Sydney Northern Beaches

Anne_V, Mar 2023

Spectacular ocean scenery and Aboriginal culture at National Park. Mike knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend this tour.

Long day

Theodore_V, Jan 2023

Long ride as expected, guide had no interest or knowledge about National Park or Wildlife. Beaches were beautiful indeed. Lunch was decent. An informed guide could have made this a good tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

That is good to hear that you enjoyed the wonderful beaches of the Northern Beaches, and the lunch venue. Unfortunately I was not available to be your guide on that day. It was a real shame that your guide did not provide an informative commentary that met your expectations. I do hope that you will get to visit Sydney again. Kind Regards, Mike

Northern Beaches

Joyce_D, Feb 2020

Mike was a great guide. I think we saw all the northern beaches. He was very knowledgeable about Ku-ring-gai National Park and the beach area. The ferry back from Manly Beach was just a great add-on.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you very much for the lovely review!, I’m very happy that you had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful Northern Beaches! Mike

I think you should drop the national park option off and spend more time on the beaches. The aboriginal paintings are not that exciting.
