Mark, I think I’ve expressed to you how appreciative I am that you were our Tour Director in Australia. I realize how much hard work you did to keep things running smoothly. All the members of the group appreciated the special helpful things you did for them. For me, it was especially that fabulous last day tour. Your personality is special and great for a tour director. Take care and come visit us in the US one day. Sincerely,
Jean W

Decided to take a tour of Sydney before we ventured on our own Hired Mark Wachtl www.wachtlaustralia.com.au. And it was great. Mark picked us up at the airport and took us all over the city and out to Bondi Beach where we stopped for lunch. We got an overall view of the city as well as some history. Mark was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a map when we finished the tour, circling where we had been and suggestions of where we might want to go. He said to call him if we had any questions. He’s a great guide and I would recommend him.
