          Perfect day in the Blue Mountains!
          Charlie was great. He made it a perfect day! Excellent insight to the Blue mountains. We wouldn't have been able to see all we saw without him!

          Such a great tour that we had to book another!
          If you’re reading this, look no further! Best private tour we’ve ever had. Scott had something interesting to say about every stop we were at. Truly made our experience personal and we were able to check off so many things in one day. We loved our tour so much that we booked the Blue Mountains tour with him the next day. He gets booked fast so if you see something you want to do, book it NOW! Thanks Scott for making our first trip to Sydney absolutely memorable.

          Fantastic day in the Blue Mountains!!
          Wow, this was such a special day trip from Sydney! Charlie took us all through the Blue Mountains and into the Megalong Valley. Being on a private tour, Charlie tailored the day to what we wanted to see. We felt like we were the only people in the blue mountains that day. He took us so many places that tourists/buses don’t go to. The only time we saw other tourists was at sunset when we viewed the 3 sisters and even that was less crowded than usual. He went above and beyond to find wild kangaroos for us to see and lunch at the tea rooms was phenomenal. He recommended we take the ferry back into Circular Quay and I’m so glad we did - it was a great way to end a beautiful day.

          Best tour ever!
          An amazing tour with the most friendly tour guide. Saw some incredible views and sites whilst learning all about the blue mountains. The hikes we went on were spectacular and fitted well with our walking ability. Definitely would recommend to do when you visit Sydney.

          Private tour in Sydney
          Scott was a fantastic guide for this private tour. I have discovered very beautiful areas of Sydney like the famous beaches of Manly and Bondi, Paddington, the Rocks, Taronga zoo including also a tour with the ferry in the amazing bay. I spent a very nice day. Guide to recommend.

          An Epic Day of Touring Sydney & Surrounds with Charlie!
          Charlie is a professional,highly informative, friendly and expert guide! All pre-tour planning and email conversations were timely, thorough and satisfying! Upon arrival via the Celebrity Edge....our tenders delivered us to the Opera House Wharf much later than scheduled,...and Charlie was there waiting at the turn- around behind Sydney Opera House welcoming us to the city in his very luxurious Range Rover! Our day of Discover Sydney began with a bouquet of greetings, smiles and excited anticipation! We headed right into The Royal Botanic Gardens where Charlie began sharing with us the history of Sydney....he sprinkled his history lessons with information about the local flora and fauna.....Sitting on Mrs. Macquarie's chair, being amazed at the Merton Bay Figs and the gorgeous and raucous birdlife!!!!! We were enthralled with Charlie's breadth of knowledge and his calm, humorous and tranquil comportment. As we drove from place to place, Charles answered our queries about Sydney, Sydney's history, government past & present and drew our attention to the historic architecture and the interesting animal life we passed along the way....we trailed after a Kookabura and watched as it pulled worms from the ground and another Kookabura in a tree "beating a mouse to tenderize it" before eating!!!!!! We were regaled by cockatoos, black swans, ibis, and australian magpies to name but a few!!! Our travels took us to and thru The Rocks, Darlinghurst, Moore Park, Woollahra, and to Centennial Park! At Centennial Park Charles brought us on a walk to a huge forest area that was home to thousands of Flying Foxes hanging from trees high up in the canopies! It was magical!!! Then on thru Waverly Park, Rose Bay, Vaucluse and to the famous Bondi Beach!!!! Charles gave us time to walk in every location, take pictures, and enjoy the exquisite views....we enjoyed a lovely coffee at one of his favorite cafes ....and throughout our day together Charles was brilliant companion, teacher, guide and friend. We could not have been happier with our tour with Charles. Every minute was packed with details and history of the beauty of Sydney and Surrounds...we can surely say that Charles expertly guided us into falling in love with Sydney. Thank You Charles!!!!! Next visit....how bout the Blue Mountains, Charles???!!!!!! Many thanks! Madelyn and Alex

          Beautiful trip to the Blue Mtns
          Charlie was a fantastic guide, interesting, kind, extremely knowledgeable about the Blue Mountains - the trails, flora and fauna and really tailored our experience to our group. We didn’t want an overly scheduled tourist experience. It was cloudy but we didn't mind - the beauty of being in the clouds was part of the experience. I highly recommend.

          Our tour guide Andrew did a great job of showing us most areas around Sydney with very helpful commentary. Highly recommend this city tour. Very worthwhile.

          The Views and The Wallabies
          The Blue Mountains are definitely a bit of a drive from Sydney, but it was worth it. The views from Scenic World were fantastic. Hand feeding the wallabies at Featherdale Wildlife Preserve was without a doubt a trip highlight for my friend and I. Our tour guide Fabrizio did a wonderful job with our group of 24, that included a wheelchair. Working with Scott to organize this trip was great. I definitely recommend his company.

