• 5Jes made the tour - Thank you Jes!

  Tour guide Jess made this a very special and a very unique tour. I would’ve highly recommended this tour to anyone as long as she and only her was the tour guide. She was more than fair with the group. She showed us amazing places and due to us being on time gave us the opportunity to experience the sand that I wanted to experience it wine glass Bay Beach but couldn’t due to consensus with the group. She is truly an absolute outstanding employee and I would highly recommend for a Sydney company to poach her if this company doesn’t give her more Tours then Jess by all means come to Sydney because you are 10 out of 10 incredible to the owner of the company. She is a real diamond in a rough industry so thank you again Jess for all that you did.

• 4A great spot

  4 out of 5 mainly for the weather a great little tour with some good views, Although we did not get close to the bay a good view was experienced, has some good hiking walks/ trails. Driver/guide was not real talkative but when asked he came back with all the Knowledge you needed as said great little tour with a reliable company. Return trip highlight after walking was the stop at Devils Corner Winery for a taste of their goods and the specialty was the seafood, worth trying the Oysters (and The Toilet Break)
