We enjoyed two small group tours with Mike. Both days we felt like we were on a trip with a family member showing us around. One was to the Northern Beaches (NB) and the other was The Blue Mountains (BM). Both were fantastic and are highly recommend to get away from the central city and see the outer area of Sydney. Mike picked us up at our hotel in a very comfortable van. On our NB tour, views were breathtaking as we made multiple stops that included Kuringgai National Park, Hawksberri River, coast line towns (where we had lunch) and cliffs (where we spotted whales in the distance), and a scenic, serene Bible Garden high above the sea. Our last stop was to pick up the Manly Ferry back to Circular Quay. The BM tour was just as wonderful as we stopped at Featherdale Wildlife Park where we fed various animals like the Kangaroo, took photos with a Koala Bear and saw many Southern Hemisphere animals and beautiful birds. On this route we stopped at many scenic outlooks- mountains, valleys, waterfalls and had lunch in a small town along the way. We stopped at scenic world where we road a tram, train and cable car viewing the area. We also walked through a rainforest area there. Our last stop was for an ice cream in a small town before being dropped off at the hotel. Thanks Mike for a great two days in Sydney!Helj1647

There were 4 of us and Michael certainly made the tour very personal. He has a good knowledge of the places we visited which we really appreciated.. Stopped in the national park for morning tea then proceeded along the Hawksbury river. Lunch at an RSL Which was very nice. Following along to palm beach with beautiful scenery all the way. A bonus was we got to meet Georgie Parker while they were filming home and away. We finished at Manly where we boarded the ferry back to Sydney quay. I would certainly recommend this tour it gave us an overview of that side of Sydney. Thanks MichaelKerry M M

We had such a wonderful day out with Mike. Picked up from our central city accommodation in a comfortable van, for a day touring the Noethern Beaches. Mike shared local knowledge & answered our questions, making sure that we stopped at every little secret spot. We would not have managed to find half of the places if we were on our own. Morning tea & lunch were delicious and the ferry ride back to the CBD that was included was a great way to end the day. Thanks Mike - we absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!Albert H

Michael picked us up from our AirBnb and spent the day sharing stories and cultural knowledge that only locals would know. He brought us to tucked away places that you would not be able to find in a tour book! We really enjoyed the small group setting, had many opportunities to interact with Michael, ask questions, and really get to know Australia. Easy walks at each location.hogesdarcie
