Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Learnt lots of local history & night photography tips under the stars at Watsons Bay last April. We started our tour with wine & nibbles, getting to know the rest of the group. So much fun. Have booked an overnight summer Moon-walk with friends & can't wait :)

I had the privilege of joining in on a tour this past January -- the overnight Moonwalk in the Royal National Park. Absolutely brilliant tour -- well planned and executed by some of the most enthusiastic and passionate guides on the planet. From a moonlit supper, to light hiking, to night photography lessons and fun... Oh, and let's not forget sleeping RIGHT ON THE BEACH and waking up to a beautiful sunrise... UDU does an amazing job.

What an amazing night, i was a 1st time night photographer and learnt lots about taking photos with light effects which is just what I went for…Some people had been taking photos for years and still enjoyed the night and seemed to learn new things…
Andy was very helpful and innovative… Although it wasn’t a master piece in the end, coming up with the idea to drawing the opera house and harbour bridge with the real thing in the background has made me think of endless possibilities of things to do… and it was a good laugh in the process
Talk of the Moonwalks in has got me keen to try one next summer

Thanks Dale. We look forward to seeing you again and seeing how your night photos have progressed. The Moonwalk is certainly the pinnacle for photographing nature at night!

Just returned home from a night photography tour down at lady Macquarie's chair on Sydney harbour.
Andy and Dee, our guides were excellent. It didn't mater if you were a novice or experienced in night photography he made you feel at ease and explained the process in a way that everyone could understand. When you arrived we had a little picnic sitting under a tree and then explored the park and everything you could do with lights during the night with your camera
I highly recommend this tour for anyone that likes to take photos and I cant wait to try the moon walk tour in the warmer months..

We found out about this tour by accident (through a group buying website) and oh boy are we glad we did.
This is a family run and operated business in its most literal sense (run by a father and son team) who are extremely passionate about what they do and are both not only very knowledgeable but also have a great ability to share their knowledge in an extremely fun and informative manner.
The whole experience was quite magical and unlike anything we have ever done before. Sleeping on a secluded beach with a massive full moon over your head is one experience everyone must try at least once.
The organisation and logistics around this trip were extremely professional and nothing less than top notch. Everything went extremely smoothly and the food was very tasty and plentiful (including catering for vegetarians).
This tour has a very strong focus on night time photography so if you're into that, you would absolutely cherish that. If not, this might all get a bit too technical for you at times (but it doesn't diminish from the overall experience).
Overall, this is a very unique tour run by an extremely professional and knowledgeable mob with an infectious passion and enthusiasm for what they do. Big thumbs up guys.
Good on you UDU!

Booked a full day tour in March. The total tour was over 11 hours. It was a wonderful experience.
I requested to avoid tourist places and so he arranged. Great views of the vineyard region, parks and coastal area. But without th crowds as he knows the backroads and when to be where at what time.
He showed up in a new BMW X3, prepared food and drinks and was very good in telling about the tings we saw. Having lunch at a michelin star level restaurant added the level we were looking for. He's a very friendly and safe driver.
Next time I'm there I will surely book him again to explore more regions around Sydney.

After trying to do the moonwalk for two years, we finally got to on our 4th attempt on Saturday. Over the last 2 years Andy has been extremely helpful keep us posted about bad weather reports, information & other tours to do in the meantime to keep us busy. The moonwalk was fantastic I can't rave about it enough, it's just a pity that the royal national park have cancelled the contract. Even though my camera wasn't as fancy as everyone else's, the photographer's were happy to help me. The glow sticks & finger lights were an added touch. The Australian & astronomical knowledge was plentiful & interesting. The dinner was yummy & filling, seeing we were nowhere near a kitchen. And the staff were so friendly. I really hope this tour runs again one day as it was excellent, I'm still over the moon about it! Alternatively I will b following UDU in there next adventure!
