Wonderful experience - It was a wonderful experience, where we enjoyed incredible landscapes. Our guide (Greg) picked us up directly at our hotel, and planned the day according to what we wanted to see/do. We're a family of 4 adults (parents + 2 grown up daughters) We started by a ~2h30 walk (including all the photo breaks) on the coastal track, heading up to the wedding cake rock. Greg provided us some nice information on the geology, birds and plants around us. After this nice walk we had a great healthy lunch that Greg prepared for us. We then went to the Wattamolla falls, and to the Symbio Wildlife park. Greg managed to bring us there just at the time where the feeding of the koalas happened. The animal keeper also provided nice information. We fed the kangaroos, the wallabies and the emus. At the park closure we went to the Sea Cliff Bridge, and to the Wombarra beach. It was right at sunset, and we got really nice pictures. Greg also took some family pictures and sent them just the day after. Since going to the Royal National Park via public transport is close from the nightmare, that was a great opportunity for is to visit it. We highly recommend it!

Lovely Bespoke hike/tour day in Royal National Park and Sydney - Had a lovely day with Greg. We picked the Royal National Park tour but then ended up with a bespoke tour as we wanted a more challenging hike and had already visited the other sites listed on the original tour. Hiked Eagle Rock, had a nice picnic lunch (too bad the kookaburra flew off!), and then a leisurely drive through Sydney on the way back to our hotel. Greg pointed out buildings of architectural interest and we stopped twice for short walk arounds. Greg (of Sydney Nimble Tours) was truly nimble in adjusting the itinerary to suit us! We would definitely recommend Greg and Sydney Nimble Tours.

Great tour, fantastic host - The value of this tour was so much more than the places we visited - Greg made sure we had the absolute best time we could have. Traveling as a family, we had a lot of requests for minor adjustments and Greg not only was flexible in accommodating those, but was also proactive in suggesting ways to improve our day. We had a blast and it's by far the day that our toddler talks about the most from the trip.

Excellent experience - Greg picked us up nearly our hotel, and head straight to Royal National Park. He showed us where were the best spots to take photos and also helped to took some for us. The whole trip was excellent. I have traveled 24 countries and joined a lot of local tours, Greg's tour is one of the best one I have ever joined. Though we did not use to talk much

Highlight of our time in Sydney - We opted for the hike to Eagle Rock with Greg. The scenery was breathtaking, and Greg was knowledgeable about various things (including birds and flora) we saw. He also knew the best locations off the trail to stop to see sites, such as interesting rock formations or colorations, waterfalls, etc. Greg also told us to be looking for humpback whales as they should be starting their northward migration soon. We originally saw 2-3 working their way north. Later there were 4-5 that were doing fin slaps, breaches, and tail slaps repeatedly--the whales put on an excellent show! Greg was good about giving us time to "soak in" the scenery along the way, and you could tell he also personally enjoys going to the various spots (even though he has probably seen it many times before). With this being a private tour (just the 2 of us plus Greg), we were able to set a pace and length that worked for us as well as provide input on what to include in the day based on our interests (e.g., we opted to not go to the Symbio Wildlife Park so that we could focus on various scenic spots such as Bald Hill, Sea Cliff Bridge, etc.). We also enjoyed the lunch that Greg provided (very well equipped and prepared--much better than we do for ourselves when out hiking!). This tour was definitely a highlight of our time in Sydney! Without Greg's tour, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the sights in the Royal National Park.

Do this trip vs the Blue Mountain tours- you won’t be disappointed! - Greg was very punctual picking us up & extremely knowledgeable about the park and it’s surroundings, This not an easy hike and can be quite slippery over rocks and wet areas of the trail but Greg was very patient throughout the hike. Hand made much was delicious after the hike. He timed the wildlife visit at feeding time and were treated to many animals very active and easily visible. This wasn’t a zoo but more like a wildlife sanctuary and the staff deeply cares for the animals well being. Great views of the rugged Australian coast, terrific exercise, nice lunch, getting to see local wildlife up close and personal. Worth the long day & the hiking experience that will be even more special once whale sighting season begins! Mahalo Greg! 🤙🏼We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Super - Greg communicated well from early on, he asked for my children’s ages to see if car seats were needed and took notes of food allergies. He also accommodated our request to make some changes to the itinerary last minute. The guided hiking tour was great, he made sure everyone was on track and took breaks as needed. The picnic lunch we had in the park was lovely. My son forgot his phone on Greg’s car at the end of the tour and he went out of his way to bring that back even though he was also looking for his backpack left behind. We appreciated having Greg as our guide and would definitely recommend him for others.

A wonderful tour with Greg! - We had a great time on our tour hiking with our very informative guide, Greg. We were treated to great views with a bit of wind and managed to see all the park had to offer. I can't recommend this tour enough and if your're asked to adventure a bit, give it a shot! You never know what you'll stumble on with Greg!

a beautiful day centered around Royal National Park and then Manly Island. - The magnificent beauty of the coast line at Royal National Park. Greg of Sydney Nimble Tours was a great host and adapted the tour to meet our requests along with his additional suggestions.

Had a wonderful day - I can't say enough good things about Greg. He was prompt, pleasant, fun, interesting, well informed, well organized, patient, and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Symbio Wildlife Preserve and Royal National Park.
