Best Tour of an Unmissable Coastline - What an amazing tour this is! I am writing as a solo traveler who loves to be outdoors and have been training for an upcoming hike in New Zealand, so I am in pretty decent shape to push this walk, and Jennifer, my guide, realized this. But you can also take a more leisurely pace. The views overlooking Sydney proper are breathtaking, as is the gorgeous coastline, small, intimate beaches, charming towns and million dollar homes. Jennifer will not only take you to see all this, but gives you the history as she is certified to do so. I highly recommend this tour if you are solo or a small group. You get so much more by doing so. If you are staying in the city, do not miss taking the ferry to meet up - it is as gorgeous as Jennifer says. Do NOT miss! Also, after the tour you can be dropped off at Bondi Beach, where you can continue walking a path along the coastline, or have a lunch. Not to be missed! Highly recommend this tour with the warm and hospitable Jennifer.

Exclusive Tour - The tour exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Sydney’s rich history.
First and foremost, I must commend Jen for her exceptional skills as a tour guide. Her friendly and welcoming demeanor instantly put me at ease, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the entire experience. She was approachable, attentive, and went above and beyond. Her extensive knowledge of Sydney's history was truly impressive. Her storytelling abilities and passion for the subject brought the past to life, making the tour both informative and captivating. I was genuinely fascinated by the interesting facts and anecdotes she shared, as she effortlessly connected the city's landmarks to their historical significance. Her ability to make the history of Sydney come alive is a testament to her dedication as a tour guide.
Moreover, I must mention the delightful surprise of being treated to the best ANZAC cookies during the tour. Jen’s thoughtful gesture not only provided a delightful snack but also added a touch of local flavor to the experience. It is these small details that make a tour truly exceptional and memorable.

Best time with Jenny! - We had the best day on Jenny’s tour! She made it so special and fun for us. We got to see the most breathtaking hidden beaches that we would have never found without Jenny! She’s so knowledgeable and took so many great pictures of us that we will cherish forever. It was so nice to do part of the tour driving and part of it walking. Thanks for the best day!

Sensational tour - I’ve just been on a sensational walk! I’m in my 80s – so don’t be afraid to come if you are older. I have been to Sydney on numerous occasions and it’s the first time I’ve seen these views. I’ve learned so much about the Indigenous people, the land, and the plant world. The guide Jenny is knowledgeable and has made it the most special time for me.

Passionate Local Guide goes the extra mile. - Passionate local guide, Jenny, obviously enjoys sharing her extensive local knowledge of this special part of Sydney with her guests. A lovely walk paired with a drive to secluded beaches known only to locals, this is a special tour. Jenny goes the extra mile to look after her guests.
