So here’s the thing about Matt and his interactive tours...the minute he starts heading out into the bush (forest), he’s in his element. And his enthusiasm is contagious. He showed me and my girlfriend everything: wildlife, caves, explained the historical significance of this beautiful part of the world. He even stopped at a tree and ate some termites like the aboriginals use to! Matt loves his little corner of paradise. And it shows. Loved it!
Amazing tour beginning with pickup at our hotel, feeding birds in the park, and being taken to places few tourists ever visit. Lots of information and sights, I highly recommend this tour! If we ever get to travel back to Australia, I would definitely use Matt for another outing!
Matt is a great guy! He took us out into the natural areas surrounding Sydney and we really got to see the best of the area. We walked through the bush (what Aussies call the bush is what Americans call the woods or forests) and saw beautiful birds like lorikeets, galahs, parrots and we even saw lyre birds in two different places - Wow! Plus Matt showed us some Aboriginal stone carvings as well as places where the Aboriginals had sharpened their tools. He also shared interesting information about local plants and trees. We walked some beautiful beaches - ones that are much better than the well known Bondi - and we trekked over the rocks on one of the beaches to see waves crashing against the cliffs and fascinating honeycomb sort of shaped erosion in the stone along the cliffs. We had lunch at a local restaurant that served wonderful seafood and overlooked a river that provided the perfect combination of food, drink, cool breezes and scenic views. We also visited a couple of wildlife sanctuaries to see the unique Australian wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, dingos, Tasmanian devils, birds...at one the emu was leading the way along the path! To top it all off, Matt took us to beautiful waterfalls before bring us back to our hotel in the city. Matt is well-informed and passionate about the beauty and wildlife surrounding Sydney - you must do this tour! We loved it and wished we had our grandkids with us as they would have loved it as well!
We spent the day with Matt, having come in for a day from a cruise ship. I was with my retired parents. Matt was incredible! He was very personable, full of interesting information, and fun to spend the day with. We were able to see amazing sights, that regular tours do not see. We loved all of the stops on the trip: the 4000 year old carvings, the bush walk, the chance to pet kangaroos and emus, the waterfall, and the 3 beaches, each unique and beautiful. For most of the trip, we were off the normal tourist stops, seeing just a few locals enjoying the nature. We couldn't have found a more perfect tour guide. Thank you Matt!
This tour was EXCELLENT! If you are looking for something off the beaten tourist path, this is for you. We spent the day observing Australia's natural beauty on remote coastlines and natural bush. We interacted with wildlife from kangaroos in the bush to observing seals playing off the coastline. Matt is an fantastic tour guide and a great person, he's knowledgeable about Australia's history and natural environment and was lovely to spend the day with. I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney!
If you are looking to see life outside the big city, this tour is for you. Matt clearly loved showing us the beauty outside the city. We walked in the bush where we saw aboriginal drawings, saw incredible rock formations at the beach, had a wonderful lunch and more. We had a lovely day!
This tour is a hand-crafted experience from a very passionate, personable, and genuine tour guide. Matt has created a tour schedule that allows him to pick you the doorstep of your residence (whether it is your home, an AirBnB, or hotel), give you the history of the region, show you Aboriginal carvings on sandstone that date 20,000-40,000 years, take a mild hike into the wonderful bush in the small town where he resides (Berowra), travel to the wild-life reserve where you pet Kangaroos, Emus (Happy Feet is great!), and see the other regional wildlife, have lunch at a waterside restaurant at a discount, see 3 wonderful beaches with a nice seashore hike, and a waterfall prior to dropping you back off at where you're staying. The thing with Matt's trip is it is fluid and very accomodating. I would not recommend it to those who do not like a hike, but if you love the outdoors, the sound of waves crashing, and the wonderful landscape of Australia, then this is the tour made for you. Additionally, Matt's company is unbelievable (we enjoyed his company so much, we insisted he join us for lunch! He was hesitant and respectful, but eventually agreed to our non-stop requests) and he teaches the local lingo, knows good facts about local things, and will guide you through the etiquettes of the country if you are not aware, as well. Most importantly, he finalizes the tour with special things, such as stopping in the middle of the trip for some ice cream/gelato that we saw or gifting a bottle of wine to my wife and me after hearing how enthused we have recently become with wine. These are the qualities that set this tour apart from others. So if you want a personal tour with invaluable company, then Matt's Sydney Secrets tour is meant for you.
We had a wonderful time with Matt which started and ended right on time. We were initially a group of 4 and then last minute, had to increase our group size to 5. Matt was very accommodating and made everything easy - from adding one more person to our group, to stopping for coffee, to making changes to our itinerary as the weather changed throughout the day. I really appreciated how Matt paid attention to everyone's interest and shared information that he thought each one would find meaningful. Spending the day with Matt as a tour guide was like spending the day with an old friend who spent a lot of time in Australia's great outdoors. He brought us close enough to nature to enjoy it, but not too far that it was inconvenient. My favorite part of the trip was being able to touch Wallabies and going to a beautiful waterfall. We also all had fun during the drive listening to music and sharing stories. I highly recommend this tour to families and groups of friends who want to explore Australia beyond Sydney as a private group. Can't wait to go back on this tour with other members of my family!
