Scott was great. Very knowledgeable of Sydney and we went to places you will not find in large bus tours. He was accommodating to our request and made sure we were all (three couples with different interest) happy with the tour. He took great pictures that he sent to us and ended with a great drink at Sydney’s oldest tavern. He was on time and we never felt rushed and was flexible to make sure we saw the items on our most see list. If you are doing this tour you should request Scott!

My sisters and I recently visited Canberra and spent a wonderful few hours with Marg of Canberra Secrets. We were collected from our hotel and then driven to key tourist spots in her very comfortable vehicle, with interesting commentary along the way. Marg has a lovely manner and shares her knowledge in a charming, conversational way. She tweaked the itinerary to avoid places we had already seen so that everything we visited was new to us. We had a very special time with her and highly recommend the very personal approach of Canberra Secrets.

From big incoming tides to land locked options, Micky has a great fishing knowledge and I would recommend Spring Tide Fishing Safaris for various day trip adventures; whether targeting both Bluewater or freshwater options. Unfortunately the fishing was slow but he put us on to two big Barra!
