The van was clean and air conditioned and equipped with a speaker system, so we were very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour at the beginning of a Sydney visit to gain a good perspective of the city.

We joined Matt on his online bushwalk as a special activity for our mostly migrant adult leaners and their teachers. As a group of Melbournians in the middle of lockdown we especially appreciated the magnificent views, the trees, the feeling of fresh bush air, the off-track experience and Matt's fabulous commentary. He made it enjoyable and educational for all of us and I would highly recommend this tour for a taste of the Aussie Bush!

I contacted Ben as I needed some way for my 77 year old mother to go from a quarantine hotel to the South Coast as she had to return from overseas alone. From the start he was friendly and open to the idea of this unusual "tour". My mother found him to be very cheerful, a good driver and tour guide, finding her a lovely restaurant with a view. It was the happy and hassle free way to return home. We would definitely contact Ben again.
