Back in the early 80s, right after waving goodbye to school life, I went on a crazy adventure—hitchhiking solo around Australia for 14 months. It wasn't just about the sights and miles; it was about the people I met. Aussies are a generous bunch, they took me in like a lost cousin. I also hooked up with fellow travelers from every corner of the globe. Those months were like a masterclass in life, giving me a whole new perspective and opening up a world of experiences. Fast forward to today, and I'm not the hitchhiker anymore; I'm the one behind the wheel. No, not a taxi driver, but a private driver guide showing international visitors around the natural wonders of Australia. It's like life's way of saying, "Hey, time to give back!" :) Matt

Cathedral Ranges Southern Side

This tour has exceeded my expectation! I thank the supportive and knowledgeable Phil who led the whole bunch of beginners like our group. This hike was considered to be challenging for some of us, but it was so much fun as we got to explore various landscapes along the trail. We spent our lunch on the top of the range, so rewarding!! Best view to have lunch! What we love about the tour with Phil's guidance is that Phil didn't just bring us there, but he became one of the members in the group and he made us feel that we are capable, and as if he got our back! Truly incredible experience!

Excellent Tour!

Sorry for my late review. We had a great day taking an online tour with Matt to stroll in the bush in Sydney. I was surprised by the quality of the tour and the view at the cliff was just spectacular! The only thing is that we had 3 young kids in the tour, I wish he could explain things in a more plain language.

Matt U.

Thank you Windy for the wonderful review! I will definitely take your feedback into consideration and try to use easy-to-understand terms when there are young ones on my tour in future! I hope to take you and your family on my physical tour if you visit Australia one day.
