw some beautiful countryside in the mountains and also fantastic beaches (where we had a
great lunch). Also had an encounter with a cute koala named Arnold, so sweet. Recommend him very highly for a great day!

We had an amazing day in Sydney with Matt! Unfortunately we hit the one day that week where the weather was horrible, but that's just the kind of thing that's out of anyone's control. Matt was upbeat and friendly throughout the tour, and we made the most of the day in spite of the bad weather. Everything was very flexible as well, he gave us plenty of options for different places to visit. We did a short bush walk through one of the national parks outside Sydney, had a close up experience with some koalas and kangaroos at a sanctuary, had a delicious seaside lunch, watched some surfers in action, and took a short hike to see a colony of flying foxes. Either for the weather or the holiday, we were fortunate that most of the stops we went to had few crowds. Matt made the ride very fun overall (we spent a great deal of the time during the rides between destinations talking about and listening to different Australian bands), and the transportation was comfortable. Touring with Matt is ideal to see some amazing sights outside Sydney, especially if you only have a short time to visit.

Hands down the best private tour in Sydney. Matt knew all the local hidden gems. His knowledge of native plants on the bush hike was perfect. What he was able to show me in a day, simply doesn’t come close to other tours. Family owned and locals, what could be better. You will not be disappointed with booking a private tour with Matt.

Matthew was an incredible tour guide. He had areas he wanted to show us and he also listened to what we wanted to do. He combined this information and gave us a wonderful day. We were able to pet a Koala and Kangaroos. Went to a Gin Distillery, Winery and a Brewery. Visited an incredible park and it ended with a spectacular view of a river from atop a mountain. I would take this tour again and recommend this to anyone staying in Sydney.

We had the best time with Matt! I loved his passion and knowledge of the Wildlife and plants in Australia. He checked off a lot of things to do and see in One day! My family and I had the best time and I highly recommend him to anyone. We did a private tour which made it more personal and customized to what we wanted to see. Thank-you so much Matt! We truly had the a great experience and actually would do it again!

We can not say enough good things about this tour! Hands down our favorite thing we did in Australia! Matt is a wealth of outstanding knowledge and completely entertaining. He personalized our tour based on our interests (and that’s hard to do with our teens), and we were constantly surprised at all the stops/locations he came up with. He was able to take us to breathtaking areas away from all the crowds/tourists (and even the perfect lunch stop right by the ocean). We all still talk about our animal encounters (that we were able to feed and pet without those crazy crowds). He even took several pictures along the way with his camera, so we didn’t have to worry about trying to capture everything. This tour is the first thing our kids talk about when talking about our trip. Would do this again in a heartbeat. 10/10!
