Absolutely amazing tour! - The tour of Glebe in a nutshell was amazing! My partner and I attended one of these tours in June, Ned's knowledge of Glebe and its distinct history is unmatched! We will definitely be attending the Watson's bay tour when we are in Sydney next. Definitely recommend attending a tour!

Outstanding and fascinating tour - Ned is a fantastic tour guide. I’ve done both his Glebe and Watsons Bay Tours and was amazed at what I learned. It’s often easy to forget the history associated with the places we frequent! Ned was very accomodating and made the history of the areas very digestible. Would recommend these tours to anyone who loves exploring these areas! You don’t need to be a history buff to enjoy :)
