Mark, thank you for being a fantastic, kind, and generous guide and for looking out for our “flock” over the past eight days. Definitely one of the most adventurous tours we’ve experienced! Best wishes in all you do! With gratitude,

Had a great day exploring Sydney with Mark. We had a limited amount of time, so Mark was very helpful tailoring an itinerary to our interests. Plus, it was Australia Day and raining outside, so Mark made every effort to accommodate the road blockages and keeping us dry while still seeing and learning about all the sites! It takes an intimate knowledge and familiarity with a city to put together such a great day on the fly! I’d highly recommend touring Sydney with Mark, as his knowledge, experience and passion are apparent at every step of the day and makes for a very fun, entertaining and knowledge away to explore a city!

Dear Mark, it was your infectious spirit that led our group to be the joy-filled people who loved visiting this marvellous land under your care! Thank you and give your mum our best and a big hug and thank her for raising a wonderful guy!

Mark took a family of three adults around for the day and it was a pleasure. We were picked up at our hotel promptly when scheduled and drove to the blue mountains in the comfort of his van, where we spent a wonderful morning at featherdale with the kangaroos. We did the typical tourist stops at scenic world which was a bit touristy but nonetheless something we wanted to see. then we drove closer to three sister rock formations and got another scenic look and even a chance to stand under the formation. Mark was a pleasure to be with all day and we couldn’t have done it without a car. He suggested a delicious little place for a quick lunch too. I highly recommend a tour with Mark.
