Alan our guide was amazing and inclusive of everyone in the group. We had multiple nationalities and disabilities and Alan made sure he made reasonable adjustments to ensure they were all part of the experience. Alan went above and beyond as he made a foggy and rainy day into a memorable trip so we all got the very most out of the day. Alan told many great stories and gave a whole host of anecdotes and facts from anything about Sydney itself to birds, flora, animals and the blue mountains national park. His humour and energy kept us all going throughout the day.
