Our guide Justin was the the best. I was scared. He talked me through it and put me at ease. He was friendly knowledgeable and experienced. The trip in to Macetown was nothing short of amazing. The landscape in autumn was so beautiful, and the sheer history was incredible. I am so glad I went. Thank you to Justin for giving us an incredible experience ❤️

This trip was the realisation of a dream of returning to the location of family history. The drive out and back was awesome with great views and an excellent commentary provided by our driver, Justin. To revisit the location where family had lived over 150 years ago was unforgettable. The commentary just added to the experience. This is definitely something we would do again - well worth the money.

Peter was our driver for the day and was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the history and a very fun driver! Mace town was one of the least popular trips but due to the mining history the one we chose. This was an actual 4WD adventure with obstacles which was more than I was expecting! The views were amazing and other than a few hikers and campers we had the trail to ourselves. To end it all Peter recommended what turned out to be our favorite meal of the trip at a local winery for dinner. Highly recommend Nomad and Peter as a driver!
