What a great way to get to see what YOU want in Sydney!! Ross was our tour guide and he asked us questions as to what interests us and that is what we saw!! Learned about The Rocks, learned how to use public transportation like a local, took us on the ferry to Watson Bay, walked us all around and we loved it all!! Definitely recommend!

We hiked approximately 6 miles in the Royal National Park. The views were amazing. It was a cool day perfect for hiking. Ross stopped at different times to point out the different bush flowers and ferns. He was very personable and concerned for everyone’s safety on the rocky area. Lunch was great with delicious wraps and fruit. We ended our perfect day on a very old but highly maintained ferry in Bomdeena.
