Promenade charmante à Watson bay

Published on Dec, 2024

Kevin is interesting, charming and a good listener. He offered me exactly the walk I was dreaming of in Watson bay. It was very, very pleasant. He then explained how to get to Bondi. On the other hand, TripAdvisor had trouble linking us beforehand.

The Perfect guide Peter show you everything

Published on Sep, 2024

Peter knows the city and takes personal time to understand your interests. Show us the main attractions and then we took the ferry, high speed as well as the lite rail. Teaching us about its history as well as culture. What a perfect tour guide.
