We had time for only one day trip; very happy we chose a private tour with Matt. He was great fun and extremely knowledgeable. Our experiences ranged from a stop for fresh oysters on the coast, to a private koala encounter at a nature reserve, a "bushwalk" in which Matt shared his knowledge of the local flora, and a forest with hundreds of hanging fruit bats. Highly recommended!

Rarely does a tour ever live up to the hype. This is the exception to the rule. Matt is fantastic! He really is the real deal. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique, authentic experience. It was the highlight of our time in Sydney. He knew all of the secret areas to go. Kangaroos, koalas, bushland, ocean hideaway, rain forests. He also took amazing pictures all day which he transferred for free. Thank you for making our trip so special!

We had an absolutely fabulous time with Matt. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable with him and even got us to be a little adventurous to walk across the rocks at Avoca Beach. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our walk through the bush and seeing the nature of Australia was fantastic. The photos uploaded are just a small representation of the things we experienced and great photos taken throughout the day. No crowds and just a perfect start to exploring Sydney. We got to see kangaroos and experience sleepy time with a koala. The highlight of our trip was meeting a local aboriginal artist and seeing his awesome works of art. We were in awe. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Make it your own and create lasting memories. We sure did. Thanks Matt!!

We had the most amazing time with Matt as our guide. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable about the area--from locations to plants and animals to everything in between. He has his tour set up in a way so that you get to see the best of everything AND avoid huge touristy crowds. In most of the places we went we were either the only people there, or there were only small groups. He ALSO takes amazing photos, and edits them so you've got high quality pictures even if you've forgotten a nice camera.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend. Matt will make the most of your experience, even if you only have a day in Sydney (like we did).