          Private Blue Mountain tour
          Private Blue Mountain tour Blue mountain tour for my Family is one of the great experiences during our Australia trip. Beautiful mountain ranges, valleys, falls and photo points all became more enjoyable and meaningful with our tour Guide David. We started with visit to prehistoric site hidden from most of the people. Tour became not only natural site seeing but history, geography and culture and spirit of Australia for us thanks to our experienced Guide David. Recommended to all who are looking for something special and memorable out of Blue Mountain tour. Thanks

          Outstanding!!!
          Outstanding tour!! We booked this tour to not only fill in the time till we could check in to our accommodations but also to see a bit of Sydney upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Charles. He asked many questions at the beginning about what we liked to do and see and totally catered to that. He also shared tips on what to do with the rest of our time in Sydney. We highly recommend booking a tour (or two) when you visit Sydney!

          Was it fate or luck? It was the Guide!
          Mister Charlie, hands down, made everything more interesting and then added some more! From the multiple off-roads, to the food recommendations and the added commentary, it was all gold. By the way we were with him for both our Sydney and Blue Mountains Day Tours. It was even his birthday on one of the days he was with us. He was our close friend that we finally got to meet again and reconnected with... for our first visit to Sydney; that's how it was having the tours with Charlie. We were comfortable in his vehicle and he assisted us all the way had a wheelchair with us. Loved that he had an itinerary planned and ran it with us to align both our expectations. Got to see many hidden gems on both places and shared a good amount of stories that really will stay with us. We also got to meet Scott on one of the tours, he is also an awesome guy. Your Sydney Guide, the easiest recommend for Private Tours in Sydney, no other choice.

          Excellent Tour Guide
          Charlie was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable about the Blue Mountains and Sydney. The vehicle was very nice and clean. Took us on an incredible hike to see the waterfalls and even though the weather was rainy, he still made the trip very interesting. Took us to a special hotel where we had a quick bite to eat and then dropped us off at the ferry for our ride back to the hotel. This was on New Years Eve and everything was extremely busy. We felt blessed to have a tour guide on New Years Eve. We would definitely use this tour company again in the future and ask for Charlie.

          Great 6 hour Tour!
          Scott was very easy to work with before we arrived in Sydney, helping plan our tour. Very knowledgeable about history and local areas. Extremely flexible tour. He even stopped at pharmacy for us to get supplies for cruise. Then dropped us off at Fish Market for a great lunch (his recommendation). Great way to see and learn about Sydney. Would highly recommend Scott and his services!

        Scott makes everything easy. From the initial booking and follow ups he was a pleasure to work with. The perfect host for a wonderful day out around Sydney,

        He picked us up from our Sydney hotel right on time and then took us through what to expect from the day and asked if we wanted to tweak anything. Then we headed out towards the Highlands.

        Scott is very knowledgeable about all things Sydney, its history and the landscape. He gave us insights into every part of the city that we drove through with great detail on how the city was founded, grew and the prospects for the future.

        We wandered around the coast line taking in the various bays that are abundant in the area with Scott telling us the local history and pointing out the key parts. His eye for detail is good and he made sure we didn't miss the small things which you normally would pass over.

        As we entered the royal parks he told us about the various sites and animals, trees and flowers that we could expect to see and took us to some stunning views of the bays. Pointing out Black Cockatoo's, Lyrebirds, heron's and a multitude of other animals. He also told us about the local plants and how they survive in the region and deal with fires.

        The walk around Fitzroy Falls was perfect. Stunning views of the area and not to be missed.

        We skipped the wine and settled on a local pub for lunch. Great choice.....The Surveyor Inn. If you get the chance have lunch here.

        The we headed back into Sydney and Scott drove us around the back roads and into Bondi and the various beaches around the city. After that was a slow meander back towards the hotel taking in some brilliant views of the port and wharf from the heads.

        I would highly recommend Scott. He is relaxed, easy to talk to and has in depth knowledge of his city, its history and was able to answer all our questions about the local wildlife the environment and general life in Sydney. A great personality that will show you the best spots and keep you apart from the large tour groups.

        Scott thanks for the great day touring in Australia! I picked this tour becuase it got us out of the city and into some of the areas tourists don't usually get to go. I loved that it offered water and mountain site visits - and wine :-) Thanks for sharing all your knowledge of the area and entertaining us for the day. Would definitly recommend this to anyone who wants to see some of the hidden gems of Sydney area.

        Undoubtedly the best tour guide company in Sydney, we had 2 full days with our personal guides ( Blue mountain tour & Southern highlands tour) and we couldn’t have been more delighted, the guides were knowledgeable, prompt, flexible and most importantly lovely people.
        I would recommend this company 100%

        Great time at the Southern Highlands. As it was winter, it was cooler by 2 or 3 degrees with the temp at the city. The blast of wind greeted us at Bald's Hill. Oh!, what a view. We had breakfast at Audley Dance Hall at the Royal National Park. It was such a pleasant atmosphere. We also had lunch at Bendooley Estate and it was another memorable experience.
        We went with Scott when we were at Sydney last year (2022) and it was a no-brainer going again with him on this tour as well as the one to Port Stephens. Thanks, Scott for being a great and friendly guide. The 6 of us always enjoyed our comfortable ride in your Land Rover Discovery. We would never have seen or enjoyed the food at the places you took us to.

        Southern Highlands Wine Tour

        Best company too book with for Southern Highlands Tour. I booked a birthday wine tour with Scott in the Southern Highlands and had a great time. Scott was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly during the entire process. Our tour guide Lloyd was fantasic, he made the day fun and we really enjoyed our day.

        Would recommend to others!
