“Our tour guide, Jay, was wonderful. He took us on a few hikes in the Dandenong Ranges and then to some beautiful botanical gardens. We stopped for lunch at a great cafe and were an arms length away from a hundred cockatoos. He then drove us around the city while explaining the history of Melbourne. Soooooo much fun. Best guide ever!

“Jay is a wonderful tour guide.
We just spent the day with Jay touring the Dandenong ranges
He picked us up at the appointed time and place. It was a private personalized tour for just the two of us in his private car..
He immediately ascertained our physical limitations and planned the day accordingly.
The hike through the Dandenong forest was incredible with the gum trees, and the fern trees just captivating us.
He is very knowledgeable about botany. He has another business in native landscape, gardening.
He has extensive knowledge about the indigenous people and respect for the land and he willingly shared that knowledge with us
He then took us to Dandenong botanical gardens and took a special interest in showing us the Australian garden, the highlight of which was a billabong
For the entire day, he was very solicitous of our physical limitations, taking frequent breaks along our walks
We would recommend this tour heartily for anyone as a great way to spend a day.”

“Our last day before returning to the UK we took the trip with Jay. For me, I could not have imagined a better experience. Jay is a knowledgeable, passionate and spiritual person. This was not a visit where the guide just re-iterated what had been said many times before but was a sharing of knowledge and insight. When we parted I felt we were leaving a friend behind. Thank you Jay.

“Highly recommend. A great day trip.
Respect shown for the sacredness of the area for the indigenous tribe who worshipped there. He knows his birds and nature and the history of the areas. Due to my health issues after a forest walk he realised i could not climb hills so he added on a trip to the botanical gardens there and saw the Chelsea award winning landscape. A great trip to get a taste of what one would like to see again on other trips there probably for overnight stays. Highly recommend this trip and this guide Jay.

“Excellent experience! We can’t praise Jay enough. Due to unforeseen events, we couldn’t stick with our original plan. Jay came up with a creative solution that allowed us to sort out our issues, while still getting a taste of the forest that he clearly loves. Our time in the car was filled with delightful conversation on a wide variety of topics, and our time in the forest was calming and awe-inspiring. If you have a chance to tour with Jay, grab it!

“My wife and I, visiting Australia from Canada, took the William Ricketts Sanctuary tour with Jay in July 2017. It was a fantastic day, full of magical moments. Jay is not only a
great guide but also an incredibly kind and generous person. The whole experience felt like discovering the treasure that is the William Ricketts Sanctuary with a close friend, what a treat ! The day’s program is perfectly well paced, and the lunch was wonderful.
At the end of day we told Jay that we enjoyed his company so much that we would like to take another tour with him, any tour, just for the pleasure of spending more time with him. We ended up going with Jay to the Dandenong Range a few days later, and it was again a very pleasant day. I highly recommend taking any tour that Jay offers, you will be spoiled and will never want to do large group tours. Meeting Jay was on of the highlights
of our 5 weeks trip across Australia. Thank you Jay.
