“We had a very enjoyable day, pick up was prompt, drive was comfortable and driver and tour guide James was second to none. He was professional, attentive and a pleasure to be around and a real credit to the company. He deserves a special mention as he was superb. We did the quad biking which was fantastic but were not told this had to be pre booked so this is a must. Port Stephens walk, led by james was spectacular.”
