Amazing tour of Sydney and the surrounding nature and wildlife. Matt was brilliant with his knowledge of the bush and helped us discover the many treasures of this great land He was delightful and kind and took us to secret spots, private beaches and other spots that only a true local guide could share. Oh and he is a professional photographer with a super camera who took many pictures and sent them to us is an electronic file. Thanks Matt for your care it was an honor meeting you

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.

Our experience on the Nature and Wildlife: Australia tour was truly amazing. Matthew's exceptional knowledge and his ability to tailor the excursion to our preferences made the experience even more enjoyable. The well-planned itinerary allowed us to explore a diverse range of wildlife and natural wonders in just one day. The photos provided by Matthew were truly unbelievable. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Australia's nature and wildlife. Thank you, Matthew, for creating such a memorable and unforgettable experience for us.

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.
