A great day trip from Sydney that you should take if you have an extra day!! - Terry was a great tour guide, he took the time to inform us of the history, he took us through scenic places and ensured we visited cafes and restaurants that were local and so authentic and we could support the local husinseeses. The veggie burger we had for lunch was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and very kind.

Review of kiama blowhole trip - Terry was an absolutely fantastic tour guide for our trip to the Kiama Blowhole! From start to finish, he was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and he shared so many interesting facts and stories that brought the whole experience to life.
The itinerary was well-paced and thoughtfully planned. Terry went out of his way to make the day enjoyable for all of us.
Thanks to Terry’s guidance, we got the best views and photo opportunities and special thanks to Terry for our wonderful professional photography.
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Terry — he made the day truly memorable. Thanks again, Terry!

Great Tour, great tour guides. - This was a nice chill beautiful drive along the coast, in & out of coastal small towns & farms with lots of picturesque stops. Though there are a handful of other people, there were no other tour buses on this route at all. speaking of which, we were in a comfortable van, not a bus. small group was very nice. There were a few opportunities for short walks including on the Sea Cliff Bridge. Our guides Terri & Evan were very friendly & knowledgeable as well as great photographers. It was a very pleasant day.

Great trip. - Daytrip was great. Terry(guide) was very engaging, funny, and informative. He had a backup lunch stop when the normal stop was closed for the Holiday Weekend and the food at Stone Wall Cafe was good and had a lot of choices. The views were fantastic and would have been difficult to get to without driving.

The best tour we did - This is a brilliant tour, made so much better by an interesting and informed driver and tour guide. The pace is perfect, the transport is comfortable and the scenery is nothing short of beautiful. If I am back in Sydney again I will seek out this tour company. Thank you for a lovely day

Beautiful locations - Scenic locations - Stepping out of Sydney helped us explore some breathtaking views. The places we visited were also less crowded and we did something which was different than all the lists published in the name of “Things to do in Sydney”.

An Introduction to the Scenic Wonders South of Sydney. - An unforgettable full-day experience hosted by Terry Rogan, who introduced us to the southern parts of Sydney which is in stark contrast to the Blue Mountains tour we took the previous day.
Although a long day, Terry's hospitality, knowledge of Australian flower and fauna, coupled to his extensive historical explanations made this a memorable trip for the six of us which we will treasure for years to come.
We also say some free ranging kangaroos...!
This is a highly recommended, small party tour group.

The Best Tour Ever - If you only take one tour, make it this one. We had an amazing time on this tour. There were only 3 of us, and our guide Terry made us feel like we were royalty. He took us to amazing places that most travelers wouldn’t even know about. Terry’s commentary was fantastic, and it was very evident that he truly loves what he does. The scenery was spectacular and we can’t thank Terry enough for giving us such a memorable day. These memories from this tour will last forever.
