Matt is very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna as well as very entertaining. We did several tours while in Sydney, and this was the most enjoyable and informative. He gets you away from the city and into the national parks as well as beautiful overlooks with minimal people around. I would highly recommend the tour !

Amazing!
Sandra_P, June 2023
What an amazing experience! Matt was such a genuine person. He was not only nice, he made sure to let us know this was our trip. He didn’t randomly take us places. He made suggestions and asked if we wanted to do something. We got a little carried away with the kangaroos and he patiently waited for us to decide to move on. He was so excited to show us different places and explain them. The places he took us were absolutely gorgeous. The lunch we had was the best we had the entire time we were in Australia. The car was immaculately clean and I never once got nervous with his driving. Both y daughter and myself thought he was the best tour guide we had in two weeks. The pictures he took and sent to us were fabulous (and free) The communication prior to the trip was extremely prompt. We were so happy that he didn’t have a specific agenda and that he truly wanted this to be a personal experience. He is a natural at being a tour guide. Thank you again for a wonderful day Matt.

Sandra, thank you so much for the absolutely amazing review!
I had so much fun spending the day with you both, and I'm thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time as well. It was truly my pleasure to show you the wild side of Sydney and create a personalized experience just for you.
I do hope that our paths cross again someday.
Wishing you all the best until then!
Cheers,
Matt

Matt the Marvelous tour guide!
Kayla_S, May 2023
This was truly an once in a lifetime experience. The amount of places we were able to go to and the amount of knowledge shared with us in just a day was absolutely amazing! Going from the bush to the beach and having your tour customized is just one of the benefits you get when booking. You get to avoid all of the tourists crowds and get one on one time with EXCLUSIVE views. Matt was the best part of our Australian trip! Go ahead and book! What are you waiting for?!
Response from Host, May 2023
Kayla!
I loved hanging out with you and your family for the day. So much fun! thanks for the wonderful review and hope you have many more happy adventures to come! Miss you guys. :)
Cheers, Matt
PS: Can't wait to watch the Captain do his thing!
Matt is amazing. 100th review :-)
Kevin_K, May 2023
Matt’s knowledge of flora and the Wilderness is truly outstanding. The highlights of his tour included garnet colored resin from tree sap - foliage that turns to soap and the super pit stop at the chocolate factory. We had ample time for swimming at Avoca beach. This was truly an exceptional tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
It was a magical day! Glad you got your swim in too!
So nice to meet and travel with you both for the day. Thank you for the chocolates and the lovely review, big 100! :)
Cheers

Awesome day!
Amy_K, Mar 2023
What a great tour! We all enjoyed the day which was customized for our group of three generations. Matt is an excellent tour guide and is knowledgeable about the area and fun places to go! He goes above and beyond with extra special touches. It was our best day in Sydney! So many great memories!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Haha! I had a fabulous time with you all. Thank you for this kind review. I do hope our paths cross again one day, maybe in the US? Cheers guys! :) Matt

Best experience we had on our entire trip!
Andrew_C, Mar 2023
We took a cruise that went to multiple stops in New Zealand and Australia and out of all of the trips that we booked this was by far the best one. If you are likely only going to visit Australia once in your life then this tour will give you the authentic Aussie experience. Matt's knowledge of the areas is very impressive and gave us an unforgettable experience seeing native animals and showing us views that exceeded our expectations. The tour is also very accommodating and can be adjusted to if you want to do specific things or you can take Matt's recommendations and will not be disappointed.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Andrew, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! :)
I had a wonderful day travelling with you both, sharing my corner of the world.
Thank you for choosing me as your tour guide, and I hope to welcome you back in the future!
Cheers,
Matt
Once-in-a-lifetime wildlife adventure!
poyi_w, Feb 2023
We had an absolutely lovely time with Matt. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. I went there with my 4year old toddler and 65 years old mom. He took great care of us and my daughter had so much fun and she absolutely loved Matt! If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife adventure in Australia, this is the tour for you!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you so much Po Yi! It really was a fantastic day for me too. It was great chatting with you and for me to show you around this beautiful part of the world. All the best to you and your family! Really hope to see you all again! Kind regards, Matt
We had a great time with Matt
Richard_D, Jan 2023
Our party of 4 spent the day with Matt. We had a great time. He is very knowledgeable about the sights in and around Sydney. He offered to modify the stops based on our interests. I would highly recommend Matt if you want a fun and informative tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks so much for this review! I had a lovely day travelling with you all. Fun times!
All the best for your travels here in Australia and New Zealand!
Kind regards
Matt
Fantastic experience - highly recommend
Jenny_D, Dec 2022
Fantastic trip! Matt was knowledgeable, funny, laid back and super flexible about how our day was spent. Very varied, experienced things we would never have stumbled upon ourselves which was great! Even saw a snake, black cockatoos and an octopus! Thanks Matt for a fab day out with your Derry Girl and family!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
I miss you guys already! Thank you all for a fun day, the lovely review - and finding all the animals. Happy travels! Cheers, Matt
You have to want yo walk...
Deborah_C, Dec 2022
You have to want yo walk through the bush. No trails, not much to look at basically in guides back yard. This was way too expensive for what we got and a waste of our valuable holiday time. Don’t recommend.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Dear Deborah, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this tour was not for you.
Our tour is for guests who want an authentic nature and wildlife experience. The bush that you walked in is actually the very well-known Berowra Valley National Park, and is 40km square in size. It is known for its diverse flora, fauna and the fact that it doesn't look like a park with man-made paths. It is certainly not a person's backyard...although if it is, then that person is extremely lucky :)
We pack a lot into our tour, such as visiting gorgeous beaches and marine pools, getting up close to Aussie wildlife, dining on great food, sampling gourmet local produce, sipping wine under a waterfall in the forest, and so much more. I always do everything I can to make sure my guests have an amazing time, and based on the lovely reviews and the many guests who have become personal friends of mine after the tour, I believe I have accomplished this.
Again, I’m sorry you felt this was a waste of your time. I wish you all the best.
Kind regards,
Matt
