A beautiful day and a great guide

twalter527, Mar 2025

James ‘Wheels’ made the day a lot of fun. His humor and interesting facts, and his great music made the long rides between sites go much faster.

Amazing, from the bush seeing emu and kangaroo, to the beach for lunch, amazing views at the 12 apostles

James was a great tour guide, giving us history, facts and entertainment. We were not expecting to see wild koalas, kangaroos and even dolphins ???????? the views were breathtaking and James did a great job of stopping us off at the best lookouts. We even got a bit of singing from him ????????????
