The 80th birthday celebration tour was organised by their daughter. Our passengers are from Sydney so it is hard to give them something special, locally. However, it happened! It was booked for yesterday but Sydney trains are not always reliable. Our passengers rang a long while ahead to say they won’t probably won’t make it to the pick up place in time. They were on the train when they rang. We were able to reschedule for today.
Patricia didn’t want her face shown anywhere so we respect her wish and only show Anthony.

Review on TripAdvisor

“What a great way to celebrate our belated 80th birthdays. We loved the freedom we experienced while riding on the back of the trike. Brian was excellent and most informative. Thank you to Brian and Troll tours for their help and understanding when we were unable to meet due to transport issues they were quick to help and reschedule for the next day. We would highly recommend doing this tour.”

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Firstly, they rode past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928. It took from 1866 to 1928 to build and has a height of 75m. Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomooloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. Then it was up the hill and through Kings Cross.

Eastern suburbs

Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently). After there, they headed east through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay.

North Bondi and Brighton Lookout

There are a couple of lookouts at the North Bondi headland. They all offer beautiful views of Bondi Beach and out to the Tasman Sea, part of the South Pacific Ocean. Brian stopped there for a few photos and so they could admire the view. So far, on the 80th birthday celebration tour they have seen some great views and scenic sights.

Watsons Bay and The Gap

Heading north through some upper class suburbs, they rode to “The Gap” and stopped for photos. The view towards North Head and out to the South Pacific Ocean. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula. The Gap is an ocean cliff which faces the Tasman Sea, is located in the suburb of Watsons Bay. Although the cliff is a popular tourist destination, it is infamous for suicides.

Bondi Beach

Next, they drove past the world famous Bondi Beach to the south side. Looking from the two ends of the beach give a different perspective. This is the beach where Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series is filmed. When in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up, so Brian turned around, rode back through the city and dropped them back at Circular Quay. In conclusion, the 80th birthday celebration tour was a lot of fun, very scenic and a memorable experience. Feel the Freedom!

The Xmas gift voucher Harley tour was bought from our customer for her husband, son and friend. Two other friends wanted to do the tour as well. They are South Africans living in the north-west of Sydney. Our 5 Harley riders met the passengers at Milsons Point, north of the Bridge.

Review

“We did a Troll Harley Tour from North Sydney, through the Eastern Suburbs yesterday. What a great experience with great riders who are knowledgeable, fun and super safe.

This was part of my father-in-law’s 80th birthday celebration and he had a ball. Thanks to Phil, Pat, Alan and the other riders. I’d highly recommend them.”

Kirribilli

Firstly, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos. So far, the cousin’s Sydney trike tour was a lot of fun and they have already seen so much.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Next, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. This bridge is the eighth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up, so our Harley riders dropped them at Bondi Icebergs. Here they can have some lunch, enjoy the scenery and relax after so much fun. In conclusion, the Xmas gift voucher Harley tour was a great experience, a lot of fun and something our passengers will always remember! A fabulous Christmas present.

The southern birthday trike tour was organised by Darren’s parents. Our trike rider picked Darren and his Dad up from their home in Helensburgh (55 km south of Sydney) and took them south on a tour.

Review

Hi Katrina, 

They had a fantastic ride and Brian was great, they loved every minute of it and said they would do it again, thank you for everything.  I have posted on your Facebook page.

I will certainly be recommending your rides. The photo is great.

Best wishes
Sandra

Firstly, they rode south down the Princes Highway to Scarborough. A great way to clear the cobwebs!

Sea Cliff Bridge

After there, they turned and headed north. One of the main attractions of this tour and of the area, is the Sea Cliff Bridge. The road used to have some scary moments. The potential of falling debris or subsidence into the sea made it necessary to close the road, but all is well again. The impressive 665 metre Sea Cliff Bridge is now in operation, snaking its way around the cliffs and over the water, offering a far safer but spectacular route.

Bald Hill lookout – Stanwell Tops

Famously well known, Stanwell Tops is known for its beautiful coastal, escarpment and cliff views. The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment with strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding and paragliding. It is the perfect spot to take a photo and admire the views of the ocean, the escarpment and the Sea Cliff Bridge. So far, on the southern birthday trike tour, they have seen some great views.

Otford Lookout

They rode further north to the Otford Lookout. It has lovely views over the South Pacific Ocean and is worth a visit.

However, the hour was almost up so Brian headed back to Helensburgh and the passengers home. In conclusion, the southern birthday trike tour was a lot of fun and a memorable experience.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge tour was perfect for our African passengers. In Sydney for a holiday, the trike tour was a great way to see the two main icons of Sydney. There are plenty more icons but these are Sydney’s main ones.

Our trike rider Brian, picked them up from their hotel in Sydney’s CBD.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Blues Point Reserve

Continuing on, they rode on through Milsons Point, did a left hand turn and rode up a few streets. This lead to Blues Point Reserve. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather. Another perfect place for photos.

However, the hour was almost up, so Brian rode back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and dropped them off at their hotel. In conclusion, the Sydney Harbour Bridge tour was a great way to see the two icons – the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House across Sydney Harbour. Overall, a huge success and so much fun. Feel the Freedom!

The surprise FIL Harley tour was organised by Eric for his wife and father-in-law. Our Harley riders picked the passengers up from their home on the north shore.

However, the 2 hours was almost up, so our Harley riders turned around, rode back through the eastern suburbs and dropped them back at their home. In conclusion, the surprise FIL Harley tour was a lot of fun, very scenic and a memorable experience. Feel the Freedom!
