Unforgettable experience! Highlight of our time in Sydney! - We could not have asked for a more perfect day exploring Sydney with Matt and Sabrina! They were both so knowledgeable and taught us so much! We got to pet a koala bear and kangaroos which was a bucket list for me! This day was the highlight of our entire trip. They spent the entire day with us and didn’t rush through any part of it. He took amazing pictures to help remember our special day! Matt even made sure to bring us to get pies to end the night! Thank you to Matt and Sabrina for an unforgettable day!

First time in Sydney with my wife - Matt was the best tour guide. Amazing day. Got to pet a Koala bear. Surrounded by kangaroos during a feeding. Nature hike with explanation of plants and trees and rock carving. Went to the beach and walked to a cave. Saw a tree of bats and ended day with wine and chocolate overlooking the water. Then had a meat pie in Sydney for dinner. Matt was fantastic. He took professional pictures throughout the day. Would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour Guide!! Experiences to remember for a lifetime - worth every cent! - This private Sydney tour was a highlight of our Australia trip!!! Matt is an extremely knowledgable local guide who has a talent to make people feel at ease. He listens to his guests interests and caters the tour accordingly. It felt like being guided by a friend to very interesting local spots without tour groups or large crowds to spoil the experience. I saw the wildlife I wanted to see - including the koala/kangaroo and wallabies at the Wildlife Sanctuary which was so much fun! (A big thanks to Jet (volunteer) who provided the information on all the wildlife in the sanctuary’s care - her passion was infectious). I loved seeing the hopping parade during feeding. :) We also saw stunning views of meandering rivers, learned about many native plants, birds, and a few interesting insects on a local bush walk at a conservation reserve. I had never seen or heard a Kookaburra before this tour and now I have a new perspective on the childhood song! Lunch was excellent and located at a beautiful beach that was unspoiled by tourism. We saw a local artist whose work was inspiring and who has a natural gift for story-telling (thank you Garry!). Matt is an excellent photographer and sent us photos of these and many other unique memories we had to remember our trip. We were completely engaged and having fun the whole day - Thank you again Matt!

A perfect day in Australia - Our one-day tour with Matt was the highlight of our time in Australia. Nature walks, snuggling with kangaroos, emus and koalas, walks on the beach, a wonderful lunch, and an amazing surprise at the end (I won't spoil it) were all packed into a wonderful day. But it is the time spent with Matt that made it so special. He is the perfect host and guide, combining an easy going manner with a vast knowledge of all things Aussie. We loved his flexibility in letting us pick and choose our activities. Add to that the great pictures he took during the day, which he sent to us afterward. One of the best tours I've ever done.

Amazing tour!!! - Amazing tour!! Matt is an absolute blast to spend the day with. He took us off the beaten path and shared knowledge of Australian wild life. He arranged for us to have a private showing with Koalas and hit every request we had on the list. He also recommended the best snack, coffee and lunch places. Matt is an excellent photographer and took so many pictures throughout the day to share with us!! Awesome tour and highly recommended!!

Unforgettable Experience! - This tour is a must do if you like nature and wildlife! Matt took us places that only the locals would know to show us amazing views and personal encounters with animals and more. Matt was super personable and focused the tour on what was important to us. An unforgettable experience, well worth the investment and time.

Fabulous Tour with Matt! - There are so many but if I had to pick one, definitely the wildlife sanctuary. Everything was exceptional from the hikes to the beaches punctuated with great conversations with Matt!

Best personal tour I've ever been on! - My wife and I recently visited Sydney, Australia for the first time. And were lucky enough to get connected with Matt, a seasoned resident and all around great guy! Matt's experience with the Australian outback is extensive and began as a young man growing up in the Sydney area. In addition to his experience with all things nature and wildlife Matt is also an accomplished videographer and photographer. We had the chance to see and experience the rare parts of Sydney from its beaches to the bush, like no other tour I know of. Matt’s connection with local merchants and wildlife keepers we encountered along the way are a testament to Matt’s professionalism and courtesy, they were always glad to see him and made us feel like part of their family. Getting to touch and closely interact with species only found in Australia. The kangaroos, koala bears, and wallabies were amazing! I can’t say enough about this experience, you’ll just have to try it yourself. Jeff Maichel Spokane, Washington, USA

Best day around Sydney - Where do I begin? Can’t imagine a more ideal day than the one we spent with Matt. He is a delightful knowledgeable guide, and it’s hard to imagine how we managed to see everything we saw in less than 12 hours. No guide can control wildlife, but we saw 100% of what we hoped to see. If you love wildlife, being outdoors, and learning about the places you visit, book this tour!! Matt is amazing! He also provided gorgeous photos of our day! My favorite was hanging out w Arnold the koala at the wildlife park. Here are a few snapshots I took. Matt’s were better!
