  Great trip! Saw many Roos, emu, wombats, birds including kookaburras! John was the perfect tour guide. A good lunch and dinner are included. Long day but passed quickly.

  We attended this tour in February 2020 and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Instead of being brought to a tourist park or a zoo this tour took us with a very small group of people into an adorable town for lunch, Then off in search of animals In their natural habitats With a stop at the historic local pub for dinner. The food was fabulous! It is not guaranteed to see anything but we were able to see probably over 100 kangaroos, 5 Emus, and 13 wombats. Many of the animals come out at dusk. John was our guide and we found him energetic, enthusiastic, very kind and entertaining. Very beautiful scenery and so much more exciting to find the animals in their natural habitat then stuck in a small enclosure at a zoo. Thank you boutique tours of Australia!

  an awesome way to see the animals and things you won't experience in the city. Pick up and drop off points were limited so check into that. Our driver was on time and friendly. We saw more animals closer to dusk as it was very hot the day of our tour. We enjoyed seeing the kangaroos, wallabys, wombats and emus. We even saw a joey go in the pouch! Spot lighting at night for wombats was definitely a first for us. Our tour took us the Bee and Bear cafe along with the Surveyor General Inn in Berrima both were unique and well worth the visit.

  Great to do one time if you never did it. It worths so much to see animals in their natural space and not in a zoo. You are ensured to cross kangaroos, wallibies and wombats on this tour. Very low chance about koalas and platypus, feel very lucky if you do.

  Our guide was very friendly and outgoing but this trip is a huge rip-off. She drives you 90 minutes away from Sydney into a thickly wooded area to view wildlife. Then she has everyone get out of van (on a cold blistery day) to look for Koalas in the trees. She knows that there are no Koalas in those trees. On our so-called nature walk she was pointing out spiders on the ground...We didn't come here to look at spiders, but nice try on keeping us occupied.. Not one Koala was seen on the entire trip. We did spot many kangaroos and Emu's running around the woods which was fun, but enough is enough with the kangaroos. The tour guide also drives real fast when wildlife is spotted then slams on the breaks. I almost broke my neck to see a damn kangaroo. The hearty country dinner is simply a very thin sandwich with a tea. I was still hungry after dinner. Then comes night driving to spot wombats. Please spare me. This was a huge waste of time looking for wombats with a flashlight. We did see one dead one on the side of the road. Big woop. This expensive trip is a huge waste of hard-earned dollars. You will see more wildlife at the Taronga Zoo and are able to take many pictures with the wildlife there (including Koalas). Don't throw your money away on this boring tour.

  This tour was perfect. I’m so glad I did it! We saw tons of animals: 3 adult emus, 2 emu chicks, countless kangaroos, 2 wallabies, 2 foxes, 5 wombats (my personal favorite), a few water monitors, a skink and a plethora of beautiful birds. Our guide, Chris, was a wealth of information. He knew so much about the wildlife and did an excellent job teaching our little group about Australian wildlife. He also graciously answered questions about Australia in general. Highly recommend this tour!

  we were picked up on time and spent the day searching and finding wallabys, kangaroos, Koalas,parrots and more after dinner a night time run produced more animals including many Wambats. A long day but well worth it...

  This tour started our time in Sydney and was better than we imagined. A nice 4WD Mercedes van picked us up, we had an ex-zookeeper guide who knew her stuff, had excellent lunch and dinner meals and managed to see almost every animal we were hoping for. Our guide Zoe had excellent eyes and could see things we couldn't, animals camouflaging with their environment. She tried her hardest to get us into the best position for photos and didn't rest until we were happy. A long day, 11hours, but well worth it.

  We weren't too sure what this tour had in store for us - we have done wildlife tours around the world where sometimes you see zilch. But that wasn't the case for this tour! Our amazing guide Zoe went above and beyond, literally, to find us every native, introduced and farmed animal found in this region. She was running through the bush, climbing cliffs, crossing the river and pointing out some of the most amazing animals we have every seen! Kangaroos (with babies!), wallabies (with babies!), wombats, possums, platypus, lizards, spiders, a huge variety of birds like cockatoos, parrots, emu, kookaburra, native ducks, ducklings and even owls! We saw foxes and rabbits, deer, cows, horses and foals! We didn't see a koala, but this tour still surpassed our expectations. All thanks to our guide Zoe. She was waiting for us when we came out of our hotel, and immediately made us feel comfortable. She was friendly, warm, charismatic, and a wealth of information! So knowledgable about everything we saw, there wasn't a question she couldn't answer. And she didn't hesitate Googling it if she had to - it seemed like she got a kick out of learning and experiencing this tour with us. She was definitely the highlight of our tour. THANK YOU ZOE!

  What a great adventure we had with Boutique Tour guide Zoey and 6 other travelers from UK and US. It was a long day out to the bush and back, but the time went quickly with the informative and fun commentary. We didn’t see a koala or platypus, but we gave it a good try! We did see lots of kangaroos, wallabies and beautiful birds and lots of baby “Joeys”. Our group was probably the most excited to see the wombats after dark! Highly recommend this adventure, ask for Zoey! She’s amazing!
