Adam was amazing!! He was funny, knowledgeable and an all around great guide. He was on time and kept us on schedule. Adam had many suggestions on other things to do and see around Sydney. More than just the "main" attractions. He was very informative on not just the places we visited but the history of Australia. Adam is the BEST guide we have ever had the pleasure of having!!

Super Trip Rin our guide took us to places and lookouts that were amazing. The weather was a bit foggy at the start, so Rin to us to a few other spots and then when the fog lifted, back to the 1st lookout. Super day - Thanks Rin 😁
